Improving worker safety in the oilfield
October 30, 2015
Sponsored by: Ansell
Many customers are challenged by higher than desired worker injury rates and inefficiencies due to impractical and inflexible protection solutions. Injuries are expensive, time consuming and ultimately impact the company's bottom line. The numbers tell the full story. In recent information from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were an estimated 8,500 nonfatal injuries and illnesses within activities supporting oil and gas extraction in 2011.

Effectively restimulating unconventional wells requires a full completion system that can deliver proppant volumes at pump rates consistent with today’s stimulation operations. Packers Plus StackFRAC® HD Slimhole system is designed with a smaller liner outside diameter (OD), enabling the system to run inside a previously completed cemented or open hole completion system. Providing full coverage in a horizontal wellbore, the StackFRAC HD Slimhole system can effectively restimulate a well and establish maximum connectivity with the reservoir.

An operator required methods for restimulating the well while minimizing inside diameter restrictions for flowback. The operator realized significant economic benefits and reduced their operational risk by effectively restimulating the well using the Packers Plus StackFRAC® HD Slimhole system.
How Real-Time Analytics on Streaming Data Can Transform the Oil Industry
September 01, 2015
Sponsored by: SAS
Traditionally, oil companies have needed to collect, store, process and analyze masses of data – repeatedly. This paper examines how three technologies – the Internet of Things, event stream processing and prescriptive analytics – are radically overhauling this industry today. Because these technologies let you capture, manage and analyze data in real time, you are enabled to make timely improvements, mitigate risks and optimize assets. Identify opportunities sooner. Be smarter about how you operate. And totally change the way you think and how you respond.
Drilling Optimization Through Advanced Analytics Using Historical and Real-Time Data
August 03, 2015
Sponsored by: SAS
Now more than ever, SAS® Visual Analytics provides the tools you need to improve understanding of wells and operations – even if you’re not a statistician. And with an easy-to-use interface atop a robust framework of data management and advanced analytics solutions, engineers can ask and get answers to unanticipated questions on the fly. The paper shows how using advanced analytics can help operators not only to analyze the root cause of events, but also to predict critical events or failures. Such efforts will help to reduce nonproductive time and facilitate safer, more efficient operations. The paper also briefly describes the rich set of solutions that SAS offers to improve overall drilling efficiency.
