Increased demand in production and recovery, advancements in technologies and the desire to collaborate expertise across multiple assets are changing the work process at many oil and gas companies. Integrated Operations (IO) program describes the process, performance improvement and transformation of Petronas Carigali (PCSB) production operations. The program aims to help PCSB to address growth, organization and environmental challenges by integrating new transformational technologies with streamlined work processes and enables the followings: Enables a more effective working environment Work processes are streamlined and automated Quality information is available and accessible across the organization Collaborative expertise of multiple locations, teams and domains across distance Intelligent alarms and alerts for continuous asset awareness Increase hydrocarbon production and recovery Samarang was the first field selected for end-to-end asset management IO project. Its implementation deliver objective and focus at the whole of the asset operation optimization through providing increasing levels of monitoring and surveillance, diagnosis, optimization and operations transformation in a way that fits PCSB's current IO state as well as future expansion plans.
Produced water is an inextricable part of the hydrocarbon recovery processes. Safe and environmentally benign disposal of produced water is a major concern for all the oil fields across the world in the present low cost and stringent environmental & statutory compliance era. Many technology available in the market to treat produced water oil contaminants but economical treatment of heavy metal content is still a great challenges for oil industries for safe disposal.
Therefore, New innovative technology i.e. Reed bed technology has been adopted in Heglig field of Sudan to treat the produced water and heavy metal economically through phytoremediation. After successful implementation in Heglig oil field, it is being implemented in other surrounding oil field also.
It is probably a world largest Phytoremediation/Bio-remediation system using Reed Bed technology operating successfully for last 15 years. It is environmental friendly, solar energy driven clean up techniques. This paper not only elucidate, how reed bed removes oil contaminants and heavy metals but also provide clear picture of how this project provide shelter for flora, fauna, other species that help to maintain ecological and environmental balance. Research has also demonstrated that reed-bed technology is feasible and resilient in treating oil produced water
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
