With advances in operational analytics, smart instruments and the applications they feed can now help identify problems in the process early in order to maintain optimum performance levels. I caught up with Emerson’s Drew Baker in the Permian Basin Service Center to share some onshore oil & gas production examples with me.
Upstream oil & gas producers face unique challenges in measuring their production compared with other industries. What comes from a well is a changing mix of oil, gas, produced water, and sediment. Traditionally, test separators have been used to periodically check an individual well’s performance. These well tests are performed on a periodic basis. I […]
Manufacturers and producers are looking for new ways to transform their business performance through a combination of technology, people and streamlined work practices. The nomenclature for these initiatives can change from industry to industry. For upstream oil & gas producers, many speak of these initiatives as the digital oilfield. The transformation efforts involve optimizing reservoir […]
Emerson’s Alena Johnson and Katie Stahl presented, An Integrated Solution from Well to Pipeline at the 2019 Emerson Exchange conference. Alena and Katie opened describing that they are part of the Emerson’s DP Flow business segment. DP (differential pressure) flow measurement is an important measurement in the oil & gas business. Alena described how differential […]
Emerson’s Orly Kletenik presented Reduce Drilling Uncertainty through Rapid Evaluation of Subsurface Scenarios at the 2019 Emerson Exchange conference. Orly opened by noting that exploration seismic data never grows old. It can be used through the life of the geological region. Challenges in exploration and development include the uncertainties in processing and imaging, geophysical, geologic, […]
