well site automation for unconventional oil & gas 2015
DESCRIPTION
THE FIRST OPERATOR LED EVENT ON OPTIMIZING WELL SITE AUTOMATION & REMOTE MONITORING FOR TIGHT OIL & SHALE GAS WELLS Well site automation offers onshore unconventional oil & gas operators the opportunity to increase revenue by tens of millions of dollars through enhancing production optimization, reducing downtime and improving manpower efficiency and safety. However, to do this, operators need to be able to select and optimize the right technology including SCADA systems, RTUs, PLCs, remote communications and flow meters and understand how to use data collected in a way that will deliver the reliability, accuracy and functionality required for their operations. Stakeholders have long requested an operator-led forum in which to learn each other operators' successful processes and honest feedback on the ease of use and reliability of equipment. Welcome To The First Operator-Led Congress To Focus On Analyzing Automation Strategies Specific To Unconventional Oil & Gas Wells The inaugural Well Site Automation For Unconventional Oil & Gas 2015 congress will deliver 20+ operator case studies on providing solutions to the specific challenges of well site automation and remote monitoring for unconventional oil & gas wells. Speakers at the event will explain how to apply advances in SCADA systems, remote communications, flow measurement, safety shut down systems, alarm management, automated artificial lift & flow control to create a well site automation strategy that optimizes the productivity, safety & cost-effectiveness of unconventional oil & gas wells.TRANSCRIPT

WHY IS THIS EVENT UNIQUE?• 100% FOCUSED ON ONSHORE UNCONVENTIONAL OIL & GAS APPLICATIONS
FOR WELL SITE AUTOMATION: Whilst there has been a major focus on applying well site automation to offshore wells, this is the first event entirely dedicated to well site automation for onshore unconventional oil & gas wells. For the first time, operators working in tight oil and shale gas plays will discover well site automation solutions specific to the type of projects they are working on from their peers in the industry
• 100% WELL SITE AUTOMATION FOCUS: There have been many general events on “Digital Oilfields” covering everything from data management to drilling automation to well site automation, but this is the only event to focus 100% just on well site automation. This will ensure that attendees are receiving the information specific to their job function for the full 2 days of the event
• OPERATOR LED: The industry is saturated with vendors but producers require unbiased feedback on the accuracy and functionality of automation equipment. This event will provide operator led analysis on what equipment can actually do and which is worth investing in. It is the only event based on actual operator experiences with using well site automation technology rather than sales pitches from vendors
• IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS OF EVERY SPECIFIC TECHNOLOGY: The operators who designed the agenda for this event said that their key focus is to walk away with a knowledge of new technologies that they can actually use in their well site automation strategy for their unconventional wells. Therefore, this event has a unique structure where every single technology is being given a spotlight session – including separate sessions on overall SCADA systems, on RTUs, on PLCs, on remote communications technologies, on gas measurement, fluid measurement and tank measurement, on artificial lift automation, on automated shutdown systems and alarm management

DECISION MAKING AUDIENCE
E&P attendees are primarily decision makers looking to learn from other
operators. Every conversation is valuable and there is no searching through
endless crowds in search of the next customer
EXCLUSIVE NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES
We work with dozens of operators across the US to identify the agenda topics
and vendor categories they need to hear from. We allocate stalls and speaking
time only when suppliers can offer solutions the audience is looking for, so you
know your next customer is in the room
SHARE YOUR SUCCESS
As an operator-led congress, speakers will be delivering unbiased reviews
of equipment currently installed across their well sites – good or bad. If the
feedback is good, solution providers need to be in the room to capitalise upon
the moment and make the next sell. If the feedback is poor, suppliers must be
ready to update the audience on their latest work to improve the reliability of
their devices and reassert confidence in their solutions
If you have a successful case study to share with operators, get in touch to
apply for information on speaking opportunities and stall allocations:
