  • From Manual Rounds to Real-Time Insight: How Non-Intrusive Monitoring Is Reshaping Integrity Management on FPSO Vessels

    Jim Cahill
    Many floating production vessels now operating off Africa and elsewhere were converted or built decades ago and are approaching or exceeding their original design lives. The monitoring equipment installed during that era is equally dated, leaving integrity teams dependent on manual ultrasonic inspections, retrievable corrosion coupons, and intrusive probes.

    The Micro Motion Coriolis Oil & Gas Metering Recommended Practices for Upstream Allocation whitepaper describes best practices for the selection and installation of these meters—both sensors and transmitters—based on performance level requirements and costs.

  • Increasing Accuracy in Multiphase Flow Measurement

    Jim Cahill
    The Roxar Rapid Adaptive Measurement technology enables multiple calculations to be performed concurrently to yield the best measurement results for the oil, gas, and water in the produced fluids.

  • Mitigating Risks with Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detection

    Jim Cahill
    One leak detection technology, ultrasonic noise detection, can provide constant monitoring across a wide area as it “listens” for the release of pressurized gas. The Rosemount Incus Ultrasonic Gas Leak Detector enables rapid detection of leaks.

  • Reduce Offshore Production Expenses

    Jim Cahill
    Read this case study based on an offshore oil & gas producer who gained efficiencies and increased reserves through their digital transformation with the DeltaV SaaS SCADA application.

  • Accuracy and Consistency in Multiphase Flow Measurement

    Jim Cahill
    Multiphase flow meters measure the individual flow rates of oil, gas, and water flowing from oil & gas production wells. Expro’s Ali Abuikhzam shares background on their collaborative work with Emerson.

  • Three Examples of Cloud-Native IIoT to Prevent Downtime

    Jim Cahill
    IIoT can actually help make our lives better in several ways; like increasing the safety of many very dangerous situations, how it can even prevent terrible problems before they even happen, and how it can make companies be more profitable so more people keep their jobs and prices don't over-inflate for the end buyers.

  • Digital Technologies Support Safe Remote Operation of Offshore Platforms

    Jim Cahill
    The ability to remotely operate offshore oil and gas platforms enables companies to minimize the number of people required on board the platform. Because less accommodation is then required, the weight of the platform can be reduced, leading to cost savings, while transporting fewer people offshore increases safety, by keeping more workers away from potential hazards, and also reduces operating costs.

  • Zero Emission Well Pad of the Future

    Jim Cahill
    Ben Fletcher, Manager of Oil & Gas Industries at Fisher Control Valves, recently published an article in the October 2022 issue of World Oil. It is titled “Achieving the Zero Emission Well Pad of the Future” and it discusses the latest round of EPA regulations, and automation solutions which can be deployed to address them. The article is summarized below.
