Digital Transformation

Currently, only 16% of all oil and gas organizations make non-sensitive IoT data available to anyone in their organization, and to their partners, to access and to use. A more strategic, open approach to gathering and sharing non-sensitive data could unlock substantial benefits for businesses struggling to make the most of IoT projects.

This innovation eliminates all manual operations associated with the Anti-Rotational Keys activation, reducing risks and improving running speeds.

Schlumberger announced at the International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC) the introduction of the GeoSphere 360* 3D reservoir mapping-while-drilling service.

Automatically prioritize wells by the criticality of their real-time operational condition with ConnectedProduction Lift Surveillance’s state-of-the-art artificial intelligence software. It’s easy to deploy and available in both cloud (SaaS) and on-prem architectures to fit into your organization today, regardless of size, scale, or level of digitalization. Created by combining technologies from trusted industry leaders Schlumberger Technology and Rockwell Automation, you can rest assured the software will continue to grow and adapt for years to come.

Mud gas and cuttings analysis remains at today the only direct measurement of, respectively, the reservoir fluid and rock, until a PVT sample and a core are available for laboratory analysis. Surface logging data is an attractive solution for the client to take real-time decisions as they are available while drilling, on a continuous basis and at relatively low cost. Nowadays the accuracy and quality of the surface logging data has reached a level comparable to more sophisticated downhole tools thanks to the technological evolution, processes automation and innovative digital workflows. In this presentation we will describe how Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning models and ground-breaking algorithms permit a more quantitative and objective approach to determine lithology classification, enhance the accuracy of the mud gas data even in extreme drilling conditions and enable predicting fluid properties while drilling.

Asset performance management (APM) consists of two key elements: predictive analytics and maintenance strategies. Setting the right strategic path for any particular industrial application depends on understanding the current state of equipment health, and then being able to plan for improvement based on predicting what will be needed to maintain and bring assets to an even more efficient state.

The Northern Lights joint venture between Equinor, Shell, and TotalEnergies will use the DELFI environment to optimize performance in carbon transport and storage.

Learn how Shell used a digital platform to transform energy supplier relationships; driving collaboration, efficiency and diversification across their supply chain.

As the Energy continues to accelerate digitalization and sustainability, join us at the Transforming Energy Brownfield to Smart-field in Weeks to discover how the latest technology advances are driving sustainability and profit.

Inmarsat, a leader in global, mobile satellite communications confirmed the successful launch of its first Inmarsat-6 satellite, I-6 F1, by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries from the JAXA Tanegashima Space Center in Japan.

The new grant supports the development of a new SMART Cable between New Caledonia and Vanuatu in the southwest Pacific Ocean, which will provide essential monitoring for tsunami and earthquake early warning.

Neptune Energy announced the development of new “digital twins” of two platforms in the Dutch North Sea, which will accelerate work schedules, and reduce costs and environmental impacts by enabling engineers to work onshore.

“Having the right data available at the right time and in the right format can have a huge impact for the future of the Norwegian shelf,” says May Karin Mannes, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate's Director for shelf analyses and data management.

Maersk Drilling has spearheaded an effort to develop a first-of-a-kind product to support digitalization of offshore drilling processes. The solution, known as RigFlow, has now been segregated into the digitally focused company named Horizon56 A/S to drive further development and commercialization.

Cognite announced a collaboration with Equinor to expand data capabilities and support the company’s digital ambitions.

Seeq Corporation, a provider of manufacturing and IIoT advanced analytics software, has reached an agreement with Saudi Aramco to further expand its operational analytics strategy as part of the company’s ongoing Digital Transformation program.

As deadlines on ambitious green-energy targets draw nearer, the infrastructure and expertise of the fossil fuel industry has a critical role to play in reaching the world’s decarbonization goals.

The company notes that COVID-19 has been a wake-up call to the upheaval that a sudden drop in energy demand and/or labor availability can cause, and digital oilfield technologies such as digital twins and other remote monitoring solutions will be gamechangers in upstream oil and gas operations.

Building on an existing collaboration that has been ongoing since Aker BP was established, KDI will continue to contribute in accelerating Aker BP’s digitalization process by enabling real-time cloud-based data access, supporting decision-making, and improving efficiency.
