Tendeka Secures $30M in New Contracts
work with operators for its swellable packers and sand and inflow control technologies across key energy hubs, including the North Sea, Australasia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)," Tendeka said Wednesday.Tendeka also said it was delivering its first significant FloSure autonomous inflow control devices (AICDs) campaign in the United States, following a successful trial earlier this year.To support the inflow control of wells, Tendeka has said it has installed more than 50,000 FloSure AICDs around the world. According to the company, the field-adjustable FloSure AICDs preferentially chokes
MTR100: InterOcean Systems Inc.

sectors of the North Sea. Direct Network CaTS transmits high-quality pressure and temperature information from reservoir to seabed using the well’s tubing, casing or liner as transmission medium. Signals also transmit from seabed to reservoir for the control of downhole hardware like flow control devices. Under favorable well conditions, this wireless technology has achieved point-to-point transmission ranges in excess of 12,500 feet without relay or booster stations in the well. By cutting the number of in-well equipment, deployment time and monitoring costs are lower. Using standard

development, competency assurance, project commissioning support, new hire orientation, and more efficient turnaround/shutdown planning. A full-scale simulator of an actual gas processing facility in Qatar has been operational since 2013, providing realistic training on more than 300 interactive control devices in six gas processing units. “The Immersive 3D Operator Training Simulator provides a realistic 3D virtual environment that is a very close replica of an operating plant,” said Sara Ortwein, president of ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company. “These simulators are highly
Schlumberger Debuts Single Intervention Tool
in more than six interventions in challenging onshore and offshore intervention conditions, including the Middle East and the North Sea. In the Middle East, a customer needed to identify and remediate multiple plugged inflow control devices (ICDs) in two wells. Using distributed temperature sensing analysis to discover problematic ICDs, a single ACTive Straddle inflatable packer run was performed to restore flow. In one well, production increased by 150% from 480 bbl/d to 1,200 bbl/d. Production from the second well increased 171%&mdash
WFS, Fugro Offer Wireless ROV Integration
past to deliver Seatooth® Video deepwater systems to Fugro for the Moho Nord project in Congo, the companies agreed to enter a partnership which will benefit Fugro’s customers, delivering enhanced ROV solutions for subsea projects. With WFS supplying more than 7,000 communication and control devices to date, subsea wireless has come of age. This agreement means that Fugro ROVs can communicate with all Seatooth® enabled subsea devices, such as WiPS (wireless pressure sensor), Pipelogger (wireless pipeline integrity monitoring platform) and Video (wireless video camera) wherever
New Dynamic Positioning System from GE
be able to focus on his real job, controlling the ship, and not be distracted by the task of manipulating and controlling a complex computer system.” GE Power Conversion has achieved this with a new human-machine interface (HMI). The control panel is very clean and uncluttered with very few control devices. Its 26-inch touchscreen is tiltable to suit each operator’s preference for standing or sitting in front of the screen, or moving around it. It accommodates operators of different heights and is equally visible in a whole range of lighting conditions on the bridge, especially reflections
