IFM
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
