Real-Time Production Optimization Solutions for Oil Field Automation Overview

eP's Real-Time Optimization provides a complete solution for gathering and analyzing data so that better decisions can be made. Collecting data from a variety of sources in the field assures that all pertinent information is available for analysis. The data can then be analyzed by using sophisticated analytical tools. Finally, the organization is able to have the right people collaborate with the proper information on production operation decisions.

eP Solutions vs. SCADA

Typical SCADA systems involve defining end devices needed, configuring remote terminal units (RTU), and choosing the communication system. Then, the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) software must be designed and programmed. Once that is completed, the entire system can be commissioned.

eP goes beyond the typical SCADA by adding well site and desktop intelligence. The controller at the wellhead and the software on the desktop work together to perform advanced analysis and precise control of the well.

Rather than rebuilding a solution for each installation, the integrated eP solution is functional and ready to go "out of the box" with only minor configuration. That means that you are up and running faster. In addition, the solution includes benefits from ideas that other companies have suggested. eP's solution approach assures minimal maintenance to the system and provides for user configuration changes for more efficient operations.

eP includes analysis capabilities in the software solutions. Rather than use one tool for gathering the data (SCADA) and a separate tool or tools for analyzing the data, eProduction Solutions combines the two functions into one integrated solution.

Well Life Cycle Optimization

eP provides a comprehensive solution for the entire life of the well. The solution is designed to insure that the information and analysis of the well is current, accurate, and pertinent. For each action in well optimization, eP provides a solution. Because these solutions are integrated together, you are able to simplify sophisticated well optimization.

Total Field Optimization

eP goes beyond providing individual well automation systems. eP is able to provide you with a total solution that allows you to operate your fields optimally with solutions for each of the processes for field optimization. Pulling all the information together in meaningful, easy-to-use formats means that you are able to use technology to reduce costs, enhance production, and ultimately increase profits substantially.
