The Race for More Oil
November 02, 2015
Sponsored by: Bentley
With demand for oil projected to keep climbing, oil companies are exploiting harder-to-reach reservoirs and keeping existing assets operating much longer. Designing a platform for harsh conditions or deep water that is easy to build, cost-effective to install, and safe to operate is no easy feat – and the risk of failure is high.
Improving worker safety in the oilfield

Many customers are challenged by higher than desired worker injury rates and inefficiencies due to impractical and inflexible protection solutions. Injuries are expensive, time consuming and ultimately impact the company's bottom line. The numbers tell the full story. In recent information from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were an estimated 8,500 nonfatal injuries and illnesses within activities supporting oil and gas extraction in 2011.

Effectively restimulating unconventional wells requires a full completion system that can deliver proppant volumes at pump rates consistent with today’s stimulation operations. Packers Plus StackFRAC® HD Slimhole system is designed with a smaller liner outside diameter (OD), enabling the system to run inside a previously completed cemented or open hole completion system. Providing full coverage in a horizontal wellbore, the StackFRAC HD Slimhole system can effectively restimulate a well and establish maximum connectivity with the reservoir.
Operator boosts production by restimulating well in the San Juan Basin

An operator required methods for restimulating the well while minimizing inside diameter restrictions for flowback. The operator realized significant economic benefits and reduced their operational risk by effectively restimulating the well using the Packers Plus StackFRAC® HD Slimhole system.
How Real-Time Analytics on Streaming Data Can Transform the Oil Industry
September 01, 2015
Sponsored by: SAS
Traditionally, oil companies have needed to collect, store, process and analyze masses of data – repeatedly. This paper examines how three technologies – the Internet of Things, event stream processing and prescriptive analytics – are radically overhauling this industry today. Because these technologies let you capture, manage and analyze data in real time, you are enabled to make timely improvements, mitigate risks and optimize assets. Identify opportunities sooner. Be smarter about how you operate. And totally change the way you think and how you respond.
