Leverage Industry 4.0 Technologies and New AI Capabilities to Drive Operational Excellence
June 17, 2019
Sponsored by: AspenTech
As the energy industry searches for ways to thrive amid volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) market conditions, many are turning to Industry 4.0 technologies and AI capabilities to gain a competitive edge. While we have long heard about the promises of autonomous operations and self-optimizing systems, they have only been partially realized in the past with closed-loop control and optimization. Now, the enabling technologies are real and accessible. Download this paper to learn how tomorrow’s leaders will create the smart enterprise of the future — and achieve operational excellence that is sustainable regardless of market conditions.
RECHARGE HNP™: Enhancing Hydrocarbon Recovery with a Next Generation Huff ‘N Puff Treatment that Combines Gas and Nanoparticles
March 22, 2019
Sponsored by: Messer
As wells age, production declines due to several factors. Messer and Nissan Chemical recently introduced a new Huff ‘N Puff process that combines gas and nanoparticles for synergistic recovery enhancement from declining wells. The RECHARGE HNP™ technology, suitable for both conventional and unconventional oil wells, has shown improvements of more than 500% in cumulative production. This white paper details the technology, treatment process, and production improvements in two central Texas, U.S., formations.

Industry 4.0 is causing the oil and gas industry to undergo a tremendous transformation, and companies are realigning their investments based on this dynamically changing market that has led to a shift in mindsets from just a few years ago. We are observing that most companies are looking at the market dynamics on how they should incorporate digital transformation in order to create efficiencies, maximize production, minimize errors, reduce cost and optimize maintenance control. With JP Global Digital 3D solutions we are able to help companies build their digital roadmap by enabling them to solve their toughest challenges and allowing them to utilize data-driven analytics to avoid unexpected cost and failures. Our 3D digital solutions allow operators to keep a keen eye on developing the grounds for predictive and preventive maintenance while providing superior performance for their key stakeholders.
Expanding Oil & Gas Unmanned Aircraft (UA) Inspections
February 15, 2019
Sponsored by: AiRXOS
Unmanned Vehicle (UV) Oil & Gas inspection is having a significant impact on cost savings, reduced human risks, and improved efficiencies. By using Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) and 1:Many advanced UV operations, the return on UV investment magnifies, generating cost savings in the millions. AiRXOS, part of GE Aviation, is today enabling oil and gas customers to optimize inspections by flying beyond sight lines and using multiple UVs for one operation.
