ESP/PCP Intelligent Control: New Opportunities for Integrated Reservoir Management

摘要

The strategic plan of many of the largest Exploration and Production (E&P) companies is to achieve the integration of data, tools and work processes into a common environment and to create the platform to enable digital oil field workflows. The continued segmentation of traditional value chains is causing E&P companies to look hard at organizational effectiveness. Many companies are finding that in-house functions can be improved by partnering with other producers and by forming strategic relationships with service providers (companies) through long-term contracts and alliances. Some operators continue to use a periodic low-bid approach that may fulfill immediate needs, but is often not aligned towards finding the best application for today's technology and service solutions. Operators now expect service companies to provide integrated processes for products, services and solutions within their area of expertise.
