Webcasts
World Oil webcasts and webinars are in-depth presentations on oil and gas applications, trends and technology. Moderated by a World Oil editor and including technical experts, these events are focused on providing qualified engineers and professionals in the upstream oil and gas industry with the latest information pertaining to offshore and onshore exploring, drilling, completions and production.
How to make your offshore operations cyber secure and reliable
June 15, 2021
Sponsored by: Siemens Energy
Modern offshore operations are highly complex, generating tens of thousands of data points and transmitting them to onshore control centers across multiple types of networks. Offshore facilities also include technologies from many suppliers that interface with the main process control system, each with their own cybersecurity profile. Mature, proven control systems are often selected but require interfaces to new technologies.
In this heterogeneous environment that combines old and new, understanding what's on the network can be a significant challenge. Similarly, tracking and managing patches, obsolescence, antivirus, and hardening profiles multiplies in complexity. Many IT offerings do not contemplate these environments so the industry is turning to customized OT cybersecurity products.

Agile Subsea Production Systems – Optimize Investment. Maximize Returns.
June 09, 2021
Sponsored by: OneSubsea
Historically, the subsea development workflow was sequential, fragmented, and not adaptive to change. That has made it difficult, time consuming, and expensive to manage the changes that are inevitable in the energy industry. OneSubsea Agile Subsea Production Systems—Agile SPS—enhance subsea performance from appraisal through abandonment to mitigate the dynamic risks associated with subsea production system selection, configuration, delivery, and production. And, regardless of your basin’s status, development phase, or current infrastructure, Agile SPS bring optimized performance through its life of field configurability. Agile SPS adapt to dynamic field conditions for the life of the field incorporating a standard platform that starts with a common core and adapts to your requirements with numerous fit-for-purpose functional modules that address technical challenges without affecting the core performance. Discover how Agile SPS offer you the responsiveness, functionality, and certainty that you need to strengthen your business case and optimize economic viability in your basin.
Intelligent Pipe Solution – Monitoring Your Well From the Inside
June 08, 2021
Sponsored by: Vallourec
Well integrity to prevent catastrophic damage has always been a key focus of the Oil and Gas industry and operators continuously work to reinforce it. Today, well integrity data available throughout the life of the well remains limited.
Our Intelligent Pipe solution brings operators a new tool to better understand and monitor their wells. Our solution integrates an innovative pressure and temperature sensor based on MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) technology directly on the pipes which allow operators to access previously inaccessible areas in the well in real time.
The webcast will present this innovative intelligent tube solution based on the expertise of two recognized companies, Vallourec and OpenField. This approach is new and, leveraging the latest IoT technologies, opens a new era for easier and optimized data-based Oil and Gas well monitoring.
Open Secure Remote Operations and Custody Transfer
May 26, 2021
Sponsored by: Bedrock Automation
The Covid pandemic interrupted delivery of many of the benefits that IIoT and digitalization promised for midstream and upstream oil and gas. Now as many are getting back to work, they are finding that the efficiency, flexibility and security for which they had been planning is more important than ever — for both recovery and profitable operation. This webinar presents an architecture that will help make sense of digitalization, illustrated by examples of how it can be applied for both remote operations management and custody transfer.
KEY TAKEAWAYS –
Learn why midstream and upstream automation must be both open and secure
Learn how open secure remote monitoring can improve upstream operating efficiency by more than 50 percent
Learn how open secure flow computing can reduce custody transfer lifecycle costs and protect revenue
Learn how to leverage zero-trust public networks for near zero-cost access to automation for operation and maintenance purposes
Frac different with the digital capabilities of TechnipFMC’s iComplete™ ecosystem
May 19, 2021
Sponsored by: TechnipFMC
iComplete™ is a fully integrated ecosystem that minimizes complexities using standardized equipment that can be set up for any unconventional well in the world. iComplete™ has 50 percent fewer components, 80 percent fewer connections, reduces OpEx costs by 30 percent, and drives further efficiencies through a digital interface, eliminating human intervention in the red zone. In this webcast, Graham Horn and John Eden will be sharing with the audience how TechnipFMC’s iComplete™ ecosystem is bringing the industry one step closer to a fully autonomous frac pad. This disruptive technology is increasing operation governance through reduced infrastructure, fewer personnel in the red zone and instance-based decision making – removing the manual process required to evaluate status and communicate, as well as the potential for human error.
