Increase ROI When Moving Through Exploration into Field Development
August 31, 2021
Tracerco
In this webinar, industry experts Patrick Hayes and Dr. Sudiptya Banerjee will demonstrate the value of using chemical tracers as an essential technology throughout all phases of a reservoir E&P lifecycle with a focus on hydraulically stimulated wells. After outlining the different methods of tracer monitoring and guidelines for tracer selection, the webinar will explore the value proposition for using chemical tracer technology during and after exploration through a series of illustrative case histories. By the conclusion of this talk, attendees should understand how tracers can provide insight into their reservoir and production strategy.

Frac different with the digital capabilities of TechnipFMC’s iComplete™ ecosystem
May 19, 2021
TechnipFMC
iComplete™ is a fully integrated ecosystem that minimizes complexities using standardized equipment that can be set up for any unconventional well in the world. iComplete™ has 50 percent fewer components, 80 percent fewer connections, reduces OpEx costs by 30 percent, and drives further efficiencies through a digital interface, eliminating human intervention in the red zone. In this webcast, Graham Horn and John Eden will be sharing with the audience how TechnipFMC’s iComplete™ ecosystem is bringing the industry one step closer to a fully autonomous frac pad. This disruptive technology is increasing operation governance through reduced infrastructure, fewer personnel in the red zone and instance-based decision making – removing the manual process required to evaluate status and communicate, as well as the potential for human error.
