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.

Innovative Power Section Design Drives Performance and Improves Reliability

April 21, 2021
Abaco Drilling
Abaco's single direction stators with deviated profiles address drilling stresses on the power section lower end using a variable fit that reduces friction and overheating. The result has been a proliferation of the technology across all the demanding drilling applications in the US shale basins. We will show details of the way Abaco’s OPTIFIT technology addresses stall and thermal damage in challenging drilling environments. Dyno test power curve comparisons showing OPTIFIT versus conventional designs will be presented. We will close with a summary of the field successes in a variety of basins and formations.
