Episode: From Milling to Data: How STEP-conneCT is Redefining Coiled tubing Operations with Brad Watson
Description: The oil and gas industry has long relied on surface data and the expertise of seasoned operators to manage the complexities of downhole operations. However, as wells become deeper, laterals longer, and conditions more extreme, the human expert can struggle to address the expanded downhole complexity. Consistency, efficiency, and precision have become increasingly difficult to achieve. This growing complexity presents significant challenges. Operators must interpret inconsistent surface data while contending with extreme pressures, weights, and temperatures. Without real-time visibility into what's happening at the drill bit, risks like unplanned downtime, tool failures, and inefficiencies sap productivity and...
