The 2022.2 releases of ThermoFisher’s
Amira, Avizo and PerGeos packages include enhancements to analytical
workflows, AI-assisted segmentation of challenging datasets and
automated processing of very large (out-of-core) datasets. PerGeos
includes a new two-phase flow simulation function for visualizing the
flow of two immiscible fluids inside porous materials. The mesh
generation algorithm has been sped up twofold with support for multiple
CAE/CFD/FEA tool file formats. More from ThermoFisher.
Ikon Science RokDoc Version 2023.1 expands machine learning functionalities and adds new visualization tools. Additions to the Deep QI function library speed up the ML workflow with automated parameter optimization, feedback and confidence metrics to provides ‘a more realistic, data driven overview of the subsurface’. RokDoc 2023.1 incorporates several customer requests for improved workflows and expansion of 3D dataset viewing. Bayesian classification methods now aid in geological property categorization, establishing ‘tighter integration with 3D reservoir characterization workflows’.
Ikon has also enhanced its Curate cloud-native subsurface knowledge management system to support enterprise scale collaboration and cross-discipline workflows. In the well surveillance application, a real-time chat function allows for live exchange of ideas across teams as drilling progresses. The well viewer app now features file-linked, depth referenced images of core datasets, cuttings photos and SEM imagery.
OpenFlow Suite 2022.1 from Beicip-Franlab is now available. The release contains multiple corrections for OpenFlow, TemisFlow, CougarFlow and PumaFlow. TemisFlow 2022 introduces the ArcTem basin simulator and new Groovy scripts for geothermal studies. TemisFlow now leverages CougarFlow’s automatic calibration to well data.
Petrosys PRO V2023.1 introduces new cross section and fault statistics modules. X Sections creates a cross section from an existing Petrosys PRO map along with data from 3rd party vendors. Fault statistics adds fault plots, thematic mapping and more.
Release 2023.01 of Ceetron’s ResInsight
reservoir modeler improves summary and ensemble plotting. The window
management system has been improved and support has been added for
vertical and horizontal tiling and for Roxar’s ROFF file format. More
from the release notes.
Schlumberger has announced ProcessOps on Delfi, a cloud-based digital facility twin that uses artificial intelligence and automation along with data and physics-based models to ‘transform’ facilities workflows.
Teledyne FLIR has announced a new compact thermal camera for use in hot working zones. The ‘pocket-portable’ FLIR Cx5 enables condition monitoring of hazardous environments. A rugged ATEX-compliant case allows users to safely monitor electrical or mechanical assets in hot working zones. More from Teledyne Flir.
Honeywell’s Alarm
Performance Optimizer Release 1.1.0 adds a pattern analysis and
recommendation (PAR) module to the alarm performance optimizer, a
‘breakthrough’ analytics capability that provides recommendations for
resolving nuisance alarms. The PAR module collects and analyzes
historical alarm data to identify and recommend the correct alarm
ON/OFF delay parameters, reducing data wrangling and providing a
periodic review of recommendations that represent a ‘step towards an
autonomous alarm management system’. More from Honeywell.
Total Valve has announced LiftTrack 2.0, its new patented pressure safety valve lift event indicator that captures safety valve lift events. The device transmits lift events wirelessly and can also record acoustic outlet data or temperature associated with the events. Information can be viewed in the Total Valve App to see what time the lift event occurred and track how long the safety valve was open, helping mitigate the environmental release.
A new Gas Accounting module for Ensyte’s GASTAR gas management software couples tightly with client accounting systems to provide a ‘seamless flow’ of information from natural gas operations to accounting. The system provides auditable vendor invoice reconciliation and customer invoicing for off and on-system transactions.
Yokogawa’s KBC unit has
released Multiflash 7.3, the latest edition of its PVT
(pressure-volume-temperature) and physical properties package. The new
version leverages CAPE-OPEN’s COBIA interface to provide
interoperability with third party process simulators. More from COLAN.
Whip Around has launched a
new document management solution for fleet managers and drivers. The
Whip Around Wallet mitigates driver non-compliance and ensures that the
required paperwork is available for roadside check. Whip Around Wallet
is available on web and mobile. Documents are stored in the cloud and
tagged to let drivers access the documentation that they need while out
on the road. Wallet also records expiration dates, renewal
notifications and retention sunset reminders. More from Whip Around.
Halliburton has announced Envana, an emissions improvement engine that tracks a company’s carbon footprint with ‘verifiable E&P emission estimates’. Envana leverages a library of emissions sources built from Halliburton’s E&P expertise, adding a ‘verifiable system of record for emissions data’ and a ‘comprehensive visibility’ of scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions’.
