If industrial facilities want to “operationalise” pursuit of their high level KPIs... it is essential to have a structured data management system for sensor data. AVEVA explained, and showed how TotalEnergies does it

BAKER HUGHES ANNUAL MEETING IN FLORENCE

• Reducing geothermal costs with digital workflow tools - The key may be to have a more effective digital workflow for the tasks of modelling, reservoirs, well plans, surface equipment plans, and then improving the plan
• Services to reduce flaring and operational emissions - Baker Hughes has a range of services including its flare.IQ software and hardware tool, and services to recover and utilise the gas
• Time for “progress at scale” says Baker Hughes CEO - time to take what we have learned over the past few years and apply it at scale, said Lorenzo Simonelli
• Former US Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette, NET Power, Hydrogen Council and Wabtec shared perspectives on how industry is making progress to reduce emissions- speaking at a panel session in the Baker Hughes Annual Meeting in Florence
• Constellation Energy, C3, Ode, Microsoft, Accenture shared perspectives on how to scale “digital innovation and AI” - in a panel session at the Baker Hughes Annual Meeting
• ExxonMobil, ENI, Aramco, Shell, and HIF Global shared perspectives on how industry is decarbonising - at Baker Hughes’ Annual Meeting in Florence
• How LanzaTech, ADNOC and AWS find sustainable solutions - LanzaTech uses bacteria to ferment carbon rich waste gases into ethanol; ADNOC has sent 14,000 employees on an AI course
• Software engineering company EPAM is the systems integrator for Baker Hughes’ Leucipa field production software - It has 20 per cent annual growth. CEO and founder Arkadiy Dobkin told the story

• The riskiest operational technology exposures - those with devices with known exploited vulnerabilities where ransomware has been seen, connected to the internet insecurely. We should start with those, says Claroty
• UK’s “data portals” for offshore energy - including the oil and gas national data repository, wind and wave survey data, and seabed data. Are there better ways to use them?
• Shell, BP, AIQ, AWS perspectives on AI in energy- in a webinar organised by Globuc. Having people who understand the domain remains important
• Making port calls more efficient with a data hub - finding ways to improve vessel scheduling and dock operations. By Robert Kessler, Product Manager, Marine Terminal Operations, with MIS Marine

• Better ways to do CO2 storage monitoring - 4D seismic is expensive and not technically suitable for all projects. Gravity, 2D and spot seismic, fibre optics / DAS and microseismic may be better. A UK study looked into it
• Australian mining giant Fortescue wants to convert its bulk carriers to green ammonia power, while also becoming a major green ammonia supplier - To demonstrate, it converted a service vessel to run on ammonia
