Intelligent Operations in the oil and gas exploration and production industry is a concept that has been coming into reality during the past decade. While exploration programs to find new hydrocarbon reserves continue, Intelligent Operations focuses on known reservoirs. The focus is on producing and recovering more oil and gas out of existing reserves through asset and process optimization. This can be achieved through continuous fine-tuning of reservoir, well and facility operating parameters to strike an ongoing, dynamic balance between minimizing operating costs and maximizing production during the life of the reservoir.

Solutions for Intelligent Operations typically consist of the following building blocks:

• High quality Real-Time data from wells, manifolds, separation & test facilities
• Integrated Production Models linking reservoir, well and processing facility
• models for the purpose of soft sensing, allocation, optimization and forecasting
• Intelligent Alarming & Diagnostics leveraging large volumes of real-time data in conjuction with production limits imposed by various disciplines
• Enhanced Business Processes & Working Procedures to ensure sustainability of intelligent operations

• An Integrated Visualization layer to facilitate cross disciplinary collaboration and integrate different solutions at the front end

The benefits are obvious

• Improved allocation & reconciliation factors
• Reduced unscheduled & hidden deferment
• Enhanced reservoir management
