Description
Method for providing decision support for facility management by continuously determining asset integrity
The present invention concerns a method for providing decision support for the oil & gas industry, and more specifically to a method for providing facility management for controlling processes.
The present invention is derived by combining different components for providing plant integrity and provide key operational limits to plant management and analytic systems.
There are different solutions for process simulation, characterizing plant processes within the oil & gas industry. Applicants (Billington Process Technology – BPT) own Multi Well Feeder (MWF™) is a software providing a method to facilitate the definition of commonly used well characteristics. The main parameters are Gas to Oil ratio, water cut and oil flow. The software also allows for the mixing of the wells into combined streams according to the manifold arrangement used. BPT-MWF™ comes as an extension for industry leading process simulation software.
The app is easy to use and quick to implement in any process simulation.
BPT-MWF™ allows multistage separation for the definition of the gas-oil ratio, providing consistency between the output from reservoir models and the process simulation.
WO 2012/015529 A1 describes a system and method for predicting behaviour of a physical system, e.g. well performance. The method comprises identifying a set of input variables that have an impact on an output metric as well as a subset of the set of input variables, where the subset has a relatively larger impact on the output metric. A physical property model is built to predict output metric as a function of the subset of the set of input variables. The physical property model is then used for probabilistically ranking postulated changes in the subset of the set of input variables. Well performance is then predicted based on the rank of the postulated changes.
WO 2016/089839 A1 describes a method for building an integrated network asset model for an oil and gas production system. The model is established by user inputs selecting a network model from a plurality of network models.
Prior art solutions are based on complex models that are resource demanding to establish. Prediction is further performed based on historical data and not on realtime data.
The present invention, called The Digital Asset Integrity Advisor (DAIA), is a digital solution that implements the Common Fluid Connector Protocol (CFCP), both developed by the applicant (BPT).
The CFCP socket connects fully compositional tools using first principle thermodynamics. The approach will allow oil and gas users to develop or improve inhouse solutions as alternatives to ‘packaged proprietary solutions.’ BPT provides the CFCP on top of Prediktor’s APIS Foundation for real-time data management. APIS provides a set of field proven APIs and ‘best-in-class’.
OPC-UA gateway performance. The solution allows operators to ‘make smarter use of plant as well as predicted data, either in the cloud or on-premises.’
Ultimately, the solution will deliver a combination of proven components, cloudbased data storage and a set of API’s for connectivity.
This invention consists of several interconnected actions:
- Capturing plant data in real time from a data historian. This can be made by using e.g. Open Platform Communications Historical Data Access (OPC HDA) or OPC UA (Unified Architecture).
- Using the captured data in a solver that combines a first principle simulator and proprietary BPT modules to determine parameters that characterise feeds to an oil & gas asset such that they accurately represent the behaviour of these feeds in the oil & gas processing facility.
- Efficient transmission and storage of the obtained parameters in a real-time database. By only using and storing the parameters, data storage will be minimized and data transmission load will be reduced. Recreation of a compositional vector is possible at a receiving end.
- Retrieving said parameters and running simulations of the oil & gas facility for a selected time frame.
- Using simulation results combined with BPT methods to determine asset integrity status and to produce a continually updated asset integrity dashboard and report.
Calculating the changing feeds to a process model in this way both increases the robustness and the fidelity of the predictions, whilst reducing the convergence time by more than 90%.
CFCP allows different process simulators to produce feeds that behave in a near identical way despite differences in thermodynamic models or even component slates.
An integration of the BPT software with the real-time management data platform APIS Foundation provide a practical open digital solution designed to connect to any digital ecosystem, on-premise or in the cloud using “best in class” OPC UA gateway performance.
This packaged solution, or DAIA (Digital Asset Integrity Advisor) provides the ability to update rigorous process type Digital Twins with actual compositions and rates, thus enabling high fidelity and automated feedback to plant operators and engineers. Degree of plant utilisation, performance deterioration and plant design constraints, such as theoretical flow induced vibration limits become available. We consider the DAIA data to be a better source of information for artificial intelligence and machine learning systems than the raw plant data alone.
Feeding analytic systems with actual plant constraints is vital to avoid systems bringing a plant beyond their integrity limits. Adding production plans to the sources, allows a “look ahead” capability warning the operators ahead of time to plan and focus on production limitations which may limit plant throughput over the next scheduled production period. DAIA is an open solution allowing experience and preferred options to be preserved.
The invention is defined by a method for providing automated feedback of plant integrity and key operational data to analytic systems for controlling processes and performing plant prediction management. This is characterized in several steps.
A first step is providing a solver algorithm to automatically determine the parameters that characterize the individual feed fluids.
A second step is exchanging data of said parameters. Data exchange of said parameters minimizes data storage and data transmitting capacity since recreation of a compositional vector is possible at the receiving end.
A third step is providing a prediction tool for establishing a simulation model of the plant using said parameters. Prediction tool convergence speed is reduced by a factor 10 compared with current state of the art industrial solutions.
A next step is establishing plant integrity status and thresholds to analytic solutions. In one embodiment, this can be provided to analytic solutions both on-premise and in the cloud, continuously and close to real time.
