The Power to Turn Data into Decision (Real Time Operation Drilling)

SiteCom® is a real-time data aggregation system designed to allow distributed teams to make important drilling and well construction decisions with the most up-to-date information possible.

This repository solution enables on-line archiving of real-time data and the information derived from it.  It is a system that enables rapid play-back for post well analysis and provides an invaluable resource when planning new wells even if the adjacent wells were drilled many years ago.

SiteCom® is a collaborative solution that enables all parties involved in the operation to see the same data at the same time at their desk or on the move.  With an open, independent solution, a set of common workflows supported by dashboards developed to display all key performance indicators for any given process can be developed to improve consistency for all company personnel.

SiteCom® is designed to ensure drilling optimisation based on the above building blocks and is designed to ensure that operators can meet their five key objectives when planning, drilling and delivering wells: Drill safely, quickly and cheaply, position the well accurately, and be consistent.  As a fully integrated real-time data solution that helps operators address these challenges, SiteCom® brings significant and immediate value.

EXEBENUS

Exebenus offers advanced digital solutions specifically designed for the oil and gas industry, providing significant enhancements in operational efficiency, safety, and cost reduction.

Exebenus Spotter leverages machine learning to tackle specific problems in drilling operations, such as optimizing the rate of penetration (ROP) and predicting stuck pipe conditions. Its philosophy of "one problem – one agent" ensures focused and efficient solutions. The Real-time ROP Optimization agent provides real-time drilling parameter recommendations to improve drilling performance, significantly increasing ROP and reducing drilling time. Meanwhile, the Stuck Pipe agents predict high-risk conditions in real-time, providing early warnings to prevent costly stuck pipe situations. Exebenus Spotter integrates seamlessly with existing systems, requiring no additional investment in data or infrastructure, and can be easily scaled and adapted to various well operations​. These solutions demonstrate Exebenus' commitment to operational excellence, safety, and cost efficiency in the oil and gas industry. By incorporating these tools, companies can achieve better performance, reduce operational risks, and enhance overall productivity.

SEKAL AS

Sekal AS offers cutting-edge digital solutions for the oil and gas industry, focusing on real-time drilling optimization and automation. Their flagship products are:

- DrillScene®: A real-time diagnostics tool that integrates data from multiple sources (mud logging, MWD/LWD, and surface sensors) to provide comprehensive monitoring and decision support. It helps identify drilling issues early, enhancing safety and efficiency. - DrillTronics®: An automation system designed to optimize drilling processes and prevent non-productive time (NPT). It uses advanced algorithms to control drilling parameters, reducing the risk of human error and improving operational consistency. - DrillExpect®: A predictive analytics platform that forecasts drilling problems such as stuck pipe, kicks, and losses. By analyzing historical and real-time data, DrillExpect® enables proactive measures, minimizing disruptions and ensuring smoother drilling operations.

Advanced Transient Multiphase Flow Simulator

LedaFlow® is the product of ten years of innovative development by SINTEF sponsored, guided and supported by TOTAL and ConocoPhillips, commercialised and developed further by KONGSBERG.  LedaFlow® is based on models that are closer to the actual physics of multiphase flow and provides a step change in detail, fidelity, quality, accuracy and flexibility over existing multiphase flow simulation technology.

LedaFlow® has been extensively validated against the best available and most comprehensive experimental data sets to ensure that the models are as representative as possible.  LedaFlow® is designed with an intuitive user interface to ensure that productivity is improved and with a comprehensive relational database to ensure that all cases are stored and readily available.

MODEL FEATURES

LedaFlow® is used in flow assurance calculations for wells and flowlines for:

• Liquid management
• Line sizing and route selection
• Thermal inhibitors and design
• Slug catcher sizing
• Contingency planning
• Hydrate, wax and corrosion monitoring

The LedaFlow® simulator offers an extensive package of functionality that does not require additional modules to complete standard studies. LedaFlow® provides the first commercially available solution to accurately predict hydrodynamic slug behaviour without user input.

A New and Powerful Dynamic Process Simulation Tool

Enhanced dynamic simulation tool enables more confidence in system and process design.

Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies has launched K-Spice, its next generation dynamic process simulation tool.  In addition to a wealth of sophisticated new and improved features for system management, thermodynamics, solvers and a flexible and intuitive graphical user interface, K-Spice combines the very best of the proven, class leading D-SPICE and ASSET lifecycle simulation solutions from KONGSBERG.

"Our extensive and unique experience has been channelled into K-Spice, allowing us to develop a powerful, flexible dynamic process simulation solution for the oil & gas market.  K-Spice offers a wide range of improvements including a modern, intuitive user interface, simplified data handling, enhanced calculations and increased robustness and performance," comments Eliot Clutten, Head of Product Development for the Simulation & Optimisation business unit at Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies.

K-Spice enables detailed dynamic simulation of oil and gas processes and control systems throughout the whole process lifecycle.  K-Spice is a Windows based tool with a flexible and intuitive graphical user interface and a wealth of advanced features.  K-Spice is designed for use across the core applications of: Project feasibility/concept selection, Pre-engineering/detailed engineering, Commissioning/production start-up, Operator Training and Online operations/maintenance support/process optimisation.  Within each application K-Spice offers a multitude of functionality based on high-fidelity simulation models that can be re-used at every stage of the project.

K-Spice forms the basis of a wide variety of solutions from KONGSBERG, including conceptual process studies, engineering verification, control system checkout, operator training and real-time production monitoring systems.  The range of applications is steadily growing in order to meet new trends in the industry – in particular for Integrated Operations (IO).
