CUSTOMER
Major international exploration and production (E&P) company in Indonesia needed to optimize production on 11 oil wells located on 3 offshore platforms in the Java Sea.
CHALLENGE
No visibility to their offshore wells and the extreme costs involved for travel to get to and from the offshore site locations to monitor, manage and optimize production had this E&P frustrated with low profit margins and low production at those sites.
Strong safety concerns contributed to wanting in-office data and remote control for personnel that had to make those constant trips back and fourth offshore to make adjustments and gain visibility.
They also desired the ability to control and optimize gas lift from anywhere to enable their people with actionable analytics and faster control to optimize production.
Security concerns were high with networking and communications to such a remotely located site while keeping connectivity up and reliable with speed.
SOLUTION
Emerson quickly implemented our Zedi SaaS platform as part of a Production Monitoring and Optimization System (PMOS) solution to remotely monitor and analyze production data while controlling gas lift processes for their offshore oil program.
Gaining actionable, analyzed data and the ability to control equipment supported their objective and efforts to meet production targets, increase operational efficiencies and reduce safety risks.
High reliability and availability to visualize offshore equipment, and system performance contributed to significant production gains. Additional benefits included timely data, optimized gas lift, stabilized production, reduced operational costs, improved well test results and minimized safety hazards.
They quickly realized a 17.8% production improvement equating to an increase of 694.8 barrels of oil per day (BOPD).
On each offshore platform at the wellhead, an automated closed loop control system monitors vital production data such as pressures, temperatures and flow rates. Remote alarming gives operators the ability to immediately respond to any malfunctions or faults detected on the offshore platform. Data collected on location is transmitted through Zedi’s secure SaaS network, which utilizes satellite communication services and provides a managed IT and network infrastructure.
Analyzed data is viewed remotely by the end-user, anywhere and anytime with the Zedi Access. Analysis of this data through consolidation, trends and reporting empowers the end user with improved operational decisions when adjusting production remotely through gas lift control for optimal performance.
