Produktbeschreibung
Intelligent Digital Oil and Gas Fields: Concepts, Collaboration, and Right-time Decisions delivers to the reader a roadmap through the fast-paced changes in the digital oil field landscape of technology in the form of new sensors, well mechanics such as downhole valves, data analytics and models for dealing with a barrage of data, and changes in the way professionals collaborate on decisions. The book introduces the new age of digital oil and gas technology and process components and provides a backdrop to the value and experience industry has achieved from these in the last few years.

The book then takes the reader on a journey first at a well level through instrumentation and measurement for real-time data acquisition, and then provides practical information on analytics on the real-time data. Artificial intelligence techniques provide insights from the data. The road then travels to the "integrated asset" by detailing how companies utilize Integrated Asset Modelsto manage assets (reservoirs) within DOF context. From model to practice, new ways to operate smart wells enable optimizing the asset.

Intelligent Digital Oil and Gas Fields is packed with examples and lessons learned from various case studies and provides extensive references for further reading and a final chapter on the "next generation digital oil field," e.g., cloud computing, big data analytics and advances in nanotechnology. This book is a reference that can help managers, engineers, operations, and IT experts understand specifics on how to filter data to create useful information, address analytics, and link workflows across the production value chain enabling teams to make better decisions with a higher degree of certainty and reduced risk.
Autorenporträt
Gustavo is a Sr. Reservoir Engineer at BP America conducting automated workflows to evaluate unconventional assets and deploys data analytics for production optimization. He is developing full field reservoir simulation models for unconventional reservoirs using history matching in complex geologic systems containing rock matrix, hydraulic fractures, and natural fractures. Prior to his current position, he worked for Halliburton delivering Digital Oil Field intelligent strategies and operations. Gustavo has more than 20 years of experience with IOC, NOC and services companies, and he has published more than 60 technical papers on the subject of reservoir studies and DOF applications, developed more than 40 complex automated workflows that include classic reservoir and production engineering tools combined with artificial intelligence components, and has 15 patents for improving real-time model-based operations. He holds a BSc in Petroleum Engineering from the Universidad de Orient

e (Venezuela), a MEng in Project Management from the U.C. Andres Bello (Venezuela), and an MSc and MPhil, both in Reservoir Engineering from Heriot-Watt University, Scotland, UK.
Rezensionen
"Chapters are pitched at a very accessible level and should be useful for giving students and domain specialists a good (if uncritical) view of the big picture. Coverage includes a fairly extensive top-level treatment of AI and machine learning in predictive analysis of equipment failure. A must-read for all practitioners." --Oil IT Journal

"A comprehensive guide to the digital oilfield from well-qualified specialists."

Intelligent Digital Oil and Gas Fields (IDOF) by Gustavo Carvajal (BP America), Marco Maucec (Saudi Aramco) and Stan Cullick (Rare Petro) is a 350-page, information-packed resumé of the digital oilfield movement. The authors experience of the DOF began in the mid 2000s when, as specialists from Halliburton, they worked on Kuwait Oil's flagship KwIDF project.

An introductory chapter sets out the essential technological and business underpinnings of the DOF and provides a brief outline of major industry initiatives, Shell's Smart Fields, BP's Field of the Future, Integrated Operations initiatives from ConocoPhillips and Statoil and I-Fields from Aramco and Chevron.

Other chapters cover instrumentation, data conditioning (but not data management - see below), analytics, workflow automation and smart wells. These are pitched at a very accessible level and should be useful for giving students and domain specialists a good (if uncritical) view of the big picture. Coverage includes a fairly extensive top-level treatment of AI and machine learning in predictive analysis of equipment failure.

The workflow automation chapter covers all bases but suffers from an issue that permeates IDOF. The authors share the Society of Petroleum Engineers' reluctance to name to a piece of software. This misguided avoidance of 'commerciality' is curious. Is all software 'commodity?' Can a book about the digital oilfield be written without mentioning the PI System?

The topic of data management is touched on in the introduction but poorly developed elsewhere in IDOF which may well reflect the state of the art! The introduction has it that in the early days, oils though that the DOF was 'simply IT or data management,' while 'it is so much more.' It is indeed, as Oil IT Journal has demonstrated since well before the DOF was dreamed-up. Shame you forgot to mention that guys! No hard feelings though, IDOF is a major undertaking and significant contribution to the DOF literature. A must-read for all practitioners." --Intelligent Digital Oil and Gas Fields by Neil McNaughton, Editor, Oil IT Journal
