We take pride in announcing our first commercial version of SandMaster on a successful completion. GOTS would like to thank all operators and experts who contributed in suggesting and enhancing features to deliver a robust sand management system. Version 1 is GOTS first commercial version release of SandMaster
Some added few features in Version 1
- Well modelling covering entire facility from subsurface to surface
- Improved logics and algorithms to construct a facility of 100 components x10 times faster than Beta version
- Improved algorithm in unit conversions
In an effort to enhance the Engineering consultancy frame-work, GOTS realized that a consultancy without IT support would not provide an edge over other competitors especially in this era of IT, data science and advance algorithms.
The scope of work consisted of designing of complete ESP system along with equipment specifications from downhole to surface including ESP pump system, cable, surface set-up and energy requirements. The work included not only designing but equipment selection, technical scope of work preparation, technical; evaluation of bids from suppliers and finally technical recommendations. Project was successfully delivered in September 2018
