Blended, hybrid networks: the next frontier for the digital oilfield
August 05, 2024
Sponsored by: Marlink
Hybrid networks have become essential for high-value communications, especially in remote locations. Offshore oil and gas companies are leveraging digitalization to enhance operations, improve efficiency and reduce risk. This digitalization requires custom networks with high throughput and low latency bandwidth that can reliably and securely access cloud-based applications. This paper introduces the importance of SD-WAN, automatic failover, and meeting the 99.7% availability while addressing cyber security challenges.
Improving the economics of brownfield platform electrification with subsea transformers & high-voltage, wet-mate connectors
August 05, 2024
Sponsored by: Siemens Energy
Reducing the offshore industry’s reliance on fossil fuels for power is critical to achieving near- and long-term decarbonization targets. Platform electrification using utility power from shore is the most practical strategy for reducing the carbon footprint of fixed and floating production facilities with high power demands.
Advanced Thermal Insulative Coatings Reduce Cost and Maintenance Burdens While Ensuring Employee Safety
July 05, 2024
Sponsored by: Sherwin Williams
Offshore and onshore facilities in the oil and gas industry must protect workers from burns using physical barriers or insulation systems. Physical barriers are costly and obstructive, while insulation systems risk corrosion under insulation (CUI) if wet. Thermal insulative coatings (TICs), such as Heat-Flex® 7000, offer an effective alternative, providing burn protection, reducing CUI risk, and maintaining process heat. Heat-Flex 7000 meets OSHA guidelines, resists moisture, and enhances safety without the drawbacks of traditional methods.

Formation Evaluation for a Sustainable Future
May 10, 2024
Sponsored by: AspenTech
Formation evaluation plays an essential role in helping decision makers locate and evaluate suitable geological formations for sustainable resource utilization, as well as predict and mitigate potential environmental impacts. Techniques such as seismic imaging and well logging can be repurposed to assess subsurface conditions for sustainability projects like geothermal energy and CCS.
Understanding subsurface geology and fluid dynamics is crucial for the development and operation of these projects, to expand renewable energy sources and store captured CO2.
By providing accurate data about subsurface conditions, formation evaluation enables informed decision-making regarding natural resource utilization, promoting sustainability and responsible stewardship of resources.
