If not, you can do so by visiting: https://lnkd.in/djseFXTk Our second speaker of the evening will be SPE Distinguished Lecturer Dr. Muhammad Arsalan from Saudi Aramco, who will be giving a talk titled "New Frontiers in Intelligent Completions". Dr. Muhammad Arsalan is a seasoned professional with over 25 years of experience in academia and various industries including energy, space, semiconductors, biomedical, and chemicals. He has over 100 international patents and publications related to advanced sensors, systems, and tools. He is the recipient of 2022 SPE Completions Award for MENA region and multiple national and international awards and distinctions for his entrepreneurial skills and groundbreaking contributions in research and innovation. He is leading a team of experts in multiphase metering, advanced sensing, and robotics at Saudi Aramco's Advanced Research Center. His team is working on innovative surface and subsurface production monitoring, control, and optimization technologies. Abstract: Managing uncertainties in reservoirs, particularly in carbonate rocks, is a major challenge. Intelligent completions give the ability to monitor and control specific zones within wells. Without this control, the well may be lost when a zone unpredictably waters out and require mechanical intervention with its associated risks and costs. Most of the existing intelligent completions are limited to the newly drilled wells or cased holes. The challenge is to economically convert exiting open-hole horizontal wells into smart wells to achieve real-time monitoring and control for optimal recovery, enhanced production, and maximum operational efficiency. A large number of wells are completed at open-holes with no casing, tubing or umbilical available for power and communication. With the aging of these oil wells, unwanted gas and water break-thru are commonly reported issues. With most of these wells in horizontal open-hole configuration, this leads to a work over, or in extreme cases, abandoning or sidetracking of the wells. These solutions are expensive and require a rig to perform the job. A rig is an expensive and scarce commodity that results in long wait times and lost production. To resolve these issues, the revolutionary Thru-tubing Retrievable Intelligent Completion System (TRICS) is conceptualized that is based on thru-tubing access for both initial completion and future modifications and replacements of existing, as well as, newly drilled wells. Award-winning TRICS is a rig-less deployed, on-demand, modular, real-time, monitoring and control solution targeted for open-hole horizontal wells. Unlike commercially available solutions, TRICS is a "free-form" platform that can be deployed ‘only’ when needed. TRICS consists of game-changing technologies that will revolutionize production engineering and reservoir management.

There are only two days left to secure your tickets for our upcoming Summer Party at Kvilhaugen Gård, which is happening this Wednesday, August 21st! Visit the following link to purchase your tickets: https://lnkd.in/dWmcVsTA The second speaker of the evening will be Dmitri Gorski from "Heavelock Solutions" and "Nicoustic", who will be giving a talk titled "Non-intrusive acoustic level measurement in separator vessels - first offshore pilot". Dmitri Gorski holds a PhD in process engineering and an MBA in technology management. He has spent around 15 years working with brownfield and greenfield projects for Statoil/Equinor as well as with technology development and commercialization for small companies and start-ups. Today, he holds CEO positions in Heavelock Solutions and Nicoustic. The latter is a spin-off from Equinor and Fraunhofer IKTS set to develop non-intrusive level measurement in process tanks. Abstract of the presentation: Accurate measurement of liquids and solids level in process vessels such as oil and gas separators is important for safety, production optimization as well as for minimizing CO2 emissions and dosage of chemical additives. Non-intrusive measurement of level offers opportunities to significantly decrease installation and maintenance costs as well as to increase personnel safety and instrument reliability. Non-intrusive level measurement is a good fit for Greenfield projects, and it is great in Brownfield context. Mature fields often have increasing challenges with solids and emulsions, something they are seldom equipped to measure. Retrofitting intrusive level measurement equipment on a producing asset is prohibitively expensive; production needs to be stopped for at least a week and the project becomes part of turnaround scope. Technologies widely used for level measurement in process equipment today are intrusive. Behind Nicoustic is many years of advanced research in Guided Ultrasonic Waves at Fraunhofer IKTS (Dresden) combined with determination of Equinor to improve level measurement on its assets. The first field trial of Nicoustic non-intrusive level sensors has started on Snorre A in April this year. In parallel with that, a Joint Industry Project (JIP) aimed at further advancing this technology has been initialized with broad support from 6 Norwegian and International operator companies. This presentation will describe the development effort behind the technology, the first results of its piloting and the implications it has for cost and emission reductions on existing and future assets.

Cable and optic fibre company Nexans has signalled its confidence in the offshore wind industry, pledging to invest €90 million to support growth in the sector. The money will be spent on a new 53m tower that will provide insulation for onshore cables at its plant in Belgium, which in turn will produce 3,000mm2 of 525kV HVDC onshore cables to connect three offshore wind products to the German grid. The three future wind farms – BalWin 3, LanWin 4 and LanWin 2 – in the North Sea will be operated by TenneT, the Dutch transmission system operator that also operates in a large part of Germany, where electricity is destined for. TenneT has contract Nexans for the grid connections with an initial value of €1.7 billion that will allow the company to connect 6GW with its subsea cables to the German grid. BalWin 3 and LanWin 4 are due to be commissioned in 2031. The significantly increased expansion targets for offshore wind energy across Europe and in Germany are leading to a simultaneous increase of demand for capacities of construction companies in the field of HVDC technology, offshore platforms and cable systems. This is causing shortages among manufacturers and resulting in necessary planning changes for the realisation of offshore grid connections. “The ability to produce land cables up to 525kV is a game-changing capability that will enable us to drive the transition forward for years to come,” said Pascal Radue, EVP of Nexans’ Generation and Transmission Business Group. “We are looking forward to completing this critical upgrade in our infrastructure to keep pace with the ever-increasing electricity demand globally.” €90 million may sound like a lot, but it’s a drop in the ocean for Nexans, which reported sales of €6.5 billion in 2023.

If not, you can secure your tickets by visiting this link: https://lnkd.in/dWmcVsTA The first speaker of the evening will be Bjarne Rosvoll Bøklepp from Equinor, who will be giving a talk titled "Data driven decision making - are we there yet?". Summary of the presentation: "How do we know if the decisions we make are good if we are not able to analyze them?" The first part of this presentation establishes the structural or functional relation between data and decision making and covers the main definitions and assumptions used. The second part is about some work and studies carried out in Equinor related to a proposed framework for quantifying the utility and hence the value of subsurface information. The third part introduces the business decision schema and framework based on the "6 elements of decision quality" principles, currently being implemented in the OSDU data platform enabling project linage and decision tracking and analysis. Lastly, a simplified well planning/construction use case is shown as an example of how the decision framework can be utilized for the realtime decision process in well placement optimization.
