Microsoft has announced the Azure Data Manager for Energy, a ‘secure, hyperscale, fully managed cloud-based data platform for the energy industry’. ADM4E comprises an OSDU data platform running in the Azure cloud, leveraging SLB’s ‘extensive domain expertise’. The ‘PaaS’ (Platform as a Service) offering is managed by Microsoft and provides upgrades to the latest OSDU milestone versions after testing and validation. The solution provides security and data encryption with access control provided by Azure Active Directory. The service claims ‘out-of-the-box’ compatibility with industry-leading applications from SLB, including Petrel. Microsoft is now piloting integration with SharePoint for data ingestion, Synapse for data transformation and Power BI for data visualization. Early adopters include Aker BP and TotalEnergies.
Trevor Seaton, blogging on the Esri website offers some advice on new Kubernetes options for deploying ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1. To evaluate the Kubernetes option, Esri has a page for ‘Determine whether Kubernetes is right for you’. Also of note is a new ArcGIS Image Service on Kubernetes.
Aggreko’s new Emissions Calculator allows users to see real-world percentage reductions in emissions and fuel consumption that can be made by switching Aggreko’s Greener Upgrade power generation option. The calculator uses information based on the energy demands of multiple sites to determine potential reduction of carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, particulate matter and fuel consumption.
Teledyne Gas and Flame Detection is unveiling its GD1 laser-based gas detector with ‘full SIL2 3rd party approval’. The GD1 SIL2 is ‘the market’s first open-path gas detector for hydrogen sulfide safety-related applications’.
Emerson’s AMS Device Manager Data Server allows users to replicate intelligent field device data outside the process control network, making it accessible from both Emerson and third-party destinations like plant historians, control systems, data lakes, visualization and dashboard applications.
Endress+Hauser’s new generation of Micropilot 80 GHz radar sensors provides solutions across all industries and applications. The sensors are suited for challenges when measuring points aren’t easily accessible, located in dusty areas and harsh environments with extreme process temperatures and process conditions. The new sensors come equipped with wizards for various HMI environments. Digital communication protocols include HART, Profibus and Ethernet/APL.
Hexagon has launched its Reality Cloud Studio (RCS), ‘powered by HxDR’, Hexagon’s digital reality platform. RCS includes geospatial data services, collaboration tools and automated data processing. The hosted tool includes an API gateway for custom app creation. The solution is said to ‘mark a significant advancement in Hexagon’s platform approach to building a central source for digital reality data’.
Honeywell has announced several new product offerings in its Honeywell Forge (HF) range. HF Performance+ unifies OT and IT data in a single real-time operational monitoring application. HF Sustainability+ provides emissions management. Other novelties include a process digital twin and a connected workforce competency management tool. More from Honeywell.
The 2023.3 release of Ikon Science’s RokDoc includes ‘state-of-the-art’ 4D inversion. The time-lapse Ji-Fi app provides 4D fluid tracking capabilities for production and injection scenarios including carbon capture utilization and storage. Additional sand, shale and carbonate rock physics models that capture compaction and clay evolution have been added to the RokDoc and rock physics modelling libraries. Also new is a fractured-carbonate rock physics model that streamlines data sharing and integration with geomechanics workflows. Deep QI machine learning and rock physics functions automation now includes an XGBoost option, combined with grid search for parameter tuning. More from Ikon Science.
Geovariances has released Isatis.py, a Python package for geostatistics that exposes the same algorithms as in its flagship Isatis.neo package. The library also allows loading and writing data to the Isatis.neo database. Isatis.py is parallelized and multithreaded and is said to manage models with millions of cells.
The 2023.06 of Ceetron’s open source and free ResInsight fluid flow modeler is ready for download. The new tool has a 3D seismic data display functionality, new summary and producer-injector connectivity tables and more. Read the release notes here.
French startup Bystamp has come up with an intriguing piece of hardware – a ‘digital’ rubber stamp called Keymo. Touching an onscreen PDF document with the device adds a secure electronic signature. The stamp uses patented optical and Bluetooth pairing and authentication technology. Coupled with the request of a confidential PIN code, it allows a strong authentication before launching the electronic signature procedure. (No we don’t understand how it works either!) More from Bystamp.
Zededa’s new Edge computing solution promises ‘efficient and sustainable oil and gas operations’. Moving the massive amounts of wellsite data to the cloud for processing is impractical. The solution is to processing data ‘at the edge’ i.e. onsite. Zededa’s hardware and LF Edge-based software is said to ‘make edge computing effortless, open, and intrinsically secure, extending the cloud experience and agility to the edge. More in the product data sheet.
