BACKGROUND
Oil Companies are facing a significant challenge to improve oil production, work efficiency, and reservoir reserve recovery in the long term.
Many oil companies has also recognized the importance of up to date and accurate production data when looking to minimize losses, to optimize asset performance and to maximize reservoir recovery.
To affront successfully this challenge, oil companies needs the implementation of a comprehensive solution for information management which includes the main processes engineering workflow analysis, technology implementation based on these processes and the cultural and organizational change management required to ensure success of this project
WHAT IS ACAOS ?
A site assessment program has been started by ASNAIL team and is aimed at deploying a ASNAIL customized Asset Optimization System (ACAOS) and associated workflows to oil company’s operated asset.
Today some oil companies use a typical legacy production data management composed by single-user forms, hard copy or spreadsheets for data capture.
Operations engineers receive data and manually type it into forms, enter new facilities and duplicated it for other purposes. Data validation is manual and often ineffective.
Information is stored and accessed via templates developed by end users, in spreadsheets, or in rigid in-house systems plagued of information redundancy and errors. The increasing production targets with the consequent enlargement on production wells, facilities etc. make impractical or not feasible to continue using this legacy system.
WHY ACAOS ?
The ASNAIL Customized AO System (ACAOS) will be able to collect multi-user concurrent data entry from different sources such as Real time data from ASNAIL or oil company’s own SCADA systems, other data collection systems and manual data from GUIs to be deployed.
ASNAIL AO’s key requirements are to be able to support rigorous and intelligent management of data and information, workflow automation, visualization, tracking and data driven analysis and model-based workflows through an expert system to speed decision making.
Another ACAOS key target is to achieve a flexible and scalable architecture that enable applications to share, publish and consume data & services through a seamless integrated solution.
