PANEL DISCUSSION
11:10AM - 11:50AM DISCUSSION ON HOW TO OPTIMIZE CHEMICAL MONITORING EVEN FURTHER
​
E&Ps are no longer in the investigative phase; they are now starting to double down on the use cases that are going to help extract value. But how much progress has really been made in the last twelve months in chemical monitoring? Where are E&Ps finding value and seeing results?

BACK TO BASICS: ROUND TABLE DISCUSSION​
​
2:00PM - 2:50PM ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS FOCUSING ON THE BASICS OF CHEMICAL SELECTION, APPLICATION & INJECTION
​
Chemical programs and chemical management teams are evolving. An observation from a leading E&P company is that in the race to advance oilfield chemical management, there is lack of attention to the basics and sometimes a violation of basic principles.
​
This back-to-basics deep-dive workshop is for all levels of oilfield chemical engineers and managers, giving attendees the insight on how to find and adopt clever ways of optimizing chemical programs, while adhering to basic chemical management principles.
​
-
When, where, how and how much chemicals to inject
-
How to get timing of injection right
-
How to optimize chemical concentration to make it successful
-
Understand limitations in chemical compatibility
-
Clever ways to minimize hardware and combine chemistries where possible
-
