For our second panel this morning at the Future Oil & Gas Conference in Aberdeen, our experts discuss “Making digital twins sustainable in driving business change and digital transformation,” moderated by Glen Milne Production Systems Manager, Spirit Energy. Kris Atkinson, Customer Success Manager, EMEA & APAC, Cintoo, said, “Having access to the digital twin, access to the information, will improve health and safety and sustainability.” John Tillema, Founder & CTO, TWTG, said “From a future perspective digitalization is now able to be built as an end to end solution.” Haavard Oestensen, EVP and CCO, Kongsberg Digital, added, “We’re working on machine vision that can detect if someone is wearing personal protective equipment. The first use cases is improving the safety. Fortunately, we see more companies taking a step back with rising labor costs, inflation costs, supply chain costs, we can’t do it the same way we always have done.” Dr. Edmary Altamiranda, Control Systems Lead R & D, Concept Development & Technology, Aker BP ASA BP, said, “We need to connect to our wireless network to get the data for the work we are doing at this industry level for these high speed network protocols.” 👉 Sign Up to Watch Live > https://lnkd.in/gaBQfJvg #FOG2024 #digitaltwin #digitaltransformation #technology #oilgas

🚤 Sulmara's USV provided geophysical survey for Bayou Bend CCS 🎯 Subsea specialist Sulmara has helped Bayou Bend CCS, joint venture owned by Chevron, Talos Energy and Equinor, unearth the “best data we’ve seen” from an uncrewed surface vessel (USV) during a high-resolution geophysical survey at the Bayou Bend carbon capture and storage project in Texas, USA. Bayou Bend CCS commissioned Sulmara to conduct an archaeological and geohazard assessment of the proposed Bayou Bend pipeline route from the landfall to the future offshore platform locations, which has the potential to reduce emissions from regional industrial facilities by safely storing carbon dioxide underground. Sulmara utilised an Ocean Power Technologies electric WAM-V 16 USV for the offshore data acquisition to help significantly lower the overall carbon footprint of the project by reducing the number of diesel-burning vessels offshore, as well as shortening the time required to conduct the survey. 🎤 Sulmara Project Manager Darius Rivera, PMP, PMI-ACP said, “The quality of the data gathered is some of the best we’ve seen from a USV. That quality of information, as well as the operability of the equipment and relationship that has been developed, have been key to the project’s success.” The collaborative project utilized the SpaceX-backed Starlink satellite system to ensure strong communications between the shore and the USV, allowing the Scotland-based company to push the technology further than ever before. 🎤 Darius Rivera, PMP, PMI-ACP added: “With the survey area around 15km from shore, we integrated the WAM-V with Starlink to achieve higher speed communications with the mobile remote command centre. This is the first time we have been able to go beyond the 3km mark with this size USV, ensuring improved quality of data and reducing the time needed to collect the information when compared to a conventional survey vessel.” 🎤 Andy Nicol, Regional Director for the Western Hemisphere at Sulmara, said: “We are proud to partner with Bayou Bend CCS on this important project. Our development of towed sensor capability from an uncrewed platform is a clear demonstration of our commitment to both sustainability and innovation. 📃📷 Source: Sulmara #sulmara #opt #wamv #bayoubend #chevron #talosengery #equinor #usv #unmannedsurvey #robotics #madeinusa #zeroemission

Our recently reprocessed Bains 3D seismic data, masterfully executed by RealTimeSeismic (RTS) and carried out in close collaboration with the subsurface teams at dCarbonX & Snam, has fundamentally advanced our understanding of the field's future potential as a new major UK offshore underground gas storage facility.    The Lower Triassic Bains depleted gas field (Licence GS007 – East Irish Sea Basin - 100% dCarbonX) was originally developed during 2002-2009 using a single subsea horizontal well drilled on vintage 2D seismic data. Reservoir imaging was subsequently improved with the 2008 Bains 3D seismic survey, which indicated that the Bains trap  principally comprised two fault block compartments (W & C).    The newly reprocessed 3D data volume has revealed an additional high amplitude and potentially un-depleted easternmost fault block (E), which had previously been masked in the ‘shadow’ of the main bounding fault. As mapped, the crest of this new eastern fault block (E) constitutes the ultimate structural culmination of the field. This study again illuminates (no pun), the value of carefully executed modern 3D seismic reprocessing - and that sometimes Mother Earth can serve up a pleasant surprise! dCarbonX gratefully acknowledges the UK North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) who kindly provided the original 2008 Bains 3D seismic & well data for this study via its National Data Repository (NDR). dCarbonX Snam S.p.A.

Opportunistic 4D using non-repeated MC data is a cost-effective way of performing 4D surveillance so operators can gain additional insight into the dynamic behaviour of their producing assets at opportune times when production data might indicate some unexpected behaviour. However, as the article points out, these opportunistic 4D investigations are no substitute for dedicated 4D surveys but serve as additonal data points in a continued monitoring process.
