Abstract

Gazprom Neft Science and Technology Center tailors various system engineering methods and other practices to the agenda of oil and gas industry. Resulting consistent approaches will produce a sort of work book enabling management of complex projects throughout the Upstream perimeter. Value-Driven Engineering is a strategic approach to system engineering that optimizes several disciplines within a single model. For example, complex project components are broken down into simpler elements, making it easier to find responsible action officers. Planning is broken down into phases that make it easier to meet the assigned deadlines. It allows you to fragmentize the end product at the design and management phase with a view to edit the product's configuration during the work. Essentially, the VDE approach best resembles a step-by-step guide to putting together a construction made up of multiple elements: without this guide, building the elements into one piece is a much harder job. System engineering is being successfully employed by NASA and aircraft industry today. The approach helps bring together numerous correlated technologies in spacecraft and aircraft building. In the oil industry, BP and Shell are the pioneers in using VDE. Seeking to tailor the system engineering approaches to the applied problems of Gazprom Neft, the Company engineers deliver work in several stages. Stage one is a look back study of projects that covers all the aspects of oil production, from seismic survey to field operation. To build the optimal concept, a project team studies special literature and existing practices in related sectors, essentially among foreign counterparts. The Company has already analyzed the existing research breakthroughs, best practices and digital tools. Even though VDE will chiefly focus on the development of new reservoirs, its individual practices may be successfully utilized at existing assets. Oil and gas production system is growing more complex every day because of the number of control elements and uncertainties that the oil and gas Company has to face at the early stages of planning a future asset. Development of each product, from concept to final implementation, involves a number of lifecycle stages; the sequence of these stages and the necessary toolkit for each stage is identified by the area of expertise known as system engineering. System engineering works perfectly if a certain product or system has existing equivalents, but engineers today may have to handle their tasks in absence of equivalent solutions, which necessitates engagement of creative competences. Development of such competences and inventive problem solving are in the focus of the area of expertise known as creative problem solving that relies on the TRIZ methods (TRIZ = theory of inventive problem solving). Technology intelligence is the area of expertise that focuses on aggregation of experience and employment of solutions from related industries or even from fundamental science. It allows engineering teams to work in an orderly and consistent fashion to find appropriate solutions in nature or in other areas of expertise and to accumulate such solutions in the Company's knowledge cloud. Development of complex systems and products, which include reservoir management, requires multidisciplinary engineering teams. An area of expertise known as team leadership is designed to make collaboration among team members more efficient. Value-Driven Engineering (VDE) is premised on the fundamental principles of systematic thinking of an engineer and human creativity. The conceptual framework of Value-Driven Engineering is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 Conceptual framework of Value-Driven Engineering The concept involves four key areas of expertise: System engineering, i.e. the set of practices to control the technological system/product development process; Inventive problem solving, i.e. the methods and tools used to catalyze creative competence and problem solving skills; Technology intelligence, i.e. management of comprehensive scouting for human resources and new technologies; Team leadership, i.e. step-by-step guide to transform a group of specialists into a successful team by means of identifying the optimal team size and balance of roles and building a leadership system (goal, mission). This article provides a detailed outlook on the above methods and practices of tackling the challenges faced by the oil and gas industry.
迎接技术挑战的革命性方法
Gazprom Neft科技中心根据石油和天然气行业的议程量身定制各种系统工程方法和其他实践。结果一致的方法将产生一种工作簿,能够管理整个上游范围内的复杂项目。价值驱动工程是一种系统工程的战略方法,它在单个模型中优化多个学科。例如,将复杂的项目组成部分分解为更简单的元素,从而更容易找到负责任的行动官员。计划被分解成几个阶段,这样更容易在指定的截止日期前完成。它允许您在设计和管理阶段分割最终产品,以便在工作期间编辑产品的配置。从本质上讲,VDE方法最类似于将由多个元素组成的构造组合在一起的分步指南:没有这个指南,将元素构建成一个整体是一项更加困难的工作。今天,系统工程正成功地应用于美国国家航空航天局和航空工业。这种方法有助于将航天器和飞机制造中的许多相关技术结合在一起。在石油行业,英国石油公司和壳牌公司是使用VDE的先驱。为了针对Gazprom Neft的应用问题量身定制系统工程方法,公司工程师分几个阶段交付工作。第一阶段是对项目的回顾研究,涵盖了石油生产的各个方面,从地震勘探到现场作业。为了构建最优概念,项目团队研究了相关领域的特殊文献和现有实践,主要是国外同行。该公司已经分析了现有的研究突破、最佳实践和数字工具。尽管VDE将主要侧重于新油藏的开发,但其个别做法也可能成功地应用于现有资产。由于油气公司在规划未来资产的早期阶段必须面对大量的控制元素和不确定性,油气生产系统变得越来越复杂。每个产品的开发,从概念到最终实施,涉及许多生命周期阶段;这些阶段的顺序和每个阶段所需的工具包由称为系统工程的专业领域确定。如果某个产品或系统有现有的等同物,系统工程就可以完美地工作,但是今天的工程师可能不得不在没有等同的解决方案的情况下处理他们的任务,这就需要创造性能力的参与。这种能力的发展和创造性解决问题的能力是依靠TRIZ方法(TRIZ =创造性解决问题理论)的创造性解决问题的专业领域的重点。技术智能是一个专业领域,专注于从相关行业甚至基础科学中收集经验和解决方案。它允许工程团队以有序和一致的方式工作,以在自然界或其他专业领域找到适当的解决方案,并在公司的知识云中积累此类解决方案。复杂系统和产品的开发,包括油藏管理,需要多学科的工程团队。一个被称为团队领导的专业领域旨在使团队成员之间的协作更有效。价值驱动工程(VDE)是以工程师系统思维和人类创造力的基本原则为前提的。价值驱动工程的概念框架如图1所示。图1价值驱动工程的概念架构该概念涉及四个关键的专业领域:系统工程,即控制技术系统/产品开发过程的一套实践;创造性地解决问题,即用于促进创造性能力和解决问题技能的方法和工具;技术智能,即人力资源和新技术的综合发掘管理;团队领导力,即通过确定最佳团队规模和角色平衡,建立领导系统(目标,任务),逐步指导一群专家转变为一个成功的团队。本文将详细介绍上述方法和实践,以应对石油和天然气行业面临的挑战。
