Features
Combining well data with seismic impedance permits porosity modeling that is computationally simpler, more accurate than conventional cokriging
Investigation shows that chances of finding commercial oil/gas in the Nicaragua Rise are much greater in the west than in the east (Jamaica)
Defining source rock from produced water * Geophysical data from government sources * What's new in marine seismic * Immersive environments enhance team collaboration
Special Report
ARCO estimates savings of $621,000 per drill site
Reduced design, installation and startup costs provided significant benefits
Devicebuses and sensorbuses complete the architecture
A 32-page supplement presents eight technical articles describing "process fieldbus" technology, digital field networks for bi-directional communication between devices of basic process control loops in various oil, gas process applications
The technology simplifies field-level communications and provides new functionality
Use these guidelines to set up an experimental Foundation fieldbus system
Similar conventional and fieldbus installations are compared
The technology provided 3% capital savings, as well as ongoing engineering and maintenance benefits
This fieldbus organization provides many services and benefits
