Through a combination of optimized and standardized well design, risk mitigation and cost reduction, operators continue to push the boundaries of deep water exploration both in terms of geographical frontiers and technological advances to confront increased temperature and pressure. This presentation will provide some examples of OCTG well designs of pipe and connections being used to support deepwater projects along with additional critical considerations to ensure the weakest point of the string is understood. By incorporating actual pipe information, we can look to support operators to allow the potential build of a digital well. The digital well is Vallourec’s latest development to support deepwater and critical operations, to improve efficiency and generate the best results.

During this 60 minute live webcast, Moderator, Joe D. Woods, President, International Pinpoint, will lead discussion on these topics: 1) “Technology to Improve Performance and Lower Cost in Water Management Applications”, with presenter, Jeff Wilhelm, Sr. Vice President Artificial Lift & Water Management, GR Energy Services. 2) “Produced Water Reuse”, with presenter, Mark Patton, President and CEO, Hydrozonix. 3) “The Future is Now: Water Automation in the Oilfield”, with presenter Nate Banda, Vice President of Technology, Select Energy Services.

The boom in the consumer technology arena means increasingly affordable remote sensors and cloud computing are now putting digitalization within easy reach of the onshore upstream sector. From the wellhead through to central processing facilities there are a range of technologies powered by the Internet of things which can make operations more productive and less expensive than ever. These include local automated controls, remote analytical tools, SCADA in the cloud and artificial lift. Join this webinar to discover practical, low cost suggestions for how digital can help you not only work more efficiently and more effectively but also more safely by limiting the time you need to spend in the field.

During this 60 minute live webcast, Moderator, Joe D. Woods, President, International Pinpoint, will lead discussion on these topics: 1) "New Technologies in Hydraulic Fracturing", with presenters, Jeff Orita, Regional Sales Manager, Completion Tools, National Oilwell Varco and Ryan Supak, Sales Manager, Pressure Pumping, National Oilwell Varco. 2)"The Value Proposition of Regional Sand vs. Northern White Sand", with presenter, Lia Sedillos, Vice President Technical Sales, Covia. 3)"Will Machine Learning Drive the Next Shale Revolution?", with presenter, Andrey Bogdan, Ph.D., Technical Advisor for Advanced Analytics and Technology, BJ Services.

In this webcast, experts in big data present a new systematic process for the evaluation of oil and gas asset portfolios, where the performance and economic value of the entire portfolio are computed very quickly. The automation of this workflow relies on a proprietary data-driven solution that contains key technological components, including patented mathematical algorithms that analyze information for an entire portfolio of fields, such as decline rates, decline trends, recent well performance, field/well/operator ranking and reserves. The final deliverable is a fully interactive user-interface (UI) with key performance indicators (KPIs) that allows the user to review the history, current condition and expected future performance of the portfolio. This technology has been effectively used in the valuation of oil and gas portfolios for M&A, asset evaluations for A&D, and to prioritize future investments by obtaining a high-level, up-to-date understanding of all assets in a portfolio.
