Artificial Intelligence Transforms Seismic Interpretation

• Thursday, 3rd June 2021

Within the upstream industry, getting more accurate information is the best way to increase production and save time. Seismic interpretation is the optimum technique to discover and develop profitable fields and reserves. As time passes, digital transformation goes deeply into the oil and gas industry to develop and update the sector and particularly the exploration and production (E&P) operations that seek more productivity. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the next technology breakthrough to come. For seismic interpretation, AI will help in facilitating the process of oil and gas explorations.

Aster & Fuzzy Logic: New Methods in Hydrocarbon Exploration

In the world of exploration and production (E&P), new technologies are always on the rise looking for a way to maximize hydrocarbon production with efficiency. Remote sensing techniques have been used in the oil and gas industry for quite some time, but not as extensive as geological and/or geophysical surveys. A new study presented by Reza Taheri, Assistant Instructional Professor at the University of Wyoming, and Alan Tait, Adjunct Research Fellow, at the University of Monash, provides a new remote sensing technique, specifically Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), to be used in hydrocarbon production.

MOBILE SOLUTIONS FOR GAS FLARE REDUCTION

Innovative technologies for more efficient and environmentally friendly utilization of associated petroleum gas are flooding the market. There is a plethora of available products to choose from that will help replace gas flaring with other more economically viable and energy efficient alternatives. The technologies were developed for countries that cannot adopt standard solutions such as building expensive gas pipelines that would transport associated gas.

Deepwater Natural Gas Exploration Technologies

While Egypt has received positive news recently regarding onshore gas projects in the Nile Delta and Western Desert, 80% of its gas reserves reside in the Mediterranean Sea. However, since most of the gas is located in deep-water fields, extraction has proved difficult.

Unconventional Assets The Global Resource Potential and Challenges for Egypt

• Wednesday, 31st December 2014

The US sets up a great example to follow: The “unconventional resource asset revolution” represents a paradigm shift in energy supply that is reshaping global energy markets. In the U.S., unconventional resource plays have proven to be quickly producible in large volumes at a relatively low cost. The surge in hydrocarbon production from unconventional plays in the U.S. has resulted in abundant supplies of natural gas, oil (light tight oil), and natural gas liquids (NGL) that have reversed long-term declines in natural gas and oil production. Less than 10 years ago, most predictions for the U.S. forecast dramatic increases in LNG imports to meet increasing demand. Today, the U.S. is preparing to export LNG in the near future, and may become a net oil exporter around 2030.

Fugro SAE Implements ROV and Subsea Engineering Control Deepworks Training Simulator Module for Egyptian Candidates

• Wednesday, 31st December 2014
• by Egypt Oil & Gas

Deepwater and ultra-deepwater operations are now a core part of the business for many installation contractors. They rely heavily on Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), lifting equipment and running tools for the deployment, maintenance and repair of deepwater production infrastructure. Additionally, umbilical, riser and flowline installations at depths up to 9,000 feet present huge technical and logistical challenges.

Perenco’s Innovative Approaches to Egypt’s Gas Fields

In 1975 Perenco was founded as a marine services company but spread into upstream operations in 1985. The independent oil and gas company's strategy ''evolved rapidly towards increasing production and reserves, renewing licenses and securing additional acreage for exploration and development opportunities.'' Perenco now spans onshore and offshore across the globe, with headquarters in Paris and London.
