UK-based EPIC International has won a contract to use its new Late in Life Operation (LILO) model for “mothballing” near end-of-life North Sea platforms. The ca. £500,000 contract, with an UK independent operator on a southern North Sea platform…
LR Senergy’s new process uses computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model a well and near wellbore — and subsequently identify production optimization options and strategies. Jeannie Stell reports. Michael Byrne…
Emerson Process Management has acquired Norwegian company Yggdrasil, a provider of flow assurance and production optimization software. Emerson will incorporate Yggdrasil’s METTE production optimization solution into the Roxar reservoir management software portfolio…
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects need to demonstrate, through monitoring, that the injected CO2 is contained within the geological store during and after injection and no unexpected migration has occurred. In order to achieve this…
The last few years have seen significant advances in reservoir modeling technology, aiming at removing some of the critical bottlenecks in underlying work processes. Ingrid Aarnes. Given…
Baker Hughes released its next-generation JewelSuite 6 software, which helps operators with data-driven decisions across all exploration and production domains with integrated applications for geological modeling and reservoir engineering…
Modeling flow assurance regimes is no easy task, not least for long distance tiebacks, where the need for accurate modeling is crucial. Alexander Belkin outlines a model he has worked on. During the past several decades, offshore oil…
FEI and Weatherford Laboratories entered into a joint agreement to offer advanced reservoir characterization services to the oil and gas industry. The two companies will work together to create new workflows that integrate Weatherford’s traditional core analysis an FEI’s digital rock imaging…
Aspen Technology, Inc. announced the general availability of aspenONE Engineering and aspenONEManufacturing and Supply Chain Version 8.8 software. Developed for firms in the oil, gas, chemicals, engineering and construction and other process industries…
Efficiency, cost-effectiveness and optimized analyses are crucial in upstream asset development. OE spoke with Paradigm’s Indy Chakrabarti to chart the pathway to success. Jeannie Stell reports. Indy Chakrabarti…
SKF introduced a new model that will help engineers calculate a more realistic bearing rating life. This model will help enable OEMs and end users to match bearings to application conditions with greater certainty, resulting in improved bearing life and reduced operating costs…
CGG GeoSoftware acquired the rights to the VelPro velocity modeling and depth conversion product from In-Depth Solutions LLC. VelPro offers a faster and more complete velocity model building workflow to achieve more accurate seismic reservoir characterization…
Automation on the drillfloor has been slow to take off – but it is coming as advances in enabling technologies are made. Elaine Maslin looks at work ongoing in the field. Automation on the drillfloor has been slow to take off – but it’s coming and there will be no going back…
Pile Dynamics recently announced the release of a new model of Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) System, the PDA-8G, billing it as the culmination of a complete redesign effort of the most widely employed system for dynamic load tests of any type of deep foundation…
French seismic firm CGG says the UK’s central North Sea is still rich in opportunities for the development and discovery of new fields, despite its relative maturity and the challenges is poses around seismic imaging, especially in the deep…
