Fast-track engineering to expeditiously deploy new technologies in upstream oil and gas heavily relies on timely agreement and synergy between the engineering team and stakeholders on (1) tool architecture (2) operational envelope and wellbore environment (3) qualification criteria(s) and overall verification & validation (V&V) strategy, among others which lead to the product specifications. Here we present a "Case Study" where two new technologies, were engineered to order for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions: a first-generation Pressure-Temperature (P-T) flowable sensor from our "Teleo" product line, and a multilayered water reactive plug for multi-stage stimulation (MSS) and acid frac, designed from bulk ultrafine-grained light alloys and water reactive, nanocomposites.
