Data Gumbo opens office in Saudi, signs contract with Equinor
Data Gumbo recently launched an office
in Khobar, Saudi Arabia, aiming to acceler-
ate regional traction with leading indus-
trial enterprises.

In August 2021, Data Gumbo closed $7.7
million in Series B funding with continued
participation from Saudi Aramco Energy
Ventures, the corporate venture capital
fund of Aramco Ventures. The funding
has allowed Data Gumbo to expand global
operations and enable accurate, on-time
and automated invoicing and payments in
additional use cases and verticals.

The company had also recently signed
a contract with Equinor to use GumboNet
across the operator’s drilling and well ser-
vices category. Rollouts will begin in the
Norwegian Continental Shelf.

ADNOC awards $1.94 billion
in wireline, perforation deals
Abu Dhabi National Oil Company
(ADNOC) recently announced frame-
work agreement awards valued at $1.94
billion for wireline and perforation ser-
vices. The awards – given to ADNOC
Drilling, Schlumberger, Halliburton and
Weatherford – cover ADNOC’s onshore
and offshore fields.

Products Tenaris eliminates manual operations with connector’s anti-rotational keys activation
Tenaris has launched the Automatic
Anti-Rotational Keys (AARK) for its
BlueDock premium weld-on connector,
eliminating all manual operations associ-
ated with the anti-rotational keys activa-
tion. This is expected to reduce risks and
improve running speeds.

When not in use, the system occupies
a fraction of the well site or deck space
required for a standard slickline winch
unit and PCE package.

Pre-installed at Tenaris’ manufac-
turing facilities and designed to allow
multiple activations, the AARKs provide
extra assurance against the connector’s
break-out. In addition to the automatic and
hands-free activation, the technology does
not require special tools for removal.

New frac plug, data analytics tool aim to improve frac efficiency
GEODynamics recently launched a pair
of tools that it says will help companies
to improve productivity and efficiency at
the frac site. The StageCoach data ana-
lytics system is designed to ensure uni-
form proppant distribution from cluster
to cluster, integrating computational fluid
dynamics modeling of proppant slurry
movement with full-scale proppant trans-
port surface test results into an engi-
neering model. Meanwhile, its EVOLV
composite frac plug reduces performance
variables in horizontal completions by
employing a shear ring design that can
eliminate potential leak paths, erosion
and pressure loss.

DC’s Stephen Whitfield spoke with
Santo Petitto, Sales Manager, and Steve
Baumgartner, Senior Technical Advisor,
to discuss the technologies at the 2022
SPE Hydraulic Fracturing Technical
Conference in February.

48 TGT Diagnostics has launched its
Horizontal Flow diagnostics platform
with Cascade3 technology. Designed
for horizontal wells, it uses tempera-
ture and other well system data to
model continuous reservoir flow pro-
files. This capability provides asset
teams with realistic flow modeling and
accurate continuous flow profiles in a
variety of completion and reservoir set-
tings, including fractured formations.

Web-based tool helps
to calculate carbon footprint
Lloyd’s Register updates AllAssets asset management software
Lloyd’s Register is rolling out AllAssets
3.0, which allows businesses to quantify
their risk exposure and prescribe effective
inspection and maintenance plans. The
cloud-based software has helped custom-
ers reduce risk of failure by up to 95%.

It also aims to eliminate data siloes and
Flow diagnostics platform
targets horizontal wells
increase asset performance while opti-
mizing inspection costs across assets.

This latest update includes increased
inspection data capability and tracking,
improved data transfer to enhance usabil-
ity of the risk-based inspection modules,
and an updated security setup.

McDermott International launched
ArborXD, a web-based tool that pro-
vides data collection, estimation
and reporting on the potential car-
bon impact of energy facilities before
construction begins. The tool offers
access to lifecycle footprint estimates,
cost trade-off analyses, emission
reduction pathways and environ-
mental impact assessments. It can
be applied throughout the project life
cycle, including concept to procure-
ment to construction and installation.
