Operational Issues

Abstract Collaborative Working Environments (CWE) are a business solution that improve the quality and speed of decision making by enriching the collaboration between teams and individuals, which results in tangible business benefits. The advantages of working in a collaborative environment are well understood in the organization and the concept is widely embraced throughout the petroleum industry. CWEs provide seamless communication between disciplines and between teams in different locations. Traditionally, they have been used to connect staff in remote locations to teams in the headquarters, allowing real time monitoring of the health of the field, and fast decision making on operational issues and short to medium term optimization opportunities. The main goal is to be quickly alerted to events and make smarter, faster decisions using key capabilities available to the company with access to all relevant knowledge, data and analytical tools required to reach a decision. But this drive to make smarter, faster decisions is applicable to all levels of a company. In fact, it becomes increasingly important as more complex decisions are required at higher levels, which can be influenced by interpreted data, personal opinions and perceptions. In line with strategic objective of digital transformation, a national oil company (NOC) has extensive plans to develop asset specific CWEs and enterprise level CWEs. These will be centralized collaboration facilities to provide more rigorous, effective, and consistent surveillance & optimization to help reduce deferment costs and inefficiencies and accelerate decision-making with a measurable business value to enhance HSE, Reservoir, Drilling, Well and Production system performance through emerging digital innovation. All these centers shall be equipped to receive real time and episodic data and perform exception-based surveillance through trending, analysis, and condition diagnosis. All these CWE Centers shall enable decision making with efficient multi-disciplinary collaboration to address business challenges and increase the efficiency of day-to-day operations. They will have clear roles and responsibilities serving as an integral element of the value realization across the assets. The paper will describe the enterprise CWE strategy, key technical considerations, methodology and standards that have been set up to achieve the ultimate objective of the organization to maximize oil field recovery, eliminating non-productive time, enhancing HSE aspects and increasing profitability through the deployment of these various centers.

Rules Of The Game

Real-time pricing DSM (demand side management) is widely used to dynamically change or shift the electricity consumption in the smart grid. In this paper, a game decision making scheme is proposed in the smart grid with DSM. The interaction between two retailers and their wholesaler is modeled as a two-stage game model. Considering the competition between two retailers, two different game models are developed in terms of the different action order between retailers and their wholesaler. Through analyzing the equilibrium revenues of the retailers for different situations we find that although the wholesaler expects to decentralize certain management powers to the retailers, it has retained the right to change the rules of the game and frequently reneged on the promises. More specifically, the law should ensure that any change of the revenue-sharing formula must go through certain legal procedures. Imposing legal restrictions on the wholesaler’s discretionary policy suggests that the time-inconsistency problem is mitigated. Numerical simulation shows the effectiveness of proposed scheme.

Real Time Information

This chapter describes a monitoring system based on alerts and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), applied in clinical context, within a chronic disease (haemophilia). This kind of disease follows the patient through his/her life, and its treatment requires an almost permanent exchange of data/information with healthcare professional (HCPs), with the information and communications technologies (ICTs) a key contribution in this process. However, most applications based on those ICTs do not allow the analysis of heterogeneous data in real-time, requiring the availability of clinicians to check the data and analyze the information to support the clinical decision process. Since time is a scarce resource in the context of healthcare providers, and information a crucial resource in the decision support process, real-time monitoring systems can help finding the right balance between those two resources, presenting the key information in an appropriate format, through alerts and KPIs. The system described in this chapter, named hemo@care_dashboard, aims to support clinical decision-making of healthcare professionals of a specific chronic disease, providing real-time information in a push-logic through alerts and KPIs, displayed on a dashboard.

The major objective of perforating is to provide an effective flow communication between wellbore and formation, and achieve adequate well productivity. Perforating techniques and equipment that are used play an important role in determining the production that results. This paper describes the various perforating system used in the oil industry, with tile guns and techniques that are commonly used, applications and limitations of each. Studies also include factors that affect the well productivity as well as other parameters that influence the decision making in chosing the right perforator/gun under existing conditions. Actual data from a local oil field are used as a case study and the performance of different shaped charge are simulated using the Schlumberger SPAN OIL software. The results agree with the previous findings, guns having high shot density. deepest penetration, best phase angle under reversepressure condition give the best productivity.

Monitoring Application

Abstract Prabumulih Field was located in South Sumatra, Indonesia. It has been developed as an oil field since 1920n (It was categorized as a mature field). At the end of 2019, the amount of oil well production was 149 wells (93% of the producing wells installed artificial lifting). As a consequence, to maintain production, artificial lifting surveillance activities must be a major concern and be managed properly. However, there are some challenges for surveillance, for instance, the location of well spread over a large area, the condition of the access road, and limited human resources. Surveillance activity itself carried out manually required both much time and many human resources, however, acquired data was only once in a week for one well. That condition always emerged undesired occurrence because engineers who were in the headquarter did not obtain notification when producing wells were in trouble or suddenly off producing. In addition, there was a delay in time for evaluation and intervention, which resulted in decreased oil production. Nowadays, application, in order to accelerate the data retrieval process, was much needed, especially real-time acquisition and it could be monitored in several kinds of devices. This paper will be presented about the benefit of real-time monitoring application in mature field, especially for artificial lifting well (ESP and Rod Pump). It has been installed since December 2019. There were several benefits obtained after installing this technology, those were related to surveillance and optimization. For instance, reducing time and human resources needed to obtained pump parameter data, engineers who are in the headquarter could observe everyday using both laptop/personal computer and smartphone, engineers obtained notification immediately when there were wells in a trouble, decision making for optimization and or intervention was faster, increase pump run life, and reducing well service program. Besides, there was another benefit that related to cost reduction, for instance saving rig costs for well service of 350,578 USD in a year because the amount of well service decreased from 49 times to 36 times, and obtained additional gross revenue of 547,945 USD for one year (cost for real-time monitoring for a year is 116,438 USD) because production deferment reduced from 19,577 STB to 5,105 STB. Based on those data, real-time monitoring could increase the economic condition of the mature field, so it was worth applying in a mature field.

A massive flood in Myanmar struck the Bago river in July, 2018. In this study, because of the limitation of real-time data availability, the satellite-based precipitation was used for clarifying the characteristics of the flood. The total precipitation during 10 days from July 22, when the flood first began at the western Bago city, was estimated approximately 753 mm and 527 mm at the Bago and Zaungts stations in the Bago river watershed. These values were corresponding to 355% and 294% of average of the 10-day total precipitation at the Bago (1967–2015) and Zaungts (1987–2014) stations. Furthermore, not only the 3-day and weekly peak precipitations but also the annual accumulative precipitations during July 22 and August 16 were estimated larger than the largest recorded precipitations at both stations. Although the Zaungts dam stored approximately 140 million m3 during this period, which was an amount equivalent to 40% of inflow volume during July 22 and 28, the resulting flood widely propagated in the Bago city. Based on the flood survey, the 2018 Bago river flood was classified into 4 areas; the right bank of the Bago river, the eastern town, the northern town, and the downstream from the Zaungts Weir and Bago city. These areas were marked as vulnerable areas in the Bago city. The Bago river watershed has experienced many floods in the past, and floods on the same scale as this flood are expected to occur in the future. Therefore, it is essential to understand the characteristics of the 2018 Bago river flood and develop near real-time monitoring of hydrometeorological situation to be prepared for the next flood disaster.

Aid Decision

The paper describes the development of the 1998 revision of the Psychological Society of Ireland's Code of Professional Ethics. The Code incorporates the European Meta-Code of Ethics and an ethical decision-making procedure borrowed from the Canadian Psychological Association. An example using the procedure is presented. To aid decision making, a classification of different kinds of stakeholder (i.e., interested party) affected by ethical decisions is offered. The author contends (1) that psychologists should assert the right, which is an important aspect of professional autonomy, to make discretionary judgments, (2) that to be justified in doing so they need to educate themselves in sound and deliberative judgment, and (3) that the process is facilitated by a code such as the Irish one, which emphasizes ethical awareness and decision making. The need for awareness and judgment is underlined by the variability in the ethical codes of different organizations and different European states: in such a context, codes should be used as broad yardsticks, rather than precise templates.
