Webcasts
World Oil webcasts and webinars are in-depth presentations on oil and gas applications, trends and technology. Moderated by a World Oil editor and including technical experts, these events are focused on providing qualified engineers and professionals in the upstream oil and gas industry with the latest information pertaining to offshore and onshore exploring, drilling, completions and production.
Seismos and C&J Energy Services: Innovation Through Collaboration
August 29, 2019
Sponsored by: Seismos and C&J Energy Services
For the first time, a technology company and an oilfield services company have joined forces to deliver an unprecedented level of reservoir understanding to shale operations. Using affordable, noninvasive solutions, this cutting-edge collaboration delivers measurable improvements in fracturing plans, field development and operational efficiency. C&J’s LateralScience℠ method uses common drilling data to optimize the well-completion design based on changes in rock hardness along the wellbore. The Seismos-Frac™ solution uses borehole pressure-wave reflections to evaluate the geometry and connectivity of the fracture network. Not only does this comprehensive solution provide superior reservoir intelligence, but it’s also designed to ensure that this intelligence is leveraged completely and executed flawlessly in the field. This gives operators powerful tools to address important challenges – such as avoiding frac hits, optimizing fracture treatment and avoiding screenouts. Real-time results are delivered in the field to maximize operational impact.

Make Better, Faster Decisions Powered by Augmented AI, Leveraging Basin Level Knowledge Captured by Big Data Sculpting
July 31, 2019
Sponsored by: QRI
Data-driven decision making is becoming more popular in Unconventional. However, since well performance is impacted by many factors (e.g. geological characteristics, completion design, well design, etc.), the challenge is uncovering trends from all the noise. A differentiated and superior “Augmented AI” technology provides quick and science-based answers for optimized well spacing, optimized completion design, remaining potential of an asset, etc, streamlining decision-making for operators, investment banks, and traders. In this webinar, learn more about big data sculpting, integrating private & public data, uncertainty quantification, and applicable AI. New case studies in Permian and Eagle Ford will be presented.
Simplify Automation of Multi-Well Pads
July 25, 2019
Sponsored by: Rockwell Automation, Prosoft Technology
When you have many different systems, brands and vendors working together in your oilfield, it can complicate your operations. So today, many oil and gas producers are transitioning from simplistic single-well pad fields to more complex multi-well pads, in an effort to cut costs and increase efficiencies. The increase in size and scope of these more complex multi-well pads, however, has created much greater data and control requirements. This makes measurement difficult and can lead to higher capital spend for producers. One single platform from a single solution provider, such as a programmable logic controller (PLC), can allow you to add well pads without additional RTUs and simplify your automation. Benefits of this architecture include:
• Improved scalability
• Enhanced data control and integrity
• Reduced installation time and costs
The Pioneers of the Electric Frac Revolution: Why every E&P should use Clean Fleet®
July 11, 2019
Sponsored by: U.S. Well Services
In 2014, U.S. Well Services (USWS) took the concept of utilizing clean-burning natural gas to fuel electric hydraulic fracturing fleets by developing and deploying their multi-patented Clean Fleet®. To date, they have completed more than 8,000 stages using their Clean Fleet® technology in multiple oil and gas basins throughout the United States. The use of natural gas turbine generators, paired with electric motor driven pumps, blenders and other auxiliary frac equipment, provide numerous advantages over the use of conventional diesel frac fleets. Such advantages include significant fuel cost savings, improved operational efficiencies, reduced repair & maintenance downtime, reduced noise pollution, as well as environmental benefits.
