To make better reservoir management decisions, workflows covering the entire geosciences and reservoir engineering domains are customarily used. Facies modeling is an important part of these workflows, as it defines the main flow pattern in the reservoir and represents a geological understanding of the depositional environment.

With assets installed in remote locations, OCP Ecuador needed a maintenance solution that would enable them to predict and prevent equipment failures before they occurred. Using prescriptive maintenance, the company can now continuously monitor its critical assets for impending failure. In video, learn how OCP Ecuador reduced maintenance costs by 25% per year and increased engine overhaul from 16000 to 19200 hours, a 20% improvement in uptime.

Despite evolving regulations, political uncertainties, shifting energy priorities and financial market challenges, the push for energy transition is strong.

Advanced Process Control (APC) and optimization technologies have long been used to support downstream operations for oil & gas, petrochemical and chemical companies. Early adopters also deployed these solutions to their upstream assets with positive results.

Full azimuth angle domain imaging provides an alternate way to map events in structurally complex areas. Information about continuous surfaces can be derived from specular gathers, while diffraction gathers are used to derive information about discontinuity i.e., faults and small-scale fractures.

For chemical manufacturers, responding with agility to inevitable daily supply and demand disruptions is vital to reach planning and scheduling goals.

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.
