.... This allows MCPs to maintain flexibility and avoid being locked in to aging technologies, while managing risk and avoiding expensive scope or schedule changes. IE concepts are introduced early to help influence the operating philosophy and design and to allow for consideration of research and development...

... Abstract The objective of this paper is to identify ways to accelerate the uptake and fulfill the value potential of Intelligent Energy (IE). The paper is co-authored by a cross-industry group drawn from operators, service provides and product vendors, all of whom have been involved in the IE...

... Abstract In a competitive environment and uncertain economic conditions, running flawless operations is becoming an even more acute concern. This is true for any operator and for service companies providing production optimization services. To this end, a digital oilfield program...

... WITSML 1.4.1.1 server. Here several applications will perform data quality assurance on the data, e.g. to check for data gaps. In addition the data flow is monitored 24/7 from an operation center before data is consumed by several applications. We have been working closely with one operator for several...

... from well test data, and seamlessly integrate the well estimates and the asset metering system into a framework immediately familiar to the Production Operator. This was a sustainable and operationally simple solution to the fundamental problem: "how much oil, gas and water are my individual wells...

... Abstract Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT) are converging as integration from the real-time to the enterprise gains ground across many industries. This paper focuses on accelerating the convergence of IT and OT to deliver increased safety, efficiency and productivity...

... for slugging detection or Kalman Filtering for reservoir pressure prediction, in situations where uncertainty precluded the use of physical models. The benefits of this system include production uplift, increased operator efficiency, optimal use of gas lift experts, and timely mitigation of issues The key...

... Abstract This paper will show how learning from another industry can have a measureable, positive impact on the energy sector; and how BP's recognition and early adoption of one visualization system has generated significant value through reduced Operational Expenditures (OPEX), increased...

... Abstract Intelligent Energy solutions have been successfully adopted by many operators with documented benefits. Still challenges remain, such as weak cross-discipline collaboration, sub-optimal decision making, and an inability to effectively learn from experience. Hence, enterprise IE...

... Abstract Automated procedures sound simple and yet they have not been used in the past by many of the so-called continuous industries, including upstream. As the upstream industry is looking more and more at moving to unmanned remote operations, this paper will show how major operators have...

... Abstract Integrated planning unveils insight into a large project and all its bottlenecks for every discipline. In order to optimize utilization of facilities, optimize scheduling and its subsequent operations, an integrated planning tool was developed especially for large scale and complex...

... with focus on teamwork, leadership, decision-making and situational awareness. Case studies and customized scenarios are also treated. These developments in well control training provide a safer and more productive drilling environment. annular pressure drilling communication information operation...
