Project Key Objectives

• Develop an on-line integrated production management, engineering and operations support system, tailored to meet the needs of current PETEX clients

• Use IPM as the modelling, optimisation and diagnostics engine of the production system

• Use an open-architecture to easily plug into user existing databases, SCADA and other best in class applications

• Deliver on-line production expert systems with off-line or on-line advisory systems for production environments, models auditing and tracking, including user privilege and ownership control of production models in a central database

• Integrated Field and Operational Management centred on IPM - Models

Overall Benefits to Our Clients

• Improve production engineering productivity

• Improve overall field management

• Faster response due to early problem detection (hours versus days)

• Focus on exceptions rather than bulk and massive troubleshooting

• Use a unified set of published models for process analysis, forecasting and control

• Scenario based process optimisation

• Zero-Latency application assisted decision making

• Applications are fed from field data and are able to send commands to the field and recommendations to Engineers and Operators

• Have up to date field models throughout field life

Summary of System Approach

• "IPM Engineering Model" - Centric Architecture

• Field data quality is screened for consistency and accuracy, using the models and embedded expert system rules, before they are used within the system.

• Production System modelling and on-line optimisation runs with set point downloading to field controllers

• On-line analysis and quality control of field production tests and real time data

• On-line system for the scheduling, optimisation, execution and control of fields

• Advanced Logic, based on physics, to detect patterns in field data that can be related with abnormal conditions
