Intelligent Wellhead Systems (IWS), a leading supplier of digital technologies that improve oil and gas well completion operations, has announced that its inVision Digital Valve Control technology received a Special Meritorious Award for Engineering Innovation (MEA) in the Digitalization category from Hart Energy. 

 

According to Hart Energy, inVision Digital Valve Control technology helps mitigate the risk and improve the efficiency of hydraulic fracturing, wireline and pressure control operations.  The technology integrates a wide variety of sensors, engineered safety controls and best practices to remotely operate accumulator valves using digitally enhanced standard operating procedures, said a statement. 

 

With this approach to remotely operating accumulator valves, it is possible to open or close access multiple wells to increase efficiency while reducing the risk of human error that can cause catastrophic failures that lead to loss of life, injury and equipment damage, it said..

 

William Standifird, CEO of IWS, said: “I find it very inspiring that our inVision technology has been honoured as one of the industry’s game-changing innovations of 2022. 

 

“From the beginning, the IWS team set its sights on optimizing completions performance and wellsite safety by developing technologies that help to achieve these goals. To have our efforts recognized by Hart Energy is certainly a fitting way to demonstrate our commitment to improving HSE performance at the frac site, as well as enhancing efficiencies,” he added.-TradeArabia News Services
