Sustainability

Understanding todays oilfield industry's electrification challenges is undoubtedly no easy task. With the mounting environmental mandates, continued pressure to manage operating expenses, and lowering emissions at the project site, it makes more sense than ever to have a power engineering partner. Investing in technology that will not only get your project up and running quicker and under budget but that’s' as well environmentally friendly. During this 60-minute webcast, we will discuss the topics facing the Upstream & Midstream Oil & Gas Industry and examine oilfield electrification methods to obtain greater operational efficiencies and also a means to reduce emissions by meeting and exceeding environmental requirements.

Geothermal operators are facing several technical challenges that need to be tackled to ensure that geothermal wells are reliable on the long-run and optimized in terms of heat supply efficiency. The premium solutions (material, grades and services) that have been used for decades in Oil & Gas activities show promising results in enhancing geothermal wells’ reliability and performance. However, specific evaluations need to be performed to guarantee their compatibility. In this webcast, Maximilien De Maisonneuve and François Penven, in charge of the Geothermal division at Vallourec, will introduce how available technologies at Vallourec can help geothermal operators meet challenging scenarios as well as to ensure their projects’ cost effectiveness. These solutions will be illustrated by some real business cases. Finally, the speakers will also shed some light on what the future of tubular solutions could look like for the next generation of geothermal wells.
