Near-Field Exploration and Development: A Holistic Look at Leveraging Digital Technologies to Increase Productivity and Profitability
October 03, 2023
Sponsored by: AspenTech
Near-field or infrastructure-led exploration is growing in popularity, with lower discovery costs and a higher likelihood of faster time to market. This requires optimization across the upstream value chain and further automation to reduce dependencies on scarce skilled resources. Digitalization is a strategic and necessary focus that can provide a competitive advantage for upstream companies.
This paper presents an end-to-end digital solution approach that can reduce project costs and timetables, accelerate time to revenue, optimize production, leverage existing assets and infrastructure, and reduce the carbon intensity of products.
Finding a Better Lining for Free Water Knockout Vessels

Inside free water knockout vessels (FWKOs) used in the upstream energy market, high pressures and temperatures separate oil, gas and water from fluids extracted from the earth. These stresses present challenges to the coatings used to line such vessels. Add to that corrosive attacks from some of the most aggressive materials to come out of the ground, and it might seem like no coating can stand a chance at remaining adhered inside a FWKO over the long term.

Recently, there has been an increase in worker health and safety awareness across industries. Many have lost their lives due to worksite incidents and occupational illnesses. The Global Sustainability Standards Board (GSSB) issued guidelines since 2018 to develop sustainability journeys and reporting for health and safety. It is imperative for management to have safety solutions backed by digital frameworks in the worksite to minimise accidents. Wearable technologies like SmartWatches detect anomalies and prevent accidents with real-time alerts.
