Corrosion in oil and gas tubing systems costs over $1 billion annually (source: NACE). Common types like pitting and crevice corrosion can be mitigated with proactive identification and appropriate solutions, preventing costly damage to fluid systems.
Cameron Devers, Tyler Abla, and Gage Russell, Taurex Drill Bits, USA, delve into the use of computer vision for PDC cutter damage classification, demonstrating how advanced image analysis is transforming the field.
Patrick Hayes, Tracerco, USA, presents two case studies demonstrating how tracer technologies are enabling optimised investments and de-risked development through the provision of accurate and actionable data for informed decision making.
Macy Ayala and Irwan Yunus, Champion X, discuss how, as the oil and gas industry continues to face increasing costs and sustainability requirements, new methodologies and technologies that support more efficient production are required. This is particularly true within the hydraulic fracturing (fracking) industry, which is continuing to grow globally.
