HOUSTON, TEXAS, Nov 07 — MicroSilicon Inc exhibited its Quantum RF* system at the recent GOTECH 2018 convention in Dubai hosted by Dragon Oil. The Quantum RF system provides real-time digital analysis of chemical properties of the oil as it flows through the wellhead. The information can be used to manage complex flow-assurance problems such as those involving asphaltene accumulation. MicroSilicon was invited to display their system within the booth of Soghan Energy, who is the partner for MicroSilicon in the Gulf countries.

“Having MicroSilicon as part of our portfolio is allowing us to better serve needs of the local operators,” said Mr. Hussain Sultan Lootah, CEO of Soghan Energy. “GOTECH 2018 was the perfect location to display this example of co-development of technology between local and global providers.”

The contribution of international companies to the event was not missed by the GOTECH sponsors.

Mr. Fareed AlHashmi, Executive Director - Petroleum Development at Dragon Oil, said "GOTECH has been a tremendous success this year. We are delighted to see state-of-the-art oil and gas technologies presented in this conference. In addition to the presence of the large service companies, we are also pleased to see the many innovative technologies presented by small high-tech companies that are focusing their efforts on needs of this area. For example, MicroSilicon Inc. has demonstrated solid progress on tackling complex flow-assurance challenges with their new Quantum-RF system. This is an exciting time for advanced sensor technologies that combine the digital revolution with artificial intelligence to pave the way toward a bright future for the energy industry"

Following this successful technology event, MicroSilicon and Soghan Energy will work together to secure commitment from local E&P operators to deploy additional systems.
