Data Optimization Trend Continues for Oil and Gas
Grant Gerke | November 23, 2016
The oil and gas industry’s outlook for 2017 looks similar to what it was at the start of 2016, optimize current drilling operations. In a recent press release, General Electric announced a partnership with Maersk Drilling around a marine predictive intelligence pilot project that will target drilling operations.
GE says it will “collaborate on this data-analytic pilot project with the objective to increase Maersk’s drilling vessels productivity and reduce maintenance costs by up to 20 percent.” The project will last 12 months and will use GE’s SeaStream Insight platform — via Predix — to perform “marine asset management.”
“Digital capability will be one of the key enablers for Maersk Drilling, and we embrace this industrial transition,” says Jesper Hansen, CIO, Maersk Drilling. “We are excited to collaborate with GE who is at the forefront of the digital revolution.”

Some of the operational details include sensor data from critical equipment connected to a historian and then takes the information from it and models a “digital twin.” The modeling or the “digital twin” allows for the optimization and some predictive intelligence, according to GE. The press release also reported operational data is presented via operator dashboards, though no details on that setup were provided.
