Improved Production and Process Optimization Through People, Technology, and Process

摘要

A joint venture Production & Process Optimization project between Statoil and Schlumberger is targeting two distinct areas: 1. Improved reservoir management to optimize the reservoir erformance over the life of the field. 2. Production optimization of the intelligent wells, production network and process facilities on a day-to-day basis. This is achieved through development of tools, methodologies and workflows. In order to support the change management process, a prototyping process has been developed for surveillance workflow development and deployment. The dynamic prototyping process allows a bottom-up development of workflows starting from data conditioning and reconciliation up to optimization and control. These different automation modes for provided workflows go along with deriving information and ultimately knowledge from production process data in order to improve decision making processes.
