This innovation eliminates all manual operations associated with the Anti-Rotational Keys activation, reducing risks and improving running speeds.

Automatically prioritize wells by the criticality of their real-time operational condition with ConnectedProduction Lift Surveillance’s state-of-the-art artificial intelligence software. It’s easy to deploy and available in both cloud (SaaS) and on-prem architectures to fit into your organization today, regardless of size, scale, or level of digitalization. Created by combining technologies from trusted industry leaders Schlumberger Technology and Rockwell Automation, you can rest assured the software will continue to grow and adapt for years to come.

Mud gas and cuttings analysis remains at today the only direct measurement of, respectively, the reservoir fluid and rock, until a PVT sample and a core are available for laboratory analysis. Surface logging data is an attractive solution for the client to take real-time decisions as they are available while drilling, on a continuous basis and at relatively low cost. Nowadays the accuracy and quality of the surface logging data has reached a level comparable to more sophisticated downhole tools thanks to the technological evolution, processes automation and innovative digital workflows. In this presentation we will describe how Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning models and ground-breaking algorithms permit a more quantitative and objective approach to determine lithology classification, enhance the accuracy of the mud gas data even in extreme drilling conditions and enable predicting fluid properties while drilling.

As the Energy continues to accelerate digitalization and sustainability, join us at the Transforming Energy Brownfield to Smart-field in Weeks to discover how the latest technology advances are driving sustainability and profit.

The dynamic evolution of hydraulic fracturing operations is driving constant changes in the operators’ economics, expectations and priorities. Enhancing performance agility and doing more with less is key to succeed in this evolving environment. With more than 100 years in the market, Cameron, backed by Schlumberger, is supporting the customers’ production journey wit fit-for-purpose groundbreaking technologies that are redefining fracturing and flowback. Learn how these technologies have been and will help you achieve your financial, productivity, efficiency and sustainability targets in a constantly changing environment.

Learn how we are taking well construction beyond automation and into autonomy. The great strides that have been made in well construction automation are delivering good results, but the complex and dynamic environment of well construction requires more than automation to deliver consistent performance improvements. Our expert presenters will explain how we are achieving this by maximizing the capability with Autonomous systems, both in rig operations and downhole drilling.

Siemens Energy AS and BPT have been successfully working together for the past two years, as part of the Oil and Gas Technology Centre’s ‘Facility of the Future’ study, developing and maturing Floating Normally Unattended Installation technology.

Following successful six-month operational trials on Stena Spey and Stena Carron rigs, IDS will deploy its data driven TourNet Pro drilling contractor reporting service and drilling performance monitoring service, Anova DPM, across Stena Drilling’s fleet in Q1 2021.

During this 60 minute live webcast, Moderator, Joe D. Woods, President, International Pinpoint, will lead discussion on these topics: 1) “Digitizing Drilling Fluids”, with presenter, Katherine Price Hoelscher, PhD, Product Champion, M-I SWACO. 2) “Real-time Remote Monitoring Provides Improved Uptime in Oilfield Operations”, with presenters, Jesse Brazier, Remote Operations Center Manager and Joshua Haugan, Business Development Manager – North America Oil & Gas, Aggreko.

ABB has signed a new frame agreement to deliver safety and automation systems across Equinor’s installed base and greenfield projects worldwide, helping minimize cost, schedule and risk.

A new compensation format will help improve efficiency as Equinor awards new framework agreements for safety and automation systems with five suppliers.

The pilot project, performed with Total’s Multiphysics Exploration Technology Integrated System (METIS), uses autonomous drones and a ground vehicle to drop off and retrieve seismic sensors without human intervention.

Ingu Solutions, a Calgary-based technology company whose Pipers technology is dedicated to the pipeline inspection industry, announced it raised growth capital from Energy Innovation Capital and Chevron Technology Ventures.

The system was interfaced with a traditional land rig and performed automated well control, i.e. influx detection, spacing out, stopping of the mud pumps, stopping of the top drive and then shutting-in of the blowout preventer.

The vehicle is the first observation class ROV to utilize Forum’s Integrated Control Engine to bring greater functionality commonly only found in larger work-class vehicles.

The joint venture leverages Schlumberger’s deep oil and gas domain knowledge and Rockwell Automation’s rich automation and information expertise to address this fast-growing market.
