Subscribe to the E&P newsletter here To avoid costly mistakes at the well site and facility operators are looking for well testing advantages to help them get ahead of challenges—both the ones they anticipate and the ones they don’t—that will slow down production “Today every barrel counts,” said Bertrand Theuveny domain head of testing services at Schlumberger “It’s very important to limit the impairments on the pads or in the midstream facilities.” Theuveny is part of a team developing technology to solve these challenges within an agile timeframe leading to less downtime and more productivity Schlumberger's product manager of production and surface well testing to discuss equipment solutions to solve the challenges surrounding increasing hydrocarbon production while reducing carbon and methane emissions during the recent SPE Live webinar “Rapid Production Response Solutions with Surface Well Testing Equipment." Challenges in the production facilities can include the preconditioning of fluids complex flowback and managing unexpected fluids which can lead to lost barrels and therefore wasted time and money the industry response to such challenges doesn’t always move as quickly as producers need or want the amount of challenges is different and very often they can come planned or unplanned but the response is not very fast in production playground because historically the mind is set up such a way that it is targeting the EPC [engineering procurement construction] type of approach,” Zhandin said Zhandin and Theuveny explained how Schlumberger’s Production ExPRESS can help solve temporary production issues such as express early production facility and pipeline or facility commissioning and maintenance safe approach and variability of solutions” to offset production challenges in a timely matter with not a preset mindset on the solution,” Theuveny said “So be open to look at alternatives to go around the problem whether it is to eliminate flaring sometimes or it is to just boost production There can be very innovative solutions built with existing assets.” The agility with which the challenges are able to be addressed in addition to improved engineering capabilities allows the Production ExPRESS to be a more cost-effective tool The central engineering team ensures that downtime is kept to a minimum the Production ExPRESS differentiator is engineering capabilities,” Zhandin said “And not only do we deploy the special design people but we also have a central engineering team Get the latest updates every Tuesday on exploration This conversation is moderated according to Hart Energy community rules.

and Portugal battling to join the likes of fellow continental heavyweights holders Spain and Germany in Brazil have the toughest play-off as they face Sweden who have their own icon in Zlatan Ibrahimovic leading their line The other two play-offs pit goal-shy Greece against Romania while the fairytale could be provided by Iceland bidding to become the smallest country to ever qualify for the finals who guided the side to last year’s Euro semi-finals “Our level of ambition wouldn’t change expectations are really high about us getting there because it’s being played in Brazil and because they’re Portuguese speakers “When we set out our long-term objectives Many neutrals are disappointed that one of Ronaldo or Ibrahimovic will miss out on Brazil but the PSG striker says his team deserve their place in the hat when the World Cup finals draw takes place on December 6 at Mata de Sao Joao “We have had tough matches during qualification but this has only stimulated us,” said Ibrahimoivic “Portugal are probably favourites given their team and their individuals but we came second in a group featuring Germany and we deserve to go to Brazil more,” added the Sweden skipper Ukraine will host a France side in danger of missing out on its first World Cup finals since 1994 and keen also to erase memories of their catastrophic appearance at the 2010 edition both on and off the pitch where the players ended up refusing to train France coach Didier Deschamps – who in 1998 became the first French captain to lift the World Cup trophy as they beat Brazil in Paris – said his players were in the right frame of mind to overcome Ukraine “It’s played on the pitch but it’s the head that manages the legs,” said the former Juventus and Monaco coach “We’re in a state of mind of ‘challenge’ Ukraine coach Mikhail Fomenko has guided the team on a six game unbeaten run since taking over in December 2012 and says his team are extremely motivated for the challenge at hand “France are very experienced and dangerous opponents but we’re not afraid of the upcoming matches,” Fomenko told AFP “I think all of my players perfectly understand what we shall accomplish in the play-off encounters with France.” Romania are bidding to qualify for the first time since 1998 as they travel to Greece who scored just 12 goals in 10 group games in what could well be a finely balanced duel Iceland’s surprising run to the play-offs has been due in large part to the calming and knowledgeable influence of experienced Swedish coach Lars Lagerback who coached the Swedes at two World Cup finals who also coached Sweden at three European championship finals “Of course it would be a huge disappointment if we didn’t get to Brazil now that we are so close but we are in a win-win situation,” he said “There weren’t many outside Iceland and in Iceland who expected us to get this far even though the expectations have grown the further we have got in qualifying.” – Nampa-AFP
