2 Today, Exploration & Production (E&P) companies are looking to maximize production while ensuring safe operations and avoiding environmental impact. By leveraging the power of digital intelligence, upstream oil and gas facilities can ensure safe production with higher uptime, reducing actual risks and proving regulations are met. TABLE OF CONTENTS 2

3 Introduction The complexity and scale of oil and gas assets continue to increase. In this environment, upstream firms require effective tools for off-site production monitoring, safety management and reporting, and asset maintenance. There is also a need for solutions to handle remote operations management, well performance optimization, production planning and exception-based surveillance. What if you could make sense of all the upstream data from your operations? What if you could enable integrated operations with digital intelligence? How do you change from asking and measuring, to advising and inventing? Imagine if you could discover improved processing efficiency, increased recovery, and greater safety and security for your production units. 3

4 Meeting Challenges in the Oil and Gas Industry. With the information revolution, E&P companies are required to do more, do it better, do it with more agility, and with fewer resources. The global vision is to utilize real-time instrumentation to deliver the right information, allowing faster implementation of decisions, with processes coordinated to provide innovative solutions for diverse production operations. Optimize Performance, Ensure Safety The upstream sector needs to ensure the safety of people, assets and the environment, while optimizing the performance of processes and facilities. Bring Together Diverse Disciplines and Functions Companies must leverage a common platform for operations and maintenance in order to drive performance of assets at different lifecycle stages. Make the Most of Digital Intelligence With the ability to capture, manage, and analyze the right data to make the right decisions, upstream firms can attain better visibility of profitability. They can also increase uptime, maintain safety, improve planning, and simplify procurement. 4

5 Today s Demanding Operational Requirements. E&P organizations that capture, manage and analyze the right data to make the right decisions gain a competitive edge. But doing so requires solutions to control process automation costs and improve the safety of operations while meeting strategic objectives. Remote Monitoring Upstream operators need to intelligently monitor a large number of wells in a single location, and provide performance information to users worldwide. Safety Management and Reporting Reporting and interpreting of alarms and alerts is central to safe operations. It is also important to act upon abnormal situations quickly and effectively. Asset Maintenance Companies are moving from preventative maintenance toward condition-based and predictive maintenance methods. Remote Operations Management Remote operations require integrated operations management applications providing an overall view of production assets. Well Performance Optimization Well performance monitoring and data acquisition are key to reducing production downtime and improving safety via faster identification of integrity issues. Production Planning Upstream firms seek more efficient and effective operations while reducing safety risks, increasing uptime, and making best use of resources. Exception-based Surveillance Intelligent well and field surveillance helps maximize field efficiency and resource recovery. 5

6 Making Sense of Data: Key to Productivity and Safety. For all upstream operations, it is crucial to access, analyze and present data to satisfy productivity and safety requirements. This starts with streamlining data collection, validation, surveillance and notification processes from field systems and engineering applications. Evolution of the Digital Oil Field The Digital Oil Field has evolved from digital gauges and transmitting devices for obtaining production rates and process readings, to dashboards and software for digital monitoring and operations. Integrated Platform Optimizes Decision-making Production, maintenance, engineering and planning can now be integrated to present the right data and processes to the appropriate people for better decision-making. Holistic View of Assets Improves Performance By making sense of vast quantities of data, companies can minimize production losses, improve asset utilization, enhance planning processes, and optimize production allocation. Perfect Safety Records Higher Uptime Improve Production Economics Better Operational Decisions More Remote Operations Reduce operational risks Provable safety Meet regulations Fewer unplanned shutdowns Maintenance time reduction More reliable processes Increased oil recovery Reduce production costs Extend asset life Faster incident correction More insight into operations Effective collaboration Support demanning initiatives Increase automated decisions Amplify key expertise 6
