TECHNICAL OPERATIONS

• Using AI in offshore operations at SLB, Wood and Perenco - multi agent AI for production surveillance, subsea inspection video, maintenance planning and well log data analysis
• BP, Oxy using AI on wells - to detect sustained high pressure in casing, to detect if a well is shut in, and to reduce safety incidents.
• How AI risks can be better managed - DNV has a model
• The world’s first gas chromatograph with “built in cybersecurity,” from ABB - built-in firewall, and no ports are open by default. ABB’s David Lincoln explained
• Aramco making multiphase Coriolis meters more accurate for multiphase flow - using three separate vibration drivers and improved electronics

• Jim Masso, CEO of Honeywell Process Automation - perspectives on how process automation is increasingly driven by software, leading to more use of AI, and how it works together with domain expertise
• The new Honeywell automation systems are designed to augment human decision making, not replace it - it calls this “digital cognition”. CTO Jason Urso explains
• How E&P company ONE-Dyas uses Honeywell asset performance management software to manage an unmanned offshore platform - Gerlof Visser explained how it was set up
• How AkerBP implements condition based maintenance - gradually implementing on its offshore assets over the past 10 years
• How Flowserve and provides CBM to its customers - after trying it in-house, it decided to work with Honeywell
• How Honeywell deploys AI in its software tools - to help operators make better decisions, and to support cybersecurity
• Honeywell’s tools for cybersecurity management - the “Cyber Watch” cybersecurity tool to help companies monitor threats on their operations technology
• Honeywell's Aptica containerised, modular software - useful in industrial processes which involve multiple steps, which are not in themselves complex, but need joining up, like pharmaceuticals
• Honeywell and technologies for future energy systems - including to operate plant with unreliable power, green hydrogen, battery storage, biofuels, SAF, and emissions management
