The main opportunity for the upstream industry to radically improve oil field performance is in the adoption of digital-age technologies. The challenge will be to achieve effective integration of these applications with the different work-flows and areas of activity that exist in the oil and gas sector.
This challenge will be among those under the spotlight during Intelligent Energy 2006 to be held in Amsterdam. The biennial event is organised by Spearhead Exhibitions and the Society of Petroleum Engineers.
John Darley, Chairman of the Executive Committee for IE 2006 and Executive Vice President, Technical for Shell International E&P said: “The key challenge appears to be the integration of digital technology across the different work-flows and areas of activity in the oil and gas industry.
“While individual applications are often successful, the ability to integrate data flows, e.g. from the subsurface, through reservoir and well production monitoring and into surface control systems, still proves a challenge in practice.”
Alongside the inaugural three-day conference will be an exhibition giving visitors the opportunity to see cutting-edge digital technology currently being used and supplied by the industry’s leading players, including majors such as Shell, BP and Saudi Aramco, and oil services giants such as Schlumberger, Landmark and Weatherford.
