This webinar focuses on the different aspects and requirements that need to be considered in order to obtain an optimal separator and internals design for floating facilities.

Introduces 3-D seismic techniques used in exploration and reservoir delineation. Describes operations involved in 3-D surveys, including field work, processing and interpretation.

In this webinar, MIC is explained in engineering terms. In addition, existing methods for recognition and treatment of MIC with their limitations and intrinsic drawbacks will be explained.

This webinar discusses a case study in the Eagle Ford shale in which a practical drawdown management workflow was developed to maximize well deliverability.

Introduces artificial lift methods, including gas lift, pump-assisted lift, and plunger lift.

Upon completion of this module, the participant should be able to: distinguish among the common methods of artificial lift and understand their advantages and limitations, select the most appropriate artificial lift method for a given set of well and economic conditions, perform basic surface and subsurface design calculations for gas lift and pump-assisted systems, and monitor artificial lift performance.

Asphaltenes are polar heteroatoms which are often found in varying amounts and properties in crude oils. They are usually dissolved in hydrocarbon mixtures. They may drop out due to changes in pressure, and composition, and temperature to a lesser degree. The precipitation and deposition in flow lines and in the production wells create problems. The deposition is often removed by aromatics such as xylenes. They can be also removed by functional molecules at much lower concentration.

​Additive Manufacturing, commonly known as 3D Printing, is a new manufacturing technique where material is added and a part is “printed” layer by layer. This makes additive manufacturing a method of choice for highly complex customized components. Additive Manufacturing has seen considerable growth in the Oil and Gas industry in last few years. Apart from being able to solve challenges faced by Oil and Gas Industry through complex designs, the biggest value added of additive manufacturing is the ability to manufacture obsolete parts at a reasonable cost and within a short time, as there is a lot of very old equipment still in operation.

After a tough year in GoM, BP decided to establish a permanent Flow Assurance Team to support GoM Operations in 2012. The goal of this talk is to have an open discussion about key lessons from 5 years in operations, best practices, difficult challenges that we have been facing, and how we are evolving as a discipline to cope in the current business environment. Career advice will also be "sprinkled" throughout the talk.

This topic presents the basic elements of a coiled tubing well intervention and outlines the steps involved in pre-job planning, job execution, and post-job activities from a field engineering/operations standpoint.

Eight mechanisms have been identified, including two primary and six supportive mechanisms, which will allow for oil and gas production systems to be operate temporarily within the hydrate stable region without resulting in a hydrate blockage.

The talk will focus on the next crucial steps to operationalize a successful Machine Learning pilot. In order to start capturing business value of a model for competitive advantage, it needs to be effectively deployed into production.

The concepts behind the digital oilfield will be discussed and how they fit together into creating an ecosystem to deliver value. Concrete elements will be presented that illustrate the entire value chain and technology stack necessary to deliver on the promise of the digital oilfield. We illustrate this vision with a concrete example in which live data from an entire oilfield full of sucker-rod pumps is fed into a central facility, analyzed for predictive maintenance, and used to perform proactive maintenance on the pumps.
