ICoTA Tech Nights are popular evening events where you can gain insights from real field operations, network, and free to attend for members.
Some of the industry's biggest efficiency gains come from seeing and acting on what conventional methods miss. Join us for two sessions showing how technology is delivering a step change in well intervention performance across Norway.
What you’ll learn:
First, hear two real North Sea case studies where we will explore how fiber optic monitoring identified a glass plug breakage failure that gauges couldn’t detect and confirmed the breakage, as well as how it detecting gas lift valve chattering. Learn how “listening” downhole is opening a new, reliable window into events that have long been difficult to see
Then, hear a first-hand account of a recent Slick-Eline operation on Gullfaks, the challenges faced, the lessons learned, and what it reveals about the opportunity to reduce risk and operational cost while working toward a 50%+ increase in Norway intervention activity.
Together, these sessions show how "listening" downhole and rethinking intervention methods are reshaping what's possible - safely, efficiently, and at scale.
