ISIS—A Real-Time Information Pipeline

fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractAs part of its global FIELD OF THE FUTURE initiative, BP in the North Sea has embarked on a programme to significantly change how onshore and offshore staff interact and collaborate, with the objective of improving the efficiency of drilling and operations. This paper reports on the first phase of this project, in which five Advanced Collaborative Environments (ACEs) have been designed and deployed in the BP Aberdeen office in support of production operations. These environments take advantage of a range of digital technologies to deliver operational data to a wider team who are focused on further improving operational excellence.

“…If it is done correctly, reconciling the data, processing it through models and flagging up apparent anomalies, can reduce this huge cascade of data to a digestible quantity of information. For instance; ISIS [5] translates the temperatures and pressures around a well into Gas Oil and water flows in real time, allowing immediate quantitative analysis of the effect of interventions. Similarly D2D (Data to Desktop) looks at top sides equipment such as heat exchangers and compressors and monitors key performance indicator's (KPI's), to give an early indication of performance drift.…”

TX 75083-3836, U.S.A., fax 01-972-952-9435. AbstractFor BP the North Sea is an important mature basin which produces around 15% of the company's total global production of around 4000 mboed. However, like many mature basins sustaining a profitable and competitive future is challenged by the overall decline in oil and gas production rates, increasing trend in unit operating costs, the integrity and operability of the ageing infrastructure and the changing demographics of the work force. In this perspective, North Sea has become a key exemplar that illustrates how BP's FIELD OF THE FUTURE programme can help to meet numerous challenges in the management of mature areas.To help manage and reduce the negative impact of these business challenges BP is implementing a North Sea regional FIELD OF THE FUTURE Technology programme. The vision over the next 5 years is to deploy FIELD OF THE FUTURE technologies at scale across most BP operated fields with the aspiration to improve overall production by 5% and reduce operating cost by 10%.For the North Sea mature assets the main focus is around four technical projects: Advanced Collaborative Environments (ACE); Real time data monitoring and surveillance; Advanced control and optimization; Automation and remote control. From the outset BP has discovered many challenges in deploying and implementing at scale across a region. This paper will share some of the key challenges and insights involved in implementing at scale the technical projects through the appropriate process, organisation capability and technology across the region.

“…This has proved to be the less sustainable of the two approaches as changing reservoir conditions rapidly impact the validity of the recommendations. • As a series of liquid and gas velocity constrains that can be used as a stand alone interpretation, incorporated into a real-time monitoring tool (Foot et al, 2006) or embedded into a steady state data-enabled modelling software (Stenhouse et al, 2010). This method of communication has proved to be more sustainable as the superficial velocity constrains are applicably over a wide range of reservoir conditions.…”
