The DEZ is a natural development of the Real Time theme from the 2003 show and will showcase how today’s oil industry workforce can operate and monitor fields remotely and also acquire and access data via sophisticated digital technology.
As the upstream industry moves towards the next generation oilfield, this technology enables executives and engineers to make better decisions in a shorter timeframe, therefore keeping budgets under tighter control.
The increasing use of Remote Operations technology is a growing global trend. Many operators in the North Sea, and also around the world, have gained valuable experience by producing from fields in mature basins – where the old saying that ‘necessity is the mother of invention’ really does ring true.
Maintaining production levels and extending tail-end field output constantly throws up new challenges and operators are always looking for new technology to keep fields commercially viable. The DEZ focuses on these needs and illustrates the technology on offer to companies that can both sustain production and enhance field life, making it a ‘must see’ attraction at OE 2005.
