...Current Challenges The higher drilling activities between 2019 to 2022 involving all drilling operators especially in East Malaysia waters triggers the requirement for the ‘Integrated LMP’ management. The drilling operators have been exposed to higher costs since every drilling operator has...

...High Temperature Hydrogen Attack Abstract High Temperature Hydrogen Attack (HTHA) is a phenomenon that has become a center of attention for operators of chemical, petrochemical and fertilizer plants after several incidents in the recent years. These incidents have forced the industry...

... Not only is the ‘license to operate’ at risk, but access to capital can be more difficult – or more expensive and shareholder relations can become tricky. Groups such as FollowThis or CarbonTracker challenge company boards and financial analysts about policies, sustainability targets...

.... As the funding, scale, and need for carbon capture projects accelerates dramatically, it is essential that industry and regulators are aligned toward ensuring environmental integrity – the industry's social license to operate, and the climate, will depend on it. air emission upstream oil & gas...

... questions that an operator has about how the process should work. Following the initials conversation, API sends over a Scope of Work for review, as well as the protocols (if requested). Site Confirms an Assessment (~4-6 months from assessment date): Following the initial meeting, API waits...

... As per the TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) approach, Autonomous Maintenance (also termed as "Operator Basic Care") is the strategy wherein machine adjustments and minor maintenance is performed by operators who are deemed to have unique knowledge about the equipment. It is a principle pillar...

... partners to the project: certification will provide an additional level of confidence in the work performed. Compliance with EU Sustainable Taxonomy / license to operate, e.g., for a non-EU supplier that wishes to export a carbon intense product offset by carbon storage activities. The EU Sustainable...

..., such as when the remaining reserves are less than 40%, or when the concession has a remaining period of less than 5 years, or in some cases when production has ceased. Normally, at some points in the process, security deposits are placed by the operator, which can be significant. Since this cost is seen...

... In the current Oil and Gas scenario process efficiency improvements are a priority for every asset, while safety and asset integrity management are becoming critical in order to minimize risk and increase asset reliability. A great help to achieve this target for an operating upstream system...

... Abstract GHGSat continues to be the only entity in the world operating satellites dedicated to high-resolution measurements of methane emissions. Every day, GHGSat makes measurements at hundreds of facilities around the world. To optimize the targeting of its satellite observations and turn its...

... horizontal wells. A dual-lateral well can deliver twice the reservoir contact while eliminating the drilling, casing, and cementing of an additional vertical wellbore section. Operators are implementing multilateral field strategies to reduce overall development cost, cycle times, and carbon footprint...

... performance of ESP systems to decrease downhole parameter fluctuations normally observed in challenging production conditions to improve oil production. Historically, ESP operations in mature fields in Ecuador have posed extremely demanding conditions, where reservoir depletion generates lower static...

... Abstract Low oil prices, coupled with operational challenges in offshore environment due to COVID-19 restrictions, have driven oil and gas operators to implement low-cost technological solutions to optimize fields’ production. For mature oil fields in offshore East Malaysia, sand production has...

... Abstract An important aspect of well test and well clean-up operations is the need to produce and responsibly manage the hydrocarbons, typically through flaring, which is potentially an environmental concern. This challenge has received significant attention over the past few decades...

... for change, threatening operators’ license to operate. Operators have responded with strategic convening and conspicuous investments in innovation and diversification. Yet they have barely begun to address the 4.1 GtCO 2 e of emissions—almost 10 percent of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas—created every year...

... operation. After two years of utilizing digital PIMS, the platform services have matured, and PETRONAS is able to reap the benefits of having a centralized digital platform for pipeline related information. The aspiration for the pipeline digital PIMS is to give near real-time insight of overall pipeline...

... Abstract Alarm system plays a pivotal role in the safe management of plant and its machinery. Alarm systems in Process plants are used to identify abnormal situations and to help plant Control room operators take timely, appropriate action. Ineffective Alarm system poses a serious risk to HSE...

... Abstract Optimization of gas lift rates in an oil field with hundreds of wells is a complex challenge. Typically traditional control systems and operating strategies fail to optimize the problem due to this complexity. Typical gas lift optimization challenges in a field include the following...

... Abstract In the process industry, a digital twin is a broad concept of a virtualized representation of the manufacturing plant's assets. It aims to seamlessly connect Information Technology, Engineering Technology and Operational Technology under one over-arching framework. The goal...

... Abstract TotalEnergies’ use of robotics on remote or offshore sites is considered with the objective of enabling unmanned operation for long periods and as the next frontier for increased personnel safety, industry attractiveness for young talents and further OPEX and CAPEX reduction...
