Intelligent Digital Oil and Gas Fields Excerpt :
Intelligent Digital Oil and Gas Fields: Engineering Concepts, Models, and Implementation focuses on technical equipment and workflows to introduce the concepts of computer analytics, collaboration and change management-all important aspects of the digital oilfield. The book is packed with multiple examples and lessons learned from various budgets, conditions and case studies, creating a reference that can help managers, engineers and key IT experts understand specifics on how to filter data, address analytics, and link workflow across PPT (People Process and Technology), enabling the team to make better informed decisions with a higher degree of certainty and reduced risk. Digital oil fields started as a small and expensive investment but gained popularity quickly to help increase productivity of reservoirs. Today oil and gas companies, both big and small, can utilize this fast-paced technology; however, with data increasing and operating environments and budgets becoming more challenging, petroleum engineers and managers are always pressed to keep up with more complex infrastructures and turn big data into profitable decisions. The book features a list of references for further reading and a look-ahead chapter on the next generation digital oil field, e.g., cloud computing, big data analytics and advances in nanotechnology. The book helps transform engineering workflows and data analytics into successfully delivered oil and gas projects. Covers multiple examples and lessons learned from a variety of reservoir and production budgets, conditions and case studies Includes techniques and training on change management and collaboration including how to plan and present to management on project value Delivers real and readily applicable knowledge on technical equipment, workflows and data challenges such as acquisition and quality control that make up the digital oil field solutions of today
