HydraGlyde high-performance water-based drilling fluid system delivers ROP comparable to oil-based mud, exceptional hole cleaning, and wellbore stability in high-angle-build and long-lateral sections. Advanced technology is the pathway to achieving sustainability goals. Recognizing that sustainability and drilling performance go hand in hand is the first step toward achieving aggressive targets for carbon footprint reductions and overall environmental performance. And using life cycle analysis (LCA) is one of the crucial measurement tools. This presentation highlights a complete approach to LCA for drilling fluids and cuttings, along with an example of improved sustainability performance using water-based mud in concert with other advanced drilling, solids control, and waste management technologies.

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.

Low carbon technologies have advanced significantly over the last several years with the advent of Tier IV dual fuel capable of displacing 80%+ of the diesel demand, and other power generation products with improved thermal efficiency. Emission-related performance with these technologies may vary but often falls short of their full potential due in small part to the engine and dual fuel kits and in a much bigger way, the fuel supply. We will discuss engines, dual fuel kits, natural gas options, and how to harmonize all the variables to drive peak performance and more importantly sustained and consistent results.

Abaco's single direction stators with deviated profiles address drilling stresses on the power section lower end using a variable fit that reduces friction and overheating. The result has been a proliferation of the technology across all the demanding drilling applications in the US shale basins. We will show details of the way Abaco’s OPTIFIT technology addresses stall and thermal damage in challenging drilling environments. Dyno test power curve comparisons showing OPTIFIT versus conventional designs will be presented. We will close with a summary of the field successes in a variety of basins and formations.

Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS) is essential to deliver clean industrial growth and to achieve net-zero ambitions. Recently, CCUS has started to gain momentum thanks to policy support and governmental funding programs and several projects are expected to enter operation in the near future in Europe, Australia and the US. To ensure safe and cost-efficient deployment of such projects, it is key to de-risk the entire CO2 value chain and the required infrastructure. Companies need to be very selective and attentive to quality when selecting tubular products for transporting and storing captured CO2, due to the complex requirements of CCUS projects such as material exposure to low temperatures or corrosive environments. As an end-to-end supplier of high-performance tubular solutions, Vallourec is well positioned to help the industry deploy safe and sustainable CCUS infrastructures worldwide and leverage our built-in competence, adapting our material and product portfolio to meet these requirements and close the knowledge gaps.
