Success Stories and Case Histories
Biota impacts strategic economic decisions while reducing GHG impact of current industrial processes
Improve Return on Invested Capital
Economic value: Improve field development capital efficiency with optimized well placement and well count by providing new insights into the movement of subsurface fluids.
GHG impact: Reduce land use impact and wastewater from hydraulic fracturing.
Increase Operating Margin
Value Proposition: Minimize planned platform shutdowns with a continuous, non-invasive, cost effective approach for zonal production allocation in deepwater offshore wells.
GHG impact: Reduce fossil-fuel emissions from current offshore production logging service and while improving safety for oil spill prevention.
Reduce Operational and Safety Risk
Value Proposition: Improve asset integrity and maintenance program of pipelines and petrochemical plants with enhanced microbial corrosion analysis.
GHG impact: Extend useful life of steel assets, reduce unnecessary chemical treatments and improve personnel safety.
Value Proposition: Improve occupational health & safety profile in the built environment – hotels, airlines, office buildings and hospitals – with long-term monitoring and tracking of pathogens, such as COVID-19.
GHG impact: Improved efficiency of building operations and sanitization procedures while maximizing employee safety and compliance.
