This presentation covers the life cycle issues around water management for the upstream industry, with a focus on tools, strategies and ideas on how to reduce risk, cost and liability.

​Deposition of inorganic and organic solids in production systems compromises throughput and can cause other operational and safety issues. Once formed, remediation of deposits is costly, often resulting in lost production. In this presentation, we evaluate the performance of a highly hydrophobic diamond like carbon (DLC) coating on deposition of common production system solids.

This talk will present different techniques developed to understand the asphaltene behavior and their associated assumptions, limitations and uncertainties.

This presentation will paint a picture of water management’s complex similarities and differences among the basins and how it may impact your operations.

This presentation has the goal to describe how a proper factory inspection and field installation of the separation internals needs to be carried out. The installation and inspection must address the key issues that might occur to avoid poor separator performance.

A new energy system is emerging. The Paris Agreement has sent a signal around the world: climate change is a serious issue that governments are determined to address. By 2070 there is the potential for a very different energy system to emerge.
