Halliburton released LOGIX unit vitality, which monitors cementing equipment in real-time, prepares for upcoming jobs, and provides direct insight into equipment operation and performance.The system connects critical cement unit components to intelligent controllers and monitors more than 400 real-time parameters to ensure optimal performance. Data flows into a secure cloud, where machine learning models process […]

Halliburton launched its StreamStar wired drill pipe interface system, which delivers real-time, high-speed data and continuous downhole power.The StreamStar system minimizes the use of downhole generators and lithium batteries. This allows a shorter, more compact bottomhole assembly design that places sensors closer to the bit for improved measurements and reliability. It also provides instant two-way

Halliburton launched the Turing electro-hydraulic control system, the next generation of SmartWell intelligent completions technology. It is suitable for all completion applications, improves recovery and reduces well count.The Turing electro-hydraulic control system facilitates fast zonal optimization through integrated position sensors that help operators manage well performance with speed, precision and confidence. Its simplified, flexible design reduces

SLB introduced its OnWave autonomous logging platform that enables more efficient and reliable acquisition of formation evaluation measurements in any well condition.OnWave autonomously acquires multiple, high-fidelity measurements downhole, without the need of a wireline unit and wireline cable. The cable-free design takes less than half the time to deploy compared with conventional wireline platforms, while

Halliburton launched LOGIX automated geosteering to optimize geological interpretation and well placement. The service combines automation, machine learning and advanced geological insights to position the wellbore and maximize reservoir contact.The service updates and projects geological models to enable well trajectory optimization in real time. Advanced algorithms and machine learning technology help provide uniform, repeatable and

SLB launched Retina at-bit imaging, which enables early identification of formation characteristics to optimize drilling efficiency, formation evaluation and safety. Retina provides precise measurements at the point of first contact between the drill bit and the formation, providing image clarity in large hole sizes as drilling commences and the borehole diameter reduces progressively toward the

Halliburton launched its EarthStar 3DX horizontal look-ahead resistivity service, which provides operators with geological insights into horizontal wells up to 50 ft before penetration by the bit. The real-time data allows operators to identify hazards and make informed decisions.With its ultra-deep resistivity sensor, the EarthStar 3DX look-ahead service enables earlier formation detection. Unlike conventional mapping

SLB launched Electris, a portfolio of digitally enabled electric well completions technologies that boost production and recovery while reducing the total cost of ownership of an asset.Electris completions digitalize control of the entire productive area of the wellbore, providing real-time production intelligence across the reservoir. This enables operators to predict, adapt and act with confidence

At the 2024 SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technology Conference in The Woodlands, Texas, Oil States International showcased its newly released ACTIVELatch technology, which the company says is the industry’s first battery-operated wireless latch. The tool allows operators to make and break wireline connections to the well wirelessly via OilStates’ ACTIVEHub communication and control system without the

In order to drill the deeper and hotter wells often seen in geothermal and high-pressure, high-temperature oil and gas applications, drillers must properly manage temperatures at the bottomhole assembly (BHA). Not only will proper temperature management ensure the survival of downhole electronic tools, it can also help improve drilling performance, said Alex Vetsak, Well Construction

Expro has secured a contract with a major operator for the first deployment of its single shear and seal high-debris 15K ball valve assembly.The multifunctional single shear and seal mechanism will form part of a full subsea deepwater completion/intervention system being designed by Expro for a deepwater subsea field at about 6,600 ft (2,000 m)

Aberdeen-based Interventek has announced a deal to supply a complete set of fully qualified 20,000-psi open-water well intervention shear and seal valves to Trendsetter Engineering. The agreement allows Trendsetter exclusive global rights to deploy the 20K, 5 1/8-in. open-water valves for the next five years, with the first set to be delivered later this year
