Abstract
PETRONAS Upstream is cognizant of the need to provide a unified digital production platform to the entire upstream community. The digital platform enables the community to perform analytical, collaborative monitoring & surveillance, and optimization to sustain production and improve our operations.
Digital Fields (DF) is a modern digital platform, integrating data and analytical services, that provides smarter insights and shed light on potential insights that contribute to better-informed decision-making and improves the way of working.
A big data ecosystem and strong infrastructure is the foundation of this digital platform, allied to existing business processes, it allows frictionless secure flow of data, high performance, scalability to support business operations.
Digital Fields platform provides the following features:
Scalable to all PETRONAS fields operated in Malaysia as well as International assets Solution architecture that allows fast implementation of new solutions and insights A common company-wide platform with the same familiar user interface and user experience
The critical aspect to liven up a digital production platform is to identify first the available data sources. Some fields have the luxury of transmitters and sensors installed at the well head, topside facilities and export pipelines where the data can be easily retrieved from the SCADA system for data acquisition. Some other fields with less real-time data luxury would keep their operational data inside some operational reporting documents.
A smart report ingestion solution was developed with the means to transform unstructured data from the operational reports, which empowers the users with multiple options for data upload and consumption while ensuring a single, traceable and auditable source of truth.
Digital Fields leverages the combination of Daily Operation Reports (DOR), data with different frequency, such as real-time data, with engineering models changing the way the users consume data and provides proactive actionable insights to accelerate tangible values for the business organization.
The solution establishes the foundational digital capabilities for field operations and speeds up data-driven value opportunities from operational data and analytics at scale.
