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.

Smartengo Running Expert: Deploying Digital on the Rig

June 26, 2019

Smartengo Running Expert is Vallourec’s new digital solution designed to enhance running operations on the rig and capture the value of in-field data. Building upon individual pipe traceability, the solution allows you to manage pre-tally, to supervise running operations and to track rig returns. In addition, by scanning the pipe as it is run-in-hole, it can generate a real-time digital well construction report with easy to access running performance analytics. What advantages does this bring? Fábio Yoshida and Calum Thomson will present the results of recent projects in the field which demonstrate how Smartengo Running Expert can improve operational efficiency, save rig time and accelerate time to first oil. The digitalization of the well construction report is the first step towards generating a digital twin of the well, to enhance asset management and ensure well integrity.

Frac-Hit Mitigation: Best practices for understanding and managing parent-child well interactions

June 19, 2019

There are numerous frac-hit mitigation strategies, including shut-ins; temporary abandonments; frac-and-flow; small pre-loads; high-rate, water-defensive fracs; and refracs. It’s important to note that there are innovative completion techniques to help with understanding and determining the optimal mitigation technique. In this webcast we will see how three completions technologies help you understand parent-child interaction and mitigate/avoid frac hits before completing your wells. We will learn how existing data can provide a map of well signatures can be used to identify parent fractures in child wells. We will also see how analyzing pressure, acoustic and temperature variation data in real time can warn you before a frac hit occurs.

Current Trends in Produced Water Management

May 02, 2019

Join Mark Patton, President and CEO of Hydrozonix, as he reviews current trends in produced water management and shows how they are influencing your business. During this exclusive webcast, Mark will assess the future direction of the produced water market and deliver an update on SWD wells and seismicity and how related concerns are impacting disposal capacity and driving produced water recycling. The webcast will also evaluate completion method trends and show how these have increased the opportunity to use produced water as a completion fluid. Real-world case studies will also be shared to demonstrate low cost produced water recycling/reuse scenarios.

Overcoming Drilling Challenges in the Permian Basin

April 25, 2019

Faster, longer, straighter. These three words encapsulate the challenges facing companies drilling in the Permian Basin today. We continue to see record breaking ROPs and lateral lengths. In this 60 minute webcast, we will see presentations and case studies on two of the latest technologies that are helping companies overcome drilling challenges in the Permian Basin.
