Open Secure Remote Operations and Custody Transfer

May 26, 2021
Sponsored by: Bedrock Automation
The Covid pandemic interrupted delivery of many of the benefits that IIoT and digitalization promised for midstream and upstream oil and gas. Now as many are getting back to work, they are finding that the efficiency, flexibility and security for which they had been planning is more important than ever — for both recovery and profitable operation. This webinar presents an architecture that will help make sense of digitalization, illustrated by examples of how it can be applied for both remote operations management and custody transfer. KEY TAKEAWAYS – Learn why midstream and upstream automation must be both open and secure Learn how open secure remote monitoring can improve upstream operating efficiency by more than 50 percent Learn how open secure flow computing can reduce custody transfer lifecycle costs and protect revenue Learn how to leverage zero-trust public networks for near zero-cost access to automation for operation and maintenance purposes

Frac different with the digital capabilities of TechnipFMC’s iComplete™ ecosystem

May 19, 2021
Sponsored by: TechnipFMC
iComplete™ is a fully integrated ecosystem that minimizes complexities using standardized equipment that can be set up for any unconventional well in the world. iComplete™ has 50 percent fewer components, 80 percent fewer connections, reduces OpEx costs by 30 percent, and drives further efficiencies through a digital interface, eliminating human intervention in the red zone. In this webcast, Graham Horn and John Eden will be sharing with the audience how TechnipFMC’s iComplete™ ecosystem is bringing the industry one step closer to a fully autonomous frac pad. This disruptive technology is increasing operation governance through reduced infrastructure, fewer personnel in the red zone and instance-based decision making – removing the manual process required to evaluate status and communicate, as well as the potential for human error.

Performing with Sustainable Purpose

HydraGlyde high-performance water-based drilling fluid system delivers ROP comparable to oil-based mud, exceptional hole cleaning, and wellbore stability in high-angle-build and long-lateral sections. Advanced technology is the pathway to achieving sustainability goals. Recognizing that sustainability and drilling performance go hand in hand is the first step toward achieving aggressive targets for carbon footprint reductions and overall environmental performance. And using life cycle analysis (LCA) is one of the crucial measurement tools. This presentation highlights a complete approach to LCA for drilling fluids and cuttings, along with an example of improved sustainability performance using water-based mud in concert with other advanced drilling, solids control, and waste management technologies.

Enhancing performance agility and doing more with less is key to succeed in this evolving environment. With more than 100 years in the market, Cameron, backed by Schlumberger, is supporting the customers’ production journey wit fit-for-purpose groundbreaking technologies that are redefining fracturing and flowback. Learn how these technologies have been and will help you achieve your financial, productivity, efficiency and sustainability targets in a constantly changing environment.

Achieving the Full Potential of Low-cost, Low Carbon Technologies

April 28, 2021
Sponsored by: NexTier, NOV
Low carbon technologies have advanced significantly over the last several years with the advent of Tier IV dual fuel capable of displacing 80%+ of the diesel demand, and other power generation products with improved thermal efficiency. Emission-related performance with these technologies may vary but often falls short of their full potential due in small part to the engine and dual fuel kits and in a much bigger way, the fuel supply. We will discuss engines, dual fuel kits, natural gas options, and how to harmonize all the variables to drive peak performance and more importantly sustained and consistent results.
