Empowering The Onshore Oil & Gas Sector To Harness The Full Potential
Of Automation Investments

For onshore oil and gas enterprises, the pursuit of substantial returns from wellsite automation investments hinges on a crucial factor: mastering the art of data utilization. Much like a conductor harmonizing a symphony, your data sources possess the potential to amplify strategies, yet they often operate disjointedly.

The 2024 Onshore Wellsite Automation Congress theme paints a vivid picture of a world where divergent data sources converge to illuminate insights and optimize decisions. Our central focus centers on unlocking the latent power within diverse data sets, transforming it into actionable intelligence. From optimizing digital workflows to seamlessly integrating hardware and software, effective data utilization is interwoven into the entire three-day agenda.

Held in Houston as a live conference and exhibition on January 30, Janury 31 and February 1, 2024, senior automation VPs and operational EVPs who oversee technology implementation and their teams should attend to stay abreast of the latest technological applications and operational implementations for wellsite automation, as well as the almost weekly influx of new innovations.

With numerous companies diving into further expanding automation, some pushing the boundaries by automating wellhead operations, optimizing well pad valves, and exploring the potential of downhole devices to extend mature well productivity and others delving into the realm of land-based robotics, seeking to replace human tasks with automated precision, this Congress has alot of new ground to cover. 

2024 Data Utilization Edition Topics
Genuine Case Studies, Collaborative Strategies & Lessons Learned

Day One is entirely dedicated to meticulously dissecting the costs and benefits of adopting new technologies, revealing successful implementations and strategies to overcome real-world challenges. It will also shine a spotlight on the vast potential of AI and analytics. We will also dissect how to effectively integrate technology for wellhead automation, be it for brownfield or greenfield sites, presenting comprehensive insights. Furthermore, we witness the ascendancy of AI and machine learning among operators. Delve deeply into how these technological strides can elevate analytics and forecast trends.

Day Two sharpens the focus on integration from both strategic and technological angles. This includes synergizing IoT devices with SCADA, integrating middleware software solutions, and, naturally, safeguarding this ecosystem through robust cybersecurity measures.

Transitioning to Day Three, the discussion pivots to facility strategies, particularly automation techniques to mitigate the costs of emissions control. Industry leaders, such as those in New Mexico, will share invaluable strategies spanning from leak detection to emissions automation.

Balancing Technical & Strategic Content

We've adeptly balanced technical and strategic content, addressing fundamental questions like the cloud's potential vs. the integration of cloud and edge computing. While the transformative potential of cloud-based solutions looms large, the speakers will scrutinize their reliability with precision.

We'll also delve into evolving communication protocols, hardware-independent control structures, and the intricacies of failure tracking. The cloud-versus-edge debate, reliability considerations, trust-related concerns, and practical triumphs gleaned from real-world scenarios will all be illuminated. Collaborative partnerships with vendors remain instrumental, and our exploration extends to software solutions capable of seamless interaction across a diverse spectrum of hardware.

This year's agenda is as diverse as the operational scenarios it covers: from brownfield to greenfield setups and challenging terrains. Integration – both strategic and technical methodologies - remains the recurring undercurrent, particularly when viewed through the lens of actioning data for decision-making. It's about workflow, software, and where and how you process the data.

Join us in Houston for a Congress packed with presentations, networking opportunities and an exhibition showcasing the latest technologies
