Following a successful pilot with Marathon Oil of its methane monitoring technology, Kuva Systems has deployed additional infrared cameras for real time leak detection. Kuva’s technology is also used at the Oilfield Technology Center (OTC) at Texas Tech to establish detection limits in preparation for new EPA rules expected later this year. The OTC is a 10 acres facility at Lubbock, TX, in the Permian Basin.
NetSpring, a provider of ‘metrics-first’ operational intelligence solutions has announced a collaboration agreement with DCP Midstream to develop advanced streaming analytics solutions from IoT operational data. These solutions will help energy companies drive operational excellence across field assets by uncovering new and untapped insights. The first use case is an operational assurance solution that detects critical operating issues and delivers real-time contextual mobile notifications to stakeholders, while initiating restoration workflows.
Williams Companies, a major US natural gas company has moved its finance and operations to the cloud with a deployment of Oracle Fusion cloud enterprise resource planning. The new solution ‘eliminated thirteen different applications that had been bolted on, improving data governance and visibility into financial metrics’.
Oil trader Trafigura is collaborating with Palantir Technologies on a supply chain carbon emissions platform. The solution involves a ‘consortium approach’ whereby participants across global energy and commodities supply chains will model lifecycle carbon intensities, enabling enhanced visibility and reporting. Palantir’s Foundry operating system will be configured to provide consortium partners with an calculation of carbon intensity across supply chains, beginning with crude oil and refined products, and concentrates and refined metals. The deal leverages prior work by Palantir and Trafigura, where a pilot built scenarios ‘across ten million carbon pathways’ using commodity shipments integrating Trafigura data and other metrics.
A recent report in the Financial Times reported Palantir’s ‘philosophical problems’, ‘Asked to set a date for profits, not only did executives at [Palantir] fail to answer the question during a first-quarter earnings call, but one began to talk about nuclear war’.
