Connecting subsurface intelligence with surface operations

摘要

The digital twin makes operational collaboration a reality across E&P operations. The oilfield designation "exploration & production" (E&P) dates back to Spindletop. Historically, however, the strongest connection between the two very different worlds often has been the ampersand. Exploration teams invest millions of dollars to collect mega-volumes of data that characterize the subsurface. Once drilling begins, however, these data frequently sit idle, untapped by production teams despite the data's incredible value in reservoir imaging, interpretation, modeling and characterization. Today, help is on the way.
