TOTAL LIFECYCLE COST REDUCTION

KEYNOTE PANEL DISCUSSION

9.00am - 9.40am Sharing Best Practices to Optimise Chemical Management Cost from End-To-End in New & Ageing Assets

  • Debating how effective new chemicals are for lowering cost and increasing effectiveness.

  • Find out how operators are adopting digitalisation technologies to optimise efficiencies and bring down big costs.

  • Debating how the industry is tackling the rising price of chemicals when supply.

  • Discussing best practices to reduce costs in new and ageing assets, what future challenges do they see.

  • Discussion on how more concentrated, and active chemical can slash treatment costs significantly.

DIGITALISATING OILFIELD CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT

9:40am - 10:20am Best Practices on How to Start & Optimise Your Digital Chemical Management Program

Part I: Business Side of Digitalisation

  • Business case for digitalizing/automating parts of the chemical program.

  • Pros and cons of a phased digitalization program vs. full overhaul.

  • examples on how you can make the decision to practically automate chemical management.

Part II: Optimising Digital Chemical Injection & Monitoring

 

  • The correct process for accurately injecting chemicals to get results.

  • Learn how to check and manage accuracy of pumps.

  • Steps to avoid failure to follow-through to make sure automated injection works.

10.20am Networking Refreshment Break

10:50am - 11:20am Learn How to Structure, Make Sense of And Utilise Data to Optimise Efficiencies

  • Understand what data ‘good’ data and what operators are collecting for their benefit.

  • Find out how to practically consume, structure, utilise and make sense of data.

  • Learn how to use all the data that is being collected to create more sophisticated processes.

  • Innovative solutions that are enabling operators to ingest data quickly and in a centralised way to make it available in a structured, matrixed format.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

INTERACTIVE PANEL DISCUSSION

 

11:20am - 11:50am Hear Operator Plans to Achieve Environmental Sustainability Targets

E&P KPIs and metrics being used to track emissions:

  • From productions

  • From chemical supply

  • Other activities

  • How are operators managing the transition from old chemicals to new greener, more sustainable chemicals.

  • How operators plan to meet legislations when it comes to chemical discharge and chemical usage.

  • How do operators plan to adjust/improve relationships with suppliers to achieve sustainability goals.

11:50am - 12:20pm Hear Vendor Plans to Optimise and Commercialise Green Chemistry

  • What is the environmental footprints of various vendor activities.

  • Vendor plan for replacing hazardous chemicals.

  • Metrics/KPI for measuring and keeping emissions in check.

  • Map out the carbon footprints for chemical supply.

ASSET INTEGRITY, CORROSION MANAGEMENT & SCALE INHIBITION

12:20pm - 12.50pm Learn How to Protect Asset from Corrosion Damage and Extend Equipment Life

Part I: Asset Integrity

 

  • Understand the application of coatings and liners to protect equipment, tanks, treaters, vessels and piping that are exposed to water.

  • Understand the cost of doing nothing vs. the cost of doing something – does the cost of taking preventative measure outweigh failure costs?

 

Part II: Managing Corrosion

 

  • Find out if more corrosion has been depositing in recent times.

  • Understand what is causing corrosion and what type of corrosion inhibitor is good in different scenarios.

  • Understand temperatures that can tolerate different corrosion inhibitors.

  • Find out who are E&P’s recommended corrosion products’ suppliers.

12:50pm - Networking Lunch Break 

1:50pm - 2:20pm See a Comparison of Different Scale Inhibitors: Cost, Capabilities & How They Work

  • Cutting-edge developments in scale inhibitors – have we found the Holy Grail?

  • Comparing cost and capabilities to determine what delivers the best results in terms of eradicating scale.

  • Learn best practices on effectively injecting the right dosage of scale squeezers at the right time to proactively prevent issues.

H2S REMOVAL

2:20pm - 2:50pm Best Practices on How to Cope with and Remove Increasing Amounts of H2S

Part I: Coping with Higher H2S Levels​

  • Understand how much H2S is likely to be produced from wells that have been producing for a long time.

  • Managing high levels of H2S in fields that were not designed to be for sour production.

Part II: Removing Higher H2S Levels​

  • Non-triazine alternatives & multi-purpose chemicals to remove H2S from water.

  • Approaches how to apply products to the right location and the right time to get the best result.

  • Best practices on injection techniques to get the best efficiency out of chemicals without get into equipment.

2:50pm - 3:20pm Best Practices & New Technologies for Managing Treatment & Reinjection Issues
