Oilfield Tailgate with Waleed Nasir of Qult Technologies QULT.AI adding artificial intelligence to #energy and #oilgas Optimization of Plunger Lift Systems Over time, gas wells can experience a phenomenon known as liquid loading, where the accumulation of liquid becomes substantial enough to completely seal the tubing, leading to a cessation of gas production. If left unaddressed, this issue can permanently render the well unproductive. Plunger Lift, a form of artificial lift, utilizes gas pressure to remove the accumulated liquid from the well's bottom. Plunger Lift systems have gained widespread popularity due to their cost-effectiveness and efficiency. The typical operation of a Plunger Lift involves a continuous cycle that is repeated to lift the accumulated slug. Presently, plunger cycles are managed using trial-based trigger systems and manual inspections, resulting in suboptimal operation. Maximize Gas Production Minimize Equipment Damage and Downtime Next to Zero Emissions Reduce Labour Costs Our Monitoring Platform: Standalone, in the Cloud, or Embedded within Existing Metering and Monitoring Hardware! Leveraging IoT and Cutting Edge AI Frameworks for Smarter, Cleaner, and Efficient Gas Wells Benefits Maximize Gas Production Through the utilization of our AI trigger, we can accurately predict the impact of liquid loading on gas flow rate, resulting in optimized plunger cycles. Compared to standard trial-based triggers, our AI-trigger achieves a remarkable 20% increase in gas production. Minimize Equipment Damage and Downtime Equipment failure and damage often stem from the velocity of the traveling plunger. Swiftly moving plungers tend to cause more harm. With our AI trigger system, we effectively eliminate 90% of undesired velocity cycles, leading to an impressive 88% reduction in costs associated with plunger breakages and resulting downtimes. Nearly Eliminate Scope-1 Emissions Venting, which is typically employed to facilitate plunger arrival at the surface, contributes to Scope-1 emissions. However, our AI trigger system significantly diminishes the occurrence of slow velocity cycles, thereby minimizing the need for venting. As a result, Scope-1 emissions are drastically reduced by 98%. Decrease Labor Costs By implementing our automated monitoring and trigger system, labor costs can be reduced by up to 66%. Experience the benefits of streamlined operations and increased efficiency while optimizing your budget. Optimizing Plunger Life Plunger Lift systems are extensively utilized in gas wells due to their cost-effectiveness and similarity in lifting accumulated liquid slugs at the well's bottom. Various plunger types are available from different vendors. The selection of an appropriate plunger for a specific well depends on multiple factors, including internal well conditions, path geometry for the plunger's travel, gas amount and pressure, chemical conditions, and more. It is crucial to make an informed decision when choosing the plunger type and manufacturer for a particular well. Failing to do so can result in a significant increase in plunger breakages and a reduction in plunger lifespan, leading to revenue loss in the form of maintenance and downtime costs. Optimize plunger performance and minimize replacements with our Data & AI-driven solution. Our solution recommends the most suitable plunger type and manufacturer based on the specific conditions within the well. Benefits Assists in determining the most suitable plunger type for a specific well, reducing the risk of premature wear and frequent replacements. Identifies optimal conditions to maximize the lifespan of plungers. Our AI-powered solution leverages historical data from wells to predict when a plunger is approaching its breaking point, enabling timely replacement. #energy #artificialintelligence #oilgas #technology #science #progress #optimization

This week I chat with Trey, co owner of Oilfield Originals Apparel. We chat about his mindset behind his apparel.

In September 2023 permission was given to develop Rosebank, the UK's largest untapped oil field. Located west of Shetland, the UK government says it will provide energy security in the UK for a whole generation, at a time where we have never felt more insecure about the source of our energy and the cost. But will it? A feat of modern engineering, with the latest technology used to create it. Once operational, where is all this money, and oil, going to flow? And how does this fit into a commitment to transition from a dependency on fossil fuels to greener alternatives?  There's a lot at stake with this new oil field: jobs, investment, income, and oil, of course. There are so many questions about how oil and gas works in terms of its relationship to the UK, yet surprisingly few clear answers. This programme will help fill in the blanks.

Jacki is joined by Jeff Fisher, Blaze host of Chewing the Fat, to give a proper tribute to Toby Keith, Oklahoma-oil-field-derrick-hand turned country superstar, who lost his battle with stomach cancer. He's still "living in your radio." - - - - - Should the feds relocate all of America's nuclear waste to the middle of the country's most important oil and gas field? NO. WAY. Sanjay Narayan of the TX Radiation Advisory Board joins Jacki to discuss the scandal over endangering hundreds of thousands of lives and creating a target for terrorism in our most prolific oil field – the Permian Basin of west Texas. - - - - - Why would oil and gas executives start an advocacy group to push nuclear power? Doug Sandridge of Fulcrum Energy Capital Funds explains the “Declaration of Oil & Gas Executives in Support of Nuclear Energy” calling for a broad expansion of U.S. nuclear energy, including small modular reactors and micro-reactors that companies could use to go off-grid. Sandridge expresses concern about the uranium supply chain and labor force.

Steve Thomas is the General Manager at Belmont Park in San Diego, CA.  Steve's background includes working in oil fields in West Texas and Eastern New Mexico until he decided to move back to his hometown of San Diego in 2017.  At that time, Belmont Park had recently been acquired by a real estate developer who had a new vision for the park, which was falling into disrepair.  After identifying the challenges needed to make necessary improvements, he took on the role of Maintenance Manager and immediately implemented enhancements.  Not long after, he approached the park's ownership with the interest of becoming General Manager.  Since becoming GM in 2018, Steve's main focus has been on unification, which included acquiring all of the concessions operators on the property and bringing them all under one roof.  In this interview, Steve talks about lessons from the oil field, guest centricity, and no paper signs.   Lessons from the oil field "Don't be bitter about spending a little more time in a role. Have patience." Steve became a Floorhand for a drilling company after finding them at a recruiting event and learned the job from the lowest position in the ranks.  After being passed up for a promotion to Driller a year later, Steve was initially disappointed, but he took the next seven to eight months to fully prepare himself for the role.  When he got it, his proficiency was even higher than those who had been drilling for years.  Steve stresses that patience pays off when it comes to growing in your career. As a Driller, Steve says he gained valuable leadership lessons that translated into his role today at Belmont Park.  When he was promoted to Driller, he found that he was doing the majority of the work because he could get it done better and quicker than anyone else, until he realized that this was the wrong approach.  Instead, when he began learning more about what his team member's best skill sets were, coaching, and operating as a team, their productivity went up substantially. Guest centricity "Everything that we do is with the guest in mind." Because of the number of businesses that operated at Belmont Park, Steve said that walking into the park felt more like walking into a strip mall than an amusement park.  When your ticket allows you certain attractions but not others, employees are wearing different uniforms, and information is difficult to find, it creates a confusing experience that Steve described as fragmented and broken.  By working to acquire all of the concessionaires, not only was it a good business decision, it made for a much smoother guest experience. When describing his guest experience philosophy, Steve says that his focus is to ask, “What is that extra thing?” at every touchpoint in the park.  From purchasing tickets to dining in the restaurants, Steve describes the concept of guest centricity of exceeding expectations and that everything that the park does is with the guest in mind. No paper signs "There's a lack of care for the guest when there's a crooked paper sign taped to a window." When comparing Belmont Park to Disneyland, Steve stresses that they can't compete on the size of the park or the number of rides, but they can compete on guest experience.  And part of the guest experience strategy is that there are no paper signs in the parks due to the lack of care that it shows to the guest. The standard of no paper signs is literal, but also represents the overarching standard.  To be considered world-class, you can't have paper signs taped to a window.  This same standard extends into never walking past a piece of trash without picking it up, which helps to align Belmont Park's definition of world-class.   Having opened in 1925, Belmont Park will be celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2025.  While the plans are still coming together at the time of this interview, Steve is excited to be a part of the centennial celebration and is excited to rally the team and acknowledge this historic milestone. To learn more about Belmont Park, visit the park's website and follow the park on Instagram.  To connect with Steve directly, he can be reached at steve@belmontpark.com.

#213: Did you know that here in Los Angeles we've got the largest urban oil field in the U.S.?

In the wake of the USSR breaking up, Kazakhstan was wrestling with the challenges of independence; hyperinflation, the economy collapsing and food shortages. But three-and-a-half kilometres underground on the north-east shore of the Caspian Sea, a giant financial opportunity was lying dormant – The Tengiz Oil Field. Less than two years after gaining sovereignty, the government signed the “deal of the century”. The state partnered with American company Chevron and started drilling to access the estimated 25 billion barrels of oil in the ground. Tengiz is the sixth largest oilfield in the world, and its resources would change Kazakhstan from a fledgling state, to one of the largest oil producers in the world. Johnny I'Anson speaks to Bruce Pannier, a news correspondent in Central Asia for over 30 years, who saw first-hand the chaos of independence and the growth of wealth in the country.
