Abstract:

Profitability of unconventional oil & gas wells is critically dependent on predictable well performance. The factory approach of drilling the same well across large acreage positions does not maximize profitability. Traditional data analysis and reservoir simulation are falling short with today’s complex and inter-related data. Digital transformation is bringing profound changes to these traditional well planning workflows and the use of Digital Twins is significantly improving well planning and production forecasting.

A Digital Twin is a software representation of an industrial machine – in this case, an oil or gas well. Realistic virtual representations of each well enable teams to explore many scenarios pre-drill, resulting in improved well profitability. AI and Machine Learning are core enabling technologies for upstream Digital Twins.

Several leading oil companies are using Digital Twins to improve well profitability throughout North America. A major operator realized significant improvement in workflow efficiency and asset performance in less than 6 months. You can also design better wells with higher IRR’s using insights beyond the reach of traditional methods. We’ll show you how.

 3 takeaways for attendees:
- What is a Digital Twin?
- Digital Twin best practices for upstream oil & gas
- How leading Oil and Gas companies are using Digital Twins to maximize profitability
