Gustavo CarvajalIntelligent Digital Oil and Gas Fields: Concepts, Collaboration, and Right-Time Decisions

I have been working in Digital Oil field the last ten years. I can say that "Intelligent Digital Oil and Gas Fields, Collaboration and right time decisions" is a compend of all the necessary points to conceptualize, design and implement a digital oil field.Critical points as instrumentation selection, integrated asset model and artificial intelligence components are explained in a straightforward and structured way and without losing the necessary details.The chapter about intelligence completions was one of my favorites. It can be used to apply the ideas in the day a day job for production and reservoir engineers.I would recommend this book for any professional who is initiating his career in digital oil fields and the experienced one who wants to be proficient in this area.

This is an Excellent Book!!!, it is one of the few books in the market that shows how smart workflows and digital transformation can be applied to the oil and gas industry, with special emphasis on production engineering, reservoir management, and integrated asset management. I fully believe this book needs to be a reference for any production or reservoir engineer willing the embrace the digital transformation and workflow automation into the oil and gas industry.

I have been working for over 30 years in automation, control and real time information systems for the Oil and Gas (O&G) Industry. I have lived the slow adoption and evolution of Digital Optimization initiatives in such a conservative industry as O&G. Carvajal et al have been designing and deploying advanced digital acquisition, control and optimization systems, for many years, in most of the highest ranked Digital Oilfield solution for major O&G Corporations.This book is the compendium of all that valuable experience and knowledge. It covers all the concepts and tiers of a Digital Oil Field (DOF), all the way from bare instruments to the most sophisticated production optimization workflows.The Intelligent Digital Oil and Gas Fields book is a clear guide to understand the components, features, opportunities and challenges behind the adoption and implementation of a Digitalization strategy for the Oil and Gas Industry.

This well-structured and well-written book is divided into 9 chapters addressing the fundamentals and the state of the art of the three main components of DOF (Digital Oil Fields) systems: people, technology and processes.The ninth chapter is devoted to the Future of DOF. It clearly describes how film sensors, big data, next generation of analytics, automation and remote operations, etc. will allow the realization of DOF competitive advantage and value.On essence, a comprehensive description of a major Oil & Gas industry transformation is provided. Therefore, this book merits an outstanding place in your shelve and even better, in your digital library.

A must read for all professionals that work in oil & gas production management. This book is one of the most comprehensive analysis about the impact of the Digital oil Field and the digitalization in the oil & gas industry. The authors cover all the technological and process components required for the implementation of DOF and present a multitude of real cases to exemplify the benefits of this kind of programs. Also, the authors make and analysis on the level of implementation of DOF in the industry and the challenges for reach a wider adoption.
