Introduction In remote upstream oil and gas facilities, such as well pads, energy companies frequently have various service contractors bringing in items, performing services, and removing items from the site. These facilities most often do not have permanent staff on location. It can be challenging for operators to know who is accessing the facilities. For […]

Overview Oil and gas operators are looking to eliminate inefficiencies in their production operations and field services by using innovative and cost-effective technology. For example, in the oil and gas field operations, typically most operators run a fixed route every day without being able to prioritize high-volume wells or issues that need fixing due to […]

Introduction Turbine maintenance is an expensive, high-risk task. According to a recent analysis from the news website, wind farm owners are expected to spend more than $40 billion on operations and maintenance over a decade. Another recent study finds by using drone-based inspection instead of traditional rope-based inspection, you can reduce the operational costs by 70% […]

Overview The rationale for bringing new digital technologies into any organization includes increased productivity and better, faster decision making. Ultimately, we are all looking to improve organizational efficiency, and digital transformation holds great promise in this regard. However, the adoption of new ways of working is often a challenge.

Quick, seamless access to seismic and interpretation data from various software applications is a key component of all integrated seismic workflows for every exploration team at all oil and […]

Introduction Keeping wind turbines operational also means keeping them well maintained. One of the steps in maintenance is regular visual inspection. Wind farm operation and maintenance companies started to utilize drones with attached cameras to perform visual inspections. According to a recent study, drone-based inspection reduces costs by up to 70% and decreases revenue lost […]

Historians have traced our practice of using the wind to power machines all the way back to first-century Alexandria. Since then, windmills have been helping people all over the world to get work done—from grinding corn and flour to pumping water. And we’ve been using wind turbines for generating electricity for over 130 years. Just […]
