DOF Applications

Engineering know-how and experience are of paramount importance for the oil and gas companies. The growing scarcity of experienced workers is creating an experience gap that Integrated Field Management technology will help to bridge. Capturing the “expert knowledge” in an organised and structured manner and supporting collaboration reliably and securely in real time becomes key to increasing productivity and fuelling a company’s ability to

grow. The “expert knowledge” capture within the PE Limited’ DOF philosophy is supported by introduction of individuals’ experience into workflows and analysis.

The technology described here has proven itself to be a powerful “enabler” - a catalyst – for the creation of the organisational thinking and transparency required for the successful implementation of the digital oil field vision.

The combined engagement of the organisations’ management at all levels, as well as the asset team members will ensure actions are transparent, knowledge is shared, and decisions are made with all the available information. This will facilitate the achievement of the

DOF added-value objectives.

Fast implementation of DOF system improves decision making and allows for maximum utilisation of available data to support asset management objectives.

The results from the IFM implementation show that it results in a streamlined process that allows updating models from reservoir to topsides using high frequency data with the following attributes:

IFM system deployed with associated workflows and tested in this project in a relatively short time period. Further automation routines are being developed along with dashboards and smart alarms by the asset.
The various database systems were connected as part of PDMS refresh project/IFM to integrate short-term forecasting methods and production allocation.
