The technology metamorphosis has been the only constant, since the first commercial use of Hydraulic fracturing in 1947. After digging more than 1 million wells, the payoff to developing hydraulic fracturing advances has been exceptional in bringing the old wells to life and unlocking the true potential of oil and gas resources from reservoirs. Hydraulic fracturing technology is utilized in ultralow-permeability shale and tight sand reservoirs, making the entire process-critical and remote. The challenge lies in the provision of greater reliability and maintenance predictability, for the experts who work with the technology on remote sites. Reduction of the downtime at frac sites and the need to have excess pumping equipment on standby to ensure continuity of the work in the event of equipment failures are the challenges the manufacturers and rigs need to address. As a response, manufacturers are upgrading their most established products and, in turn, integrating a new clean-sheet of innovations and designs with the latest analysis and simulation tools. Focus is shed on securing communications in remote exploration and drilling sites along with encryption technology that works with IIoT networks and military-grade security to ensure the protection of remote network and site data. Even today, the fine-tuning of hydraulic fracturing is underway, with precision being the primary goal. This edition of Energy Tech Review gives prominence to those enterprises striving to enable further reductions in the environmental footprint and enhance productivity per application. We hope our readers can gain a new perspective from the industry experts in this edition.
