Unexpected disturbances and shutdowns can severely impact any manufacturing facility. The AspenTech APM 4.0 portfolio uses agents that can be replicated quickly and easily across all plant assets to assure production and avoid unnecessary maintenance. Learn how APM 4.0 delivers an all-inclusive approach to efficiency, productivity and safety to support operational excellence in plant operations and the bottom line for manufacturers.

In a rapidly evolving global market, energy and chemical companies are always looking for ways to squeeze the most margins out of operations—and meet planned targets. Innovations in planning and scheduling software are making that easier than ever.

This paper presents a method for maximizing fault information from depth migrated narrow-azimuth as well as full-azimuth seismic data. The study demonstrates that depth domain diffraction imaging can be used to generate higher resolution fault definition than conventional reflectivity volumes, or their derivative post-stack attributes.

The latest advancements in seismic processing and imaging, such as geostatistical interval velocity derivation and full-azimuth imaging, have improved many geologically complex and structurally deeper sediments.

High-quality subsurface images are critical for uncovering geological and geophysical aspects of the subsurface. Much vintage data was acquired in areas where no new surveys are available for a variety of reasons, so that reprocessing existing data may be the only option. The reprocessing results discussed in this paper have tremendously improved image quality and increased the interpreter’s confidence by resolving depth issues, fault positioning and reservoir connectivity.

Natural and induced fractures play a vital role in determining hydrocarbon producibility in basement exploration. An accurate understanding of fracture networks is critical for optimizing development in naturally fractured reservoirs, since the intensity and orientation of fractures significantly affect fluid flow in the reservoir rocks. Assorted techniques are available to characterize these fractures.

Utility providers are facing a period of intense change as the world makes its way through the energy transition. For those companies with the vision and determination to take advantage of the opportunity, DERMS software offers not just a solution to challenges, but a pathway to significant value for utilities.

Recently, over a nine-hour period, Spain's electrical grid accomplished something significant: renewable generation—including wind, solar and hydropower—exceeded the nation's total electricity demand. While still far from the 2050 net-zero target, Spain is on its way thanks to the Iberdrola Group, a global energy leader that is taking bold action to achieve a 100% renewable electricity system.
