SPEAKERS
1. Ahmed S. Amer, Global Technical Services Sr. Manager. Newpark
Presenting – “Digitizing Drilling Fluids; Opportunities & Challenges”
This presentation will present an overview of efforts around digitizing drilling fluids in comparison to the broader digitalization and automation effort of the drilling process.
· Focus on how fluids analytics can help in offset well analysis
· Identify and improve data quality and hence confidence level in data-driven decisions
· Integrate Public data for bench-marking
· Tie fluids data to engineering data models
· Review visualization needs
· Review of where the opportunities exist and what the challenges that need to be overcome.

3. Siva Rama Krishna Jandhyala, Technology Advisor – Engineering, Halliburton
Presenting – “Digital Approach to Designing Cement Thickening Time”
The goal of any cement job is to achieve zonal isolation by placing a cement barrier across critical formations. To achieve this, cement slurries must be tailored to remain pumpable throughout the placement process. Pumpability is quantified through thickening time (TT) test. A slurry design team iteratively adjusts the composition and additives to tailor the TT of the slurry for well specific temperatures and pressures. The process is primarily manual and relies on the experience of the design team in using the materials. This increases the number of iterations and thus the slurry design cost and time. Digital technologies can be used to analyze historic test data and assimilate the learnings into mathematical models. These models complement design team experience by predicting TT as a function of slurry composition and test conditions. Design teams can digitally evaluate multiple options and select the most suitable composition for further testing. This approach significantly reduces the slurry design risk, as well as reducing time and costs.
Mr. Jandhyala is an Advisor with Cementing Technology group at Halliburton Energy Services Inc. He has over 13 years of R&D experience. His area of work encompasses Cementing fluids design, Cement Job Design & Analysis, Near Wellbore Integrity Assessment, Cementing for CCS wells. His recent interests are in building data driven methods that reduce the risk, cost and time associated with cement job design, execution and evaluation.
