Products Halliburton launches new real-time service for multilayer visualization while drilling
Halliburton has introduced StrataStar,
a deep azimuthal resistivity service that
provides multilayer visualization to maxi-
mize well contact with the reservoir and
improve real-time reserves evaluation.

The service is the latest addition to
Halliburton’s iStar intelligent drilling
and logging platform, which combines
deep subsurface insights with artificial
intelligence for improved drilling perfor-
mance and consistent well delivery. For
more decisive well placement, the ser-
vice acquires real-time measurement and
visualization of surrounding geology and
fluids up to 30 ft around the wellbore.

It applies a sophisticated algorithm to
accurately map the position, thickness
and resistivity of interbedded rock and
fluid layers to stay within targeted bound-
aries. Dropsafe expands range of its helideck safety net system
Dropsafe has expanded its Helideck
Perimeter Safety Net range, with one ver-
sion offering a 10-year service life and two-
year warranty, and another version offer-
ing a 25-year service life with a 10-year
warranty. The 316 stainless-steel system
attaches to the perimeter frames of heli-
decks to protect personnel from falling.

The system is designed to withstand an
impact greater than 2.3 kJ (100 kg at 2.35
m). The system is modular, allowing easy
replacement of components if necessary.

Data Gumbo recently launched
GumboStore, an industry-grade smart
contract marketplace. It enables com-
panies to create, deploy, publish or
license intuitive smart contract tem-
plates to eliminate transactional and
informational friction in commercial
relationships. Access to GumboStore
requires a subscription to Data Gumbo’s
smart contract network, GumboNet.

Compact well integrity technologies reduce space requirements
Unity has launched a new range of
compact technologies to solve industry
challenges like working space, com-
ponent weight and personnel on board
restrictions. The new technology range
includes a compact dual-bore xmas tree
isolation system, a compact valve remov-
al tool and a compact shear-seal valve.

The technologies will be used to support
Unity’s surface well integrity, shallow
intervention and well decommissioning
services. Data Gumbo launches

Hammerless valve cover
lock for drilling modules
GD Energy Products has launched
SafeLock, a hammerless quarter-turn
valve cover lock for drilling modules
that delivers safe, fast removals with-
out requiring any tools. The tool reduc-
es the multiple revolutions needed to
remove the valve cover lock to a quar-
ter-turn. Corrosion-resistant threading
and grease zerks keep threads lubri-
cated between service intervals.

IFS Cloud updated with simpler but more intelligent analytics
IFS has released an update to IFS
Cloud, enabling fast-tracked adoption of
digital capabilities. The update delivers
improved predictive capabilities and sim-
pler, more intelligent analytics for faster
time to insight. Enhancements include:
• Ready-to-go analytics: pre-built content
with advanced analytics reports;
• New analysis models for enterprise
50 asset management, customer relation-
ship management, human capital man-
agement, and manufacturing, and self-
service analytics;
• Extended asset performance prediction:
Combined sensor data and historical
maintenance records can be used to train
machine learning models to support the
decision-making process of operators.
