OSIsoft 2012 User Conference, San Francisco

摘要

Speaking at the 2012 OSIsoft User Conference in San Francisco earlier this year, Tom Hosea outlined Industrial Evolution's approach to electric submersible pump (ESP) performance analysis and optimization. The proof of concept, performed for a US major, set out to implement PI System at assets in the San Joachim Valley, California and in West Texas. Project focus was capturing trends and exception reporting for historic and real time ESP operations. A dozen or so real time measurements are captured at five minute intervals and compared with predicted reservoir performance curves. If they depart sufficiently from expected values, an email alert is sent to the operator for remedial action. A PI Asset Framework (AF) database holds inventory details of ESP specifications.
