PDSS help keep an eye on operations

摘要

Production surveillance monitoring enables collaboration and speeds response time. The global push is on to optimize hydrocarbon production. For some time now, the digital oil field has been envisioned by many as a way to maximize production. One of the byproducts of digital oilfield efforts, however, has been a resulting explosion of data. Some surveillance systems generate up to two terabytes of new well and field data each day. For operators and petroleum engineers this is a mixed blessing.
