Leverage Industry 4.0 Technologies and New AI Capabilities to Drive Operational Excellence
June 17, 2019
Sponsored by: AspenTech
As the energy industry searches for ways to thrive amid volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous (VUCA) market conditions, many are turning to Industry 4.0 technologies and AI capabilities to gain a competitive edge. While we have long heard about the promises of autonomous operations and self-optimizing systems, they have only been partially realized in the past with closed-loop control and optimization. Now, the enabling technologies are real and accessible. Download this paper to learn how tomorrow’s leaders will create the smart enterprise of the future — and achieve operational excellence that is sustainable regardless of market conditions.
RECHARGE HNP™: Enhancing Hydrocarbon Recovery with a Next Generation Huff ‘N Puff Treatment that Combines Gas and Nanoparticles
March 22, 2019
Sponsored by: Messer
As wells age, production declines due to several factors. Messer and Nissan Chemical recently introduced a new Huff ‘N Puff process that combines gas and nanoparticles for synergistic recovery enhancement from declining wells. The RECHARGE HNP™ technology, suitable for both conventional and unconventional oil wells, has shown improvements of more than 500% in cumulative production. This white paper details the technology, treatment process, and production improvements in two central Texas, U.S., formations.
