Emergence of Data Science, Reduction of Carbon Footprint, and the Value of Interventions in Increasingly Constrained Drilling Market

Wednesday, 22 March
Waterway 4
Technical Session

Historical and new means of gathering subsurface and equipment data can be used to improve well interventions, from candidate selection through operational execution and post-job analysis. This session examines how data science is applied to transform data into value to help organizations answer the call for capital discipline while enhancing value in the industry and identifying solutions to manage carbon footprint.
