Implementation Technology Solution for Real-Time Production and Facility Monitoring

Abstract

Fast transformation and data digitalization navigate companies in the industry to promptly comply with the new technologies. Digital electronics through Internet of things (IoT) become essential to enable measurement in real-time for production and facility monitoring. This paper offers a solution to integrate database and real-time data streaming technology to record sensors in placed in the production and platform facility and visualize it through dashboard application. The system focuses on monitoring sensor tags of flow rate, pressure, temperature, and well head properties and enable an alert mechanism to the operator when a parameter closes to the minimum threshold. This new concept development could be beneficial as it will create an alternative solution to build an integrated platform in process engineering data with dedicated database and web-based application. It enables access both real-time and historical well performance and facilities information in a customized monitoring system without additional costs. facilities are in both offshore and onshore. Each location has utilized the latest technology to accommodate fast and reliable data communication environment for the engineer in differ locations. Under this current setup, the engineer team applied a closed-loop system which led to limited access only for assigned team. In addition, a silo-ed database and data communication can be a long-time issue along with complexity in data mapping and data arrangement within database (Cheung et al, 2015). The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how a technology solution can be developed to gain access and reliable data communication in real-time for production and facilities sensor data with an integrated system to a real-time monitoring that is cost-efficient and scalable.
