Sponsored by: AspenTech
Near-field or infrastructure-led exploration is growing in popularity, with lower discovery costs and a higher likelihood of faster time to market. This requires optimization across the upstream value chain and further automation to reduce dependencies on scarce skilled resources. Digitalization is a strategic and necessary focus that can provide a competitive advantage for upstream companies.
This paper presents an end-to-end digital solution approach that can reduce project costs and timetables, accelerate time to revenue, optimize production, leverage existing assets and infrastructure, and reduce the carbon intensity of products.
Finding a Better Lining for Free Water Knockout Vessels

Sponsored by: Sherwin Williams
Inside free water knockout vessels (FWKOs) used in the upstream energy market, high pressures and temperatures separate oil, gas and water from fluids extracted from the earth. These stresses present challenges to the coatings used to line such vessels. Add to that corrosive attacks from some of the most aggressive materials to come out of the ground, and it might seem like no coating can stand a chance at remaining adhered inside a FWKO over the long term.
