Intelligent Digital Oil and Gas Fields
Intelligent Digital Oil and Gas Fields: Concepts, Collaboration, and Right-time Decisions delivers to the reader a roadmap through the fast-paced changes in the digital oil field landscape of technology in the form of new sensors, well mechanics such as downhole valves, data analytics and models for dealing with a barrage of data, and changes in the way professionals collaborate on decisions. The book introduces the new age of digital oil and gas technology and process components and provides a backdrop to the value and experience industry has achieved from these in the last few years.
The book then takes the reader on a journey first at a well level through instrumentation and measurement for real-time data acquisition, and then provides practical information on analytics on the real-time data. Artificial intelligence techniques provide insights from the data. The road then travels to the “integrated asset” by detailing how companies utilize Integrated Asset Models to manage assets (reservoirs) within DOF context. From model to practice, new ways to operate smart wells enable optimizing the asset.
Intelligent Digital Oil and Gas Fields is packed with examples and lessons learned from various case studies and provides extensive references for further reading and a final chapter on the “next generation digital oil field,” e.g., cloud computing, big data analytics and advances in nanotechnology. This book is a reference that can help managers, engineers, operations, and IT experts understand specifics on how to filter data to create useful information, address analytics, and link workflows across the production value chain enabling teams to make better decisions with a higher degree of certainty and reduced risk.
You can watch this short video where the authors introduce and talk about the ideas behind the book.

The discovery and production of fossil fuels is as vital a topic as ever, driven by increasing energy demands and guided by swiftly advancing technology. Exploration continues for new sources of oil and natural gas, as well as unconventional sources such as oil shale and tar sands. Energy industry professionals need fundamental knowledge of topics such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), pipeline engineering, transmission and processing, enhanced oil recovery, reservoir management, and deep water exploration, as well as accurate, up-to-date modeling, data, and analysis.
Elsevier provides both foundational and cutting-edge geoscience, engineering, and business information to researchers and professionals in the field in varied ways: in its industry-leading journals, via online tools such as Geofacets, and through books and eBooks published under respected imprints such as Gulf Professional Publishing.
