Native capabilities added to Industrial Work Surface
KLX Energy Services has introduced
its VISION Suite of downhole completions
tools, delivering advanced engineering
and customized solutions for downhole
operations. The suite includes OraclE-
SRT (smart reach tool), Spectra PDC and
PhantM dissolvable frac plugs.

Spectra PDC, KLX’s downhole thru tub-
ing motor system, is designed to eliminate
nonproductive time on long lateral runs.

The motor bearing pack’s design utilizes
PDC inserts with significantly fewer parts
than a traditional ball bearing pack.

The OracleE-SRT is a downhole thru
tubing extended-reach tool that can be
fully manipulated from the surface to turn
on and off. The PhantM dissolvable frac
plugs are designed to minimize the need
for interventions .

Adaptive Process Solutions (APS) has
introduced its Microbubble Infusion Unit
(MiFU) to address challenges related to
aging assets and reservoirs to efficiently
and effectively clean produced water so
that it meets regulatory standards before it
can be discharged back into the sea.

The APS MiFU is capable of processing
between 1,000 and 100,000 bbl/day of water
and can remove up to 90% of oil and con-
taminants from produced water without
the need for downstream filtration.

New snapback technology
adds to mooring systems
Samson has launched Defender Fuse ,
Kongsberg Digital has added the
tion technology natively to its Industrial
Work Surface. These tools can now be
fully automated with a collaborative
and open environment. This integration
allows for simulation in the context of all
other work tasks, enabling users to lever-
age the value of simulation in real time.

Users can now easily link simula-
tions to time-series data, ensuring their
simulations match reality. By perform-
ing simulations on real-time data, the
Kognitwin platform generates accurate
digital replicas of assets, which can
be leveraged for near-infinite virtual
insights. These insights include virtual
sensors, equipment performance analy-
ses and sub-system optimizations . The
cloud-based platform allows for the scal-
Users can present simulation results
in the context where they are most rel-
evant. Other data sources can be com-
pared and leveraged to quickly evaluate
simulation results, providing a compre-
hensive understanding of asset perfor-
mance. Additionally, simulations can be
triggered as part of events or workflows,
enabling forecasting and look-ahead
simulations for daily reporting or shift
handovers. Improved mixing technology receives new US patent

acknowledgment from the US Patent
Office for improvements made to its
Annual Injection Mixer , resulting in a
new patent being issued.

The mixer provides an alternative to
traditional injection quills and static
mixers. The improvements noted in the

a product designed to complement stan-
dard mooring systems . It is an advanced
overload warning system engineered to
mitigate snapback situations and can be
added to any mooring system without
line replacement . The product's trigger
deploys at a specific percentage of the
ship design MBL (MBLsd). The catch
material will continue to elongate until
it reaches its final length, up to 150%
more than its original, before complete
rupture. 48
App helps to streamline wellsite personnel management
Intelligent Wellhead Systems has
launched Wellsite Watch, an application
providing digital and simplified person-
nel management for wellsite operations
personnel. It can be accessed via per-
sonal devices or tablets with an intel-
ligent digital sign-in either directly via
the application or by scanning a QR
code. Digital check-in and -out replaces
clipboards and paper. Data is handled
electronically with cloud backup and
maintenance to provide a consistently
up-to-date roster .

The app also incorporates digital HSE
information and acknowledgement
forms for easy sign-off . Digital injury
and hazard identification is also avail-
able through Wellsite Watch .
