Real-time data can be turned into wellsite answers: Predictive software allows operators to avoid drilling problems before they start

摘要

Data aggregation and alarm systems are important to reduce drilling risk and managing resources. The ability to monitor streaming data from multiple wells and present it in a variety of forms has proliferated with the growth of real-time centers and is changing the way the industry drills wells. However, increasingly complex wells and challenging economics, along with continued advances in technology, have many operators wondering if the mountain of data being collected cannot be put to better use.
