Important data storage is that business assets exist and facilitate at industry-by-industry, comprises for example oil and vapour, petrochemical industry and refining, power utility, paper pulp and paper, commerce and expert's chemicals or the like.These industries are called as " handling industry " or " production department's science and engineering industry " hereinafter, and business assets and equipment are called as " processing assets " or " produce and handle assets ".Main target of one embodiment of the present of invention and focus comprise from the information extraction of several complete different sources based on knowledge, and convert the information that can take action to by the function group of supporting assets, processing or manufacturing plant or equipment, as shown in Figure 1.

Fig. 2 shows according to the typical data source available in the embodiments of the invention operation and the potential use of this data information transfer.For every type data, data message from all kinds, have different values and application.Making the required requirement of each decision-making about one piece of data also has nothing in common with each other.According to type and the value and the application of data, true-time operation also has nothing in common with each other.

Fig. 3 has described primary element and the framework of the embodiment of system architecture of the present invention.Be the major component of abnormal operation time transmission solution, the device parameter deviation of for example from the failure of pump to the process, living, can comprise: performance monitoring and diagnostic system model for example comprise expert system; Decision support template comprises expert system; Intelligent scheduling and work management/Task Distribution module; The supply chain management module; Information exchange module and supervision ruleset manager.This has provided the general introduction of very high-level main element.According to particular system, be used for the operation of the various aspects of managing assets and enterprise, the realization of each element can require Several Methods and Software tool.Yet Admin Events can obtain by the access entrance technology that is used to support and manage the function operation group of special assets until the required information of solution.Described access entrance technology implementation language can include but not limited to JAVA, C/C++, PERL, XML, HTML, HTMLS, Flash, ASP and other language based on the internet.Access entrance can be used as hardware and realizes finishing or finish with other access means.

About the information of assets can exist in multiple source and system, described source and system comprise Process Control System, enterprise management system, computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), technology and Engineering Document Control system, supplier data (comprising buying and technology supply quotient data), equipment monitoring system, logistic track system, office worker's application programs etc. individually.This information can be about time frame, and described time frame can be to be short to very much 1 year or longer on the duration.Illustrative example is: for some on-line vibration watch-dog for being less than one second; In the internal check to container between the plant maintenance turn(a)round is 5 years or more.Time frame that these are different and compiling, analysis, manipulation and can under environment of the present invention, be thought " in real time " according to information designed time of taking action.In the prior art, information in these full allos is not to be brought to a position, but present to tissue in the mode that overall picture and cross functional perspective are shown, similarly art methods can cause a large amount of poor efficiency, thus to improving the tissue performance and understanding the asset management process and cause obstacle.

According to embodiments of the invention, supporting process and system provide the capacitance type mutually of carrying out the asset management process and measure their effectiveness on real-time yardstick such as the coordination and the adjustment that have promoted that by network technology interleaving function is supported in real time.Such process (pith of operation) is to be called the maintenance process that defective is eliminated, and it has solved maintenance and technology groups and how has eliminated processing factory or make plant issue in the assets in system.The reliability that the purpose of eliminating defective is to introduce and establishment equipment continues, and in making assets, give maximum production and handle the uptime to guarantee maximum income.This only is the example of an asset management process in the operation in the maintenance function scope of tissue, and this example is provided is in order to illustrate but not be intended to limit the scope of the invention to the other assets management function.

Fig. 4 has described the part of the process of the uptime performance of eliminating defective in one embodiment of the invention and improving assets.It has illustrated and can be used for successfully implementing improved original plan of reliability performance and policy definition.By obtaining from the information of scene or factory and this information translation being become significant chart, defective is eliminated team can have better understanding to what problem has taken place, can carry out the basic reason fault analysis look back, can the examination of executive control system optimizer and can carry out the design that breaks away from fault.In the prior art, most these steps are manual.On the contrary, true-time operation support of the present invention can be transmitted the consistent performance report of extracting from a plurality of data sources in real time in decision process.The present invention so provides the required information of making a strategic decision, so that shorten the time between anomalous event and the solution transmission.The present invention also can promote the unified of the suitable information that provides by several different operations to transmit, so that make unanimity, quality decision and to the analysis of anomalous event.

The synoptic diagram of Fig. 4 has illustrated the example in the front end place fail-safe analysis of the process of the right of priority of determining to be associated with crucial factory component and system.These right of priority can determine that assembly and system are to the relative influence of the transmission of product and be used to concentrate on the abatement apparatus defective and produce with influence.The validity that the defective that has the maintenance group to bear is eliminated process is quickened and improved to the ability of real-time production loss (sometimes being called as " extension ") and shut down time of measuring.Execution analysis data in real time are with the process of determining the concentrated area and be that action provides the result now.

Traditionally, the analysis operation data are manual procedure to transmit uptime and loss cause information, yet the true-time operation support that provides among this embodiment of the present invention provides in real time the analysis from the proper data source.It also allows the analytic process standardization so that for several operations provide consistent method, and provides the foundation for reference device and system performance.

In description of the invention, be important to the definition of " in real time ", because the type of employed decision support system (DSS) depends on the character of decision-making and makes the required speed of decision-making that relevant system supports.According to the character and the specific function supported of decision-making of decision-making, some operation decision-making falls into widely the time frame with broad sense.For some aspect of operation, such as the rotating speed (rpm) of operation transmitter or turbine, correlation time, framework can be less than one second on length.The time frame of hour, day, month can be about other aspects of operation, for example in-site measurement or corrosion monitoring in every month weekly.High can import the inspection of an equipment about needs to 1 year or more time framework, this may be only just possible when equipment is stopped work fully.In environment of the present invention, each of the framework of these times can be regarded as " in real time ".Human expert and/or machine experts can be used to transformation of data is become executable information and makes suitable decision-making.The time that relates to gathering, compiling, analysis, operation and response data can be regarded as within the scope of the invention " in real time " process scope.

In the present invention, can make relevant decision-making of producing in real time.The general relevant decision-making with production control of real decision-making in real time is associated in the production operation.These can be by the monitor procedure control system or by using the operator by the information that control system provided to make.Decision-making on adjustment and automatic control hierarchy can be determined by the operator, depends on operator's ability and plant processes stability on bigger degree.The scope that makes decisions can be from several seconds to 24 hour or more, with the response process parameter shift or when process is chaotic when taking place abnormal conditions.Current true-time operation support concentrates on by using so-called machine experts or expert system to improve the integrated of quality and production decision in this environment.Use expert system technology being known in the art, and be applied in process industrial and the more various application for example medical part.Yet one embodiment of the present of invention provide and have made technical support and maintainer and operating personnel participate in knowledge capture-process wherein.This process allows the structure of the anomaly trend of process device, system and equipment and incipient fault mechanism is caught, to be used for the expert system of use control system.Fig. 5 shows the exemplary demonstration of knowledge capture-process, and this comprises that the user selects to catch the choice of the combination of which system, manufacturer, subsystem and defective.This process also allows the user to search for data about special assets fast and effectively.

Fig. 6 catches an example that shows according to the knowledge of one embodiment of the present of invention.Demonstration is made up of three primary clusterings: general introduction, defect symptom and other information.It is whom that the general introduction assembly illustrates the manufacturer that relates to which system, assets, the reason of parts damaged structure (or Asset Type), assets target and the defective that write down.The symptom of defective component show the shown symptom of assets, defective the order of severity, defective consequence and be used to find the testing mechanism of defective.Other information assemblies show defective occurrence frequency, logic rules applying frequency, applied logic rules, the recipient who takes what action, defect report or warning and other comments.

Because under little skew and abnormal conditions, the response of plant processes is normally predictable, may use the control of expert system and the manual intervention that logical capability replaces the operator.Machine experts also have the ability of response abnormality situation more as one man, and wherein operator's ability is depended in response up to now usually.These also are the restrictions that the operator can form process performance, this based under some operating conditions in management process operator's assurance degree.Monitoring control system also has control and manages the ability of a plurality of process variable, but has higher consistance and wider technical limitation than human operator, to allow best procedures system performance.

The benefit that allows machine experts to act on behalf of some operator's function comprises: (1) improves operational integrity by guaranteeing the unanimity decision-making under abnormal conditions and optimizing process skew and chaotic response.(2) process operation approaches the technical limitation level of plant processes, and production increase that is associated and efficiency; And (3) come development stability by using the multivariable Control technology process of managing production, and production run is changeful in essence and be difficult to use human the interference to be optimized.

According to embodiments of the invention, also can use real-time information to make operation and support relevant decision-making based on decision-making.In the prior art, the great majority decision-making of making in the operation and maintenance support is what to finish by personnel in the Operation and Maintenance team of factory and operative technique support office worker.Decision-making is associated with response apparatus fault or the not good required action of taking of equipment performance usually.These decision-makings are normally made in real time, for operation of equipment framework correlation time be less than one second to one day or several days, be to belong to 1 to 90 day and engineering decision generally occurs in 3 to 6 months in real time, the storage decision-making is from 6 months to 1 year or more under the situation of Petroleum Production assets for the attended operation time frame.Here focus on providing real-time information, described real-time information promote correct decisions and corresponding function support team based on the action that is worth.In one embodiment, the invention provides real-time sight line management process, described sight line management process coordinated manipulation support function is also created on support function and is adjusted.

Fig. 7 shows the example of the operation decision support inlet of integrated operation support function and process.In this example, the report of available shutdown event by stop time scope, loss catalogue, reason catalogue, stand-alone service contractor's loss, this subject under discussion by who cause, responsibility assets, shutdown event report condition and shutdown event report number filtering.In case data are filtered, it can illustrate with certain form, such as allowing the user to check the form of shut down event report.

In the asset management model, each support operation assets or factory the function group can with the sight line inlet illustrate and for whole organize visual.Illustrate with this mode, it shows to tissue needs several function groups to support operation, and each group has the role of definition to play the part of in its performance.Each function has the sight line management process with influence and transfer function to the Operating Guideline function.This is that maintenance function is described as exemplary in the sight line model.Yet, recognize that importantly each support function can have different and unique sight line model and realize, this is because the character of their asset management processes.

Support the exemplary functions of running factory or assets to comprise plant engineering and structure, maintenance, plan and scheduling, health, safety and environmental services, human resources, production operation, manufacturing, supply chain service, for example buying, material, logistics or the like, operation and engineering or the like under execute-in-place, operation leader, the surface.Some functions can specific to an industry and can so that administrative model for different industry differences.

As mentioned above, one embodiment of the present of invention are sight line (LOS) models.Inlet shown in Figure 8 provides factory window of operating and the access point that shows about the real-time performance information of each support group function, for example, and maintenance, operation, supply chain or the like.Support these plan, real-time performance result and action to be included in the clear coordination that is used for support team in the sight line administrative model.It is different with the management mode of prior art, and the prior art management mode concentrates on the Continual Improvement of plan, execution, detection and monitoring period usually.

For each LOS model, the function group that can use the promotion process to develop perhaps to be associated in the suitable LOS.This can be the pith of the overall process of this embodiment of the present invention, because it has controlled the quality and the focus of function.Determined this moment the LOS of commercial function group validity, stated assets or factory clear target, challenge identifying performance measurement clearly to the function group, but described performance measurement can be used to follow the tracks of the achievement of the target of each application function.

In the example of Fig. 8, maintenance group LOS has been described.It has three main elements, and plan, action and result mark in every row.The strategy of the management equipment maintenance that the maintenance group that comprises the plan element is adopted and the performance of factory system.It can comprise describes relevant office worker's work of method, principle and the plan of management equipment performance to any threshold analysis of equipment and system, maintenance strategy, year budget requirement, reliability modeling effort with other.

Action element comprises the specific action of maintenance function, uses the correct relative real-time results that reach of step and improves performance.If cost or schedule maintenance consistance, or any other Maintenance Measurement changes from target, should have one or more specific actions to make tolerance meet objective result so.

Element has formed the last branch road (leg) of LOS and has been connected to the real-time information of measuring the performance that is associated with maintenance function as a result.Typical real-time performance information comprises uptime and equipment, maintenance support cost and the Maintenance Measurements such as ratio of safeguarding relative preventive maintenance such as corrective.These all are the gauges in safeguarding, show the achievement of the unanimity and suitable maintenance strategy and the principle that are applied to assets.The mode that the result shows can be the part of asset management process and to measure in the commerce of the cost of the performance that maintenance team is set and associated device and system can be important.

Show that by this way LOS is clearly arranged from the maintenance function to the business goal.The office worker of assets or plant manager, maintenance manager and other mandates can see commerce, relevant functional objective and the clearly relation between the actual real-time results.This has created by the visual of the height of commerce and has shown the clear action that improves performance.

System of the present invention in one embodiment also comprises real-time production efficiency model.The production efficiency model is an example of factory's performance metric.Example shown in Fig. 9 is the model that is applied to upstream oil and vapour assets, and wherein the real-time information from Process Control System is used to make up the production efficiency model.For the critical aspects of assets has shown potential performance and actual real-time performance: depots, producing well, processing plant, efferent duct are led and the production marketing point.This can be in real time for the production scene in the complicated assets foundation structure provides, and along with product through the key element in production run or the value chain, what provide that team that relevant operation supports lost value wherein knows picture and understanding.

Can measure bottleneck in the production run or narrow point and loss can be provided in real time or produce the valuation that postpones.Overall product loss or produce postpone valuation given support team lose what be worth and loss occurrence where know information.This importance is for realizing maintenance process and being basic for resource in the guiding other assets support group and the defective elimination process in the effort." loss " in this environment is defined as changing along with the time product loss amount of (or sometimes, delay), and can be expressed as output and/or income equivalent.In one embodiment of the invention, it is and so on vision and/or data output that bottleneck modeling tool provides the state that " bottleneck " in system point is shown, as shown in figure 10.Bottleneck can for example be shown as green, and this indicates this point is running and working properly, or red, this has indicated problem.The example of the reason of red bottleneck can comprise that the unit condition or the not every production equipment of process or emergency stop, limit production handling capacity can use.Bottleneck modeling tool can illustrate the problem that various zones in the process or equipment, the overall point of view of taking production run into account and sign occur in bottleneck simultaneously.

In case known the loss of overall factory, the next most important parts of taking the required decision information of relevant action in the LOS model is to determine loss cause.Loss cause may have the basic reason of growing from various factory systems and equipment or their combination.This information can arrive from two or more feasible paths, such as: the manual daily record of unused time and the loss cause that writes down by operator or maintainer; Or in real time from control system.Every kind of method in use has validity and complementary source that can loss cause information.

In one embodiment, the present invention also provides the loss cause evaluation process of network activation.May come the recording loss reason by the shut down event reporting process, this manually carries out by the network activation system, shown in an example among Figure 11.Shut down event report (SIR) process can have several functions: management allows to change the shut down event report template; New SIR allows to create new SIR clauses and subclauses; Root cause analysis; Maintenance strategy upgrades, and allows enterprise to change its strategy based on the knowledge of catching; The preventive maintenance correction; Technology changes; And report generates.Figure 11 also shows and can filter SIR by several different methods, SIR and separately data can in reader, be shown to the user such as friendly forms such as forms.

Usually record is from each incidents that causes production loss of assets with pull-in time, extended period, shutdown reason, position, product loss, revenue losses and other for information about for operating personnel.Then analyze this unused time storehouse and the action of being made in eliminating loss cause in the future by the operation and maintenance personnel to support is shown with several forms.The action that any great loss can need the specific root basis to hinder investigation for some reason and deal with problems and taked.The management that these LOS models that are connected to maintenance function are eliminated with display defect.The unused time registration provides details, includes but not limited to the date that the unused time takes place; imputable loss catalogue; send the staff list of unused time report; the source position of assets; the time that assets are shut down; assets are returned the online time; production loss; cost; the reason classification; whether it is independently to serve contractor's loss; which assets is responsible and which complexity loss will belong to; the explanation of problem comprises the factor that causes problem; which department is responsible for assets on function; the fault of after root cause analysis, finding; the correction action of taking; the title of assets focus; the any outstanding action that need take; the review state; halted state or the like.

In this mode, the maintenance management process is connected back the reason of product loss with the committed step in the plant engineering process.The process that is connected to the loss event source comprises that basic reason fault analysis (RCFA), maintenance strategy correction conduct prevent that result, the maintenance task of the maintenance change of loss in the future from changing and actual plant design is arrived in technology/engineering change.Whole process offers tissue and has auditable complete change management process fully.

Operation support group also can increase the degree that they understand amplitude, source and the character of production loss, and improves the efficient of organizing in the management Business Performance thus.

For perfect (compliment) loss cause process, can generate similar information from the data the plant processes control system, as shown in Figure 12.The figure shows the figure of shutdown possible cause of user definition time period and the production loss of response.Real time data can be extracted and handle with automatic transmission loss reason and factory and close machine information by special algorithm.

In one embodiment, the invention provides the real-time device performance evaluation.Further real-time performance monitoring can be finished at mechanical floor in the process.The understanding of the key project critical level of equipment or system during this is based on the uptime transmitted is such as the compression in the situation therapeutic method to keep the adverse qi flowing downward of oil or vapour.In the example shown in Figure 13, the operation envelope of the compressibility that the engineering knowledge of design is gentle combines with the real-time process data to transmit the real-time description of compression performance.Typical chart shows for particular compressor suction pressure of being selected by the interface that provides by the user and the relation between the air-flow.Also show compressor efficiency raw data behind.Any skew of leaving normal running or maximum performance point can be registered in the production efficiency model as the loss in the product.The importance of this monitor procedure has been to identify aberrations in property to the relative influence of production loss with relevant income.

In one embodiment, the present invention also provides the integrated management process.The one side of true-time operation and maintenance support is that commercial supporting process and the decision information that is associated are connected in the integrated business prototype, with operational issue in response and guidance system that normal running is changed.For example, the connection of making from the product loss that is identified at equipment or factory level to product loss reason or the source again to dealing with problems and the required follow-up action of definite basic reason fault mechanism.Can be in process and information/action link and integrated the integrated of business process of making that is arranged in the support function personnel of remote location on the geography.Figure 14 shows demonstration business process and the real-time performance analysis tool overall display screen to the link of assets basic structure.The user in can selection course basic facilities and use this instrument to check it.In this expression, the assets in oil field have been shown.Then can select each assets to check further data.

Provide illustrative example that application of the present invention is shown.In oil or vapour assets, as shown in figure 14, may experience the growth of aquatic products amount from the production of a producing well, increased the content of water and salinity in the fluid that enters total system thus.Can identify the growth of aquatic products amount such as various devices such as pit shaft detector or surface water container handlings.The salt branch that is included in the produced fluid is deposited in process vessel and the production line.The precipitation of salinity can be disturbed the reading such as flow metering in the container or liquid level gauge.Salt residue branch along with steam flow is brought to oily vapour collection channel, may be oily vapour treatment facility, dryer and the oily vapour disposal system of a plurality of producing wells services such as compressor etc., enter oily vapour sales line and arrive distribution system or the final user place, such as the generating plant.

In this example, the depots slip-stick artist who evaluates situation in a conventional manner can determine that the aquatic products thing whether can structural damage or reduce the recovery of final hydrocarbon.If having production loss, depots slip-stick artist will appreciate that, expection not need not to correct action.The operator of production platform can notice the growth of water, if but equipment can be handled the fluid of increase, and he understands same geography and separates to no problem.The technician can notice that the salinity that generates fluid increases, and can take local action to prevent the instrument salting up, perhaps may query such as the validity that increases readings such as Fluid Volume in the separator.The Fluid Volume that increases can increase along with the salinity that generates the air-flow transfer and the amount of fluid, and this can assemble in the pipeline between one of production platform and universal compressed/processing platform.The production engineer can notice gas compressor on compression/processing platform with the RPM running that reduces and compare the desired higher load that has, but but owing to still in range of receiving, can not handle it.The operator who monitors the gas sales line can notice that handling capacity is lower than expectation value but in the warning compass, he can not worry thus.In order to make operation overhead minimum, the operator of gas sales line can not increase any additional compression.The vapour that the final user can receive minimum is used for its equipment, and may complain in his tissue, but seems can not obtain more flow from other gas sales lines, and just wishes to finish him uninterruptedly in shifts.

Occurrence is the result that single well increases the aquatic products amount in this example, the aquatic products amount that is increased be transferred and the pipeline between production platform and universal compressed/processing platform in assemble.Yet the salt content of increase is coated in the inside of compressor unknownly.The water slug of the pipeline between production platform and the universal compressed/processing platform, or the accumulation of the interior salinity of compressor, or both combinations can cause the shutdown and/or the equipment failure of universal compressed/processing platform.The loss of compression/processing platform can cause the sudden turn of events of flow, and may close marketing channel and final user's equipment, may cause further equipment failure.Because the system throughput quantitative limitation, producing well, compression/processing platform or other assets can need to be cut down or close.Can cause the increase of the great economic loss incident relevant with safety such as such equipment failure and production interruption.

As be applied to this routine the present invention and look that various irrelevant subject under discussion is pulled in the general-purpose system that monitors whole process.Can be together but not analyze dividually such as the water that increases and salinity, higher liquid level and the data such as compressor efficiency of reduction.Will consider historical data and logic rules and, cause less relatively maintenance action thus, such as washing compressor inside etc. because the operating conditions of its variation may be warned possible salt accumulation in the compressor.By the aspects such as analysis such as bottleneck analysis and a plurality of variablees of design, the present invention can warn possible potential Domino effect of user and caution from the potential operation disruption of one or more Single Point of Faliures.
