Abstract Samarang is an oil field located offshore Sabah, Malaysia. The field was developed in 1975 and comprises wellhead, production and gas compression platforms, as well as personnel living quarters. The majority of the platforms have fully pneumatic instrumentation / control and shutdown systems, with no provision for remote monitoring/control. The field is undergoing a major redevelopment project that consists of two phases: Phase 1: revisit two drilling platforms with the scope of drilling five new dual completion wells from SMDP-B and SMJT-F platforms. Phase 2: implement EOR phase, GASWAG (Gravity Assisted Simultaneous Water And Gas injection) in two of the three main reservoirs as well as waterflood in the third reservoir and reactivate existing wells. As part of the redevelopment plan, Samarang was the first field selected for an end-to-end asset management Integrated Operations (IO) project. Its implementation deliver objective and focus at the whole of the asset operation optimization through increased level of monitoring and surveillance, diagnosis, optimization and operations transformation in a way that fits PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB) current IO state as well as future expansion plans. The IO program aims to help Samarang to address growth, organization and environmental challenges by integrating new transformational technologies with streamlined work processes, enabling: an effective working environment streamlined and automated work processes the availability & accessibility of quality information across the organization collaboration of expertise across multiple locations, teams and domains intelligent alarms and alerts for continuous asset awareness an increased in hydrocarbon production and recovery. Since commissioning of the project, we have reported the lesson learned and early benefits in various SPE conferences. A summary of reported benefits are as follows An innovative parallel design process was invented to improve the efficiency and integrity of the design process An IO model was described and defined for framing, planning, design and execution of the project Heightened monitoring and surveillance through installation and retrofitting of measurements and control devices, telemetry and telecommunication infrastructure, HMI (human-machine-interface) and surveillance system Introduction of “Functional Base with Asset Mindset” collaborative working environment across multiple locations, team and domains Total asset optimization hybrid of steady-state and transient-state flow simulation technologies Quality and efficiency improvement in terms of decision making cycle from months to a daily Work efficiency improvement by more than 80% of staff time saving Consistent value creation with production impact more than 10,000 bopd since Phase I commissioning Being the first field selected for IO implementation means that best practices, lessons learned; processes and procedures, frameworks and operating philosophy garnered during this IO implementation will serve as invaluable references for IO implementation in other assets. This paper describes the reusability and repeatability of the Samarang IO process and its procedures, the inventorization of deliverables and how these could be leveraged and scaled up for application to other assets (or a larger scale implementation).

Abstract Recent studies observe drilling optimization in real-time, however, among the investigated references, there is no practice working with pump pressure prediction by considering formation variables such as depth and independent parameters like Revolutions Per Minute (RPM), Hook Load. Reliable prediction of pump pressure provides an early warning of circulation problems, washout, underground blowout, and kicks helping the driller to make corrections and to safely avoid major problems. Throughout this particular study, an Artificial Neural Network model was implemented through the fitting tool of MATLAB. This model can accurately predict pump pressure versus depth in similar formations. Following the determination of the optimum model the sensitivity analysis of input parameters on the created model was investigated, an overall ranking of sensitivity degree was then provided to show the impact of each individual input parameter on this model. The simulation result was promising. Therefore, the result of this work shows the potential of a neural network approach to model the hydraulic behavior in a well. Hopefully, this work can be included in a software system which can be used in drilling planning and real-time operation of oil and gas wells in the related field that can result in decreasing Non Productive Time.

Abstract Federal safety and environmental guidelines, as well as the internal industrial safety regulations of Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX), require that all of the operative knowledge, such as procedures, technical manuals and best-practices concerning prevention and reduction of workplace accidents, be a mandatory part of the material available to workers in dangerous and risky areas, ranging from an oil rig or an offshore platform, to a maintenance workshop. Traditionally, this material has been distributed in paper and stored wherever there was space available in the site. However, this method presents several logistical challenges: the huge amount of material; the very limited space available to store it; the difficulty in updating the material; and the amount of time needed to find specific information within the thousand of pages to browse through. Now, multiply those issues by 300, which is the approximate number of PEMEX operative installations in the country as of this writing. This led to a lax enforcement of the best practices and a generally soft safety culture within the workforce. In cooperation with PEMEX, and following the internal guidelines for the requirements of a solution, a fully integrated and digital service was developed to supplant this process, compliant with the established international safety standards to ensure a safe working environment, and providing PEMEX with a tool to extract new business intelligence that they would otherwise not be able to mine. The solution has been implemented in PEMEX for several years now. This implementation has correlated with a reduction in the number of accidents occurring in the workplace, whether that workplace is a drilling well, an offshore platform or maintenance workshop. The associated reduction in costs has also been observed, while also reducing the more traditional costs concerning logistics and stationary. As a result, the solution has been a siginificant and ubiquitous presence in most PEMEX drilling, extracting and maintenance installations. In this paper, we present in full this integrated service, a general description of how it solves the different existing problems, and what it has accomplished.

Abstract: Based in Stavanger, Norway, StatoilHydro Subsurface Support Centre (SSC), provides support to the drilling and well operations in the company. The SSC is a hub for communication of knowledge between professional networks and the operational assets. The team work closely on drilling and well operational issues together with the operational assets within the company and contributes to experience transfer across the organisation. This gives the SSC team a unique opportunity to evaluate experiences and share the knowledge obtained. Every day 40–50 drilling and well operations are ongoing and the SSC is involved both in the planning and operational phases of these operations. The main goal is to work proactively, by being involved early in the planning phase of each operation, hence contributing to reducing incidents and non productive time by doing things right the first time. Real-time and memory data from all ongoing drilling and well operations in the company are available for the SSC team and are used both for monitoring of critical operations as well as for statistical and operational analyses to improve long term quality of the operations. The technical collaboration systems in the SSC are suitable to manage collaboration, independent of different office and installation locations in the company. The SSC has become an integrated part of the new organisation. The SSC is well known within the company and is involved in several operational and pre-operational cases every day. Many of the established key factors regarding Integrated Operations (IO) such as working in collaboration rooms, multidisciplinary teams, independence of physical location and decisions based on real-time data are incorporated in the work processes being performed in the SSC. The SSC has introduced new work processes in the organisation contributing to increased efficiency and availability of expertise within the company. The work processes ensure high quality multidisciplinary discussions which enhances the quality of the recommendations to the operational assets. Both discipline expertise and operational assets within the company are spread over several locations in Norway and internationally. It is crucial to ensure involvement of the correct expertise at the right time to achieve safe and efficient operations. The SSC is an important part of the total development of IO for drilling and well operations and has been recognized for its innovative work processes and for providing efficient service. The SSC has been recognized as a valuable asset and has become an important supplier of knowledge within the company.
