Digital Transformation of Production Governance and Assurance Processfor Improving Production Efficiency

摘要

In the pursuit of driving production efficiency and profitability,ADNOC Upstream has embarked on acollaborative initiative with its group companies,to conceptualize,develop and implement ProductionEfficiency Improvement(PEI)digital tool for effective production governance and assurance.The initiativeis aligned with ADNOCs ambition to leverage Oil and Gas 4.0 technologies and digitalization to achieve5 MMBPD by 2030.This digital foundation comprise of process standardization,automation and analytical visualization tosupport the maximization of the integrated production potential,as well as optimization of uptime andavailability of facilities,and driving continuous improvement.The existing systems and process are basedon the traditional methods,which include reporting data in spreadsheet format and information through e-mails,and several tools,repository systems and databases.Traditional approaches carry several businesslimitations like inefficiency,long cycle time,inaccuracies in the data reporting,lack of management ofchange,sub-optimal planning and delay in decision making.PEI is being developed to address the challenges faced by the traditional processes,therefore furtherenhancing decision-making agility and robustness by automating workflows involving all stakeholders inADNOC Onshore and HQ and enabling Digital Management of Change.This includes digital gatheringof all technical information and storing it as single version of truth in Upstream Data Hub which providereliable references among all Stakeholders.PEI digital tool automates and manages the workflow of threecritical business processes through the following modules:Module 1-Production Governance and Shutdown Assurance Module 2-Production Deferrals Allocation and Reporting Module 3-Investigation of Unplanned Events and tracking of actions The PEI solution has been designed following agile methodology,through a Proof of Concept,pilot anddeployment across ADNOC Onshore assets in a staged manner directly involving relevant ADNOC Onshorestakeholders through an extensive collaboration as one integrated team.Shutdown plans can be optimized,and continuous improvement can be empowered,by automating production capacity plan submission and approvals,as well as introducing a system to track and manage changes proactively.A Pilot phase followedwith participation of Adnoc Onshore and Adnoc Offshore,The system enables daily actual production reporting and track deviations from the FTR(field technicalrate)High-impact unplanned events are automatically identified,to ensure resources are adequatelyallocated to their resolution.The investigation of these Unplanned Deferrals and High Potential Events isassured in the system,which allows to track investigations'progress,and effective management of theseevents.This approach aims to to support ADNOC Upstream to maximize the Field Technical Rate potential,optimize planned shutdowns,and minimize unplanned shutdowns,whilst optimizing the utilization of theavailable resources.
