  • How Will Subsea Processing Technologies Enable Future Deepwater Field Developments?

     Contains 3 Component(s), Includes Credits Includes a Live Web Event on 01/28/2021 at 1:00 PM (EST)

    This talk presents on how subsea processing technologiees be the enabling technologies for future ultra-deepwater field developments and long distance tiebacks.

    This talk presents on how subsea processing technologiees be the enabling technologies for future ultra-deepwater field developments and long distance tiebacks. This study identifies the gaps that need to be closed and decision making process during the field development life cycle by considering both the technical and economic constraints of various subsea processing technologies. As E&P companies continue to strugggle during these uncertain and dynamic times,  the challenges associated with developing the deepwater fields are bound to escalate. Subsea processing technologies are the enabling and growing technologies due to their huge potential to increase recoverable reserves, to accelerate production and produced water treatment.

  • The Grand Challenge of Carbon Capture and Sequestration

    Contains 2 Component(s), Includes Credits Recorded On: 03/02/2017

    The SPE R&D Committee has identified 5 Grand Challenges that face the oil and gas industry as it addresses growing energy demand, the need for sustainable operations, declining production from older reservoirs, and new resources in harder to reach and harsher environments. Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) is one of these Grand Challenges and a technical section has recently been formed to support SPE members globally. At this webinar authors of an updated white paper will present the case for CCS, the challenges it faces, the current state of R&D, and areas for further research.

  • Your Data…Streamlined. Faster. Easier. Trusted... And With Less Turbulence.

     Contains 2 Component(s), Includes Credits Recorded On: 04/11/2017

    Join Ross Philo (CEO of Energistics) and Jay Hollingsworth (CTO) as they present an overview of these new capabilities and the impact they will have in delivering critical well-related information in a trusted format more quickly, and more comprehensively, than ever before. Learn how standards help save time and costs, open up the competitive landscape, and are the key to innovation and digital transformation.

    Everyone has heard of WITSML; nowadays it is practically ubiquitous for transferring well-bore and drilling-related data from an offshore well to onshore real-time monitoring centres. But did you know that WITSML has recently been revised to offer significant new capabilities? Most importantly, the latest version of WITSML is built on a common technical architecture that allows data from production-related information as well as earth-model information (handled by PRODML and RESQML respectively) to be consumed as part of an overall spectrum of data objects covering the entire development workflow – thus opening up a breadth of integrated information never before possible, and allowing activities such as real-time adaptation of drilling plans versus an earth model in order to optimize well placement in the reservoir. The standards also include data assurance objects to increase confidence in the underlying quality of the data, as well as audit trail capabilities to keep track of changes to key data.

    But that’s not all. The latest coordinated release of the Energistics standards also includes an update to the Energistics Transfer Protocol (ETP), which has been proven to deliver data at least 10x faster from data source to destination. In the words of one major oil company, the data transfer is now so performant and streamlined that it is like being on the rig watching the operation in real time, to the extent that they can reduce the need for key staff to go offshore.

    Join Ross Philo (CEO of Energistics) and Jay Hollingsworth (CTO) as they present an overview of these new capabilities and the impact they will have in delivering critical well-related information in a trusted format more quickly, and more comprehensively, than ever before. Learn how standards help save time and costs, open up the competitive landscape, and are the key to innovation and digital transformation.

  • Planning for Hydrate Formation under Extreme Conditions of Pressure and Brine Salinity

    Reliable predictions of hydrate phase equilibrium at extreme conditions, in terms of high salinity and high pressure, are necessary for development and operations in ultra-deep water oil and gas fields. The challenges go beyond hydrate management in pipe flow, such as, setting depth of surface-controlled subsurface safety valve (SCSSV) and effective risk mitigation during drilling, completions and workover activities. An increasing number of fields are being developed/operated with high salinity brines. While the hydrate challenges are recognized, one must also consider the coupling with salt precipitation, which may lead to scale deposition. However, current prediction tools commonly used for hydrates provide inconsistent results and are untested for conditions at ultra-high pressures (up to 30,000 psia), in particular for high salinity brines. This presentation will discuss measurements completed within DeepStar® 12202 Gas Hydrate Formation Under Extreme Conditions of High Pressure and High Salinity and modeling of hydrates phase behavior for high salinity brines (saturated and near-saturated) with different types of salts (NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, MgCl2, NaBr and CaBr2, as single salts and mixtures) for pressures up to 30,000 psia. To bridge the gap between the measured data and its applicability, a simple but robust correlation is developed that capture the hydrate suppression temperature, at a given pressure, for high salinity brines. The correlation is shown to be applicable for any salt system (single and mixed). The data and correlation are critical tools for the flow assurance engineer for successful hydrate management under such extreme conditions of pressures and brine salinities. This work was initiated, technically guided and funded by DeepStar®, Global Deepwater Technology Development Program as part of Phase XII projects in the Flow Assurance (X200) Committee.

  • Underperforming Gas Scrubbers: How to Fix Them and How to Avoid Them

     Contains 2 Component(s), Includes Credits Recorded On: 03/29/2017

    The aim of this presentation is to illustrate how an inadequate sizing methodology hinders scrubber performance.

    The aim of this presentation is to illustrate how an inadequate sizing methodology hinders scrubber performance. Old fashion practices still in used today, do not go deep enough into the fundamentals of the separation process, may rely on incorrect assumptions regarding flow distribution, and usually are not supported by representative test data. These shortcomings however, must be questioned when so often result in the need for expensive fixes just after plant startup. By making the design process itself the target of interest, this presentation provides a new perspective for the task of scrubber design. This important step, many times overlooked, can mean the difference between underperforming facilities in need of costly vessel upgrades post start-up and well-conceived facilities that can achieve the required separation performance from day one.
