1 Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) as effective tracking system of goods at site: The experience of IMI ORTON for TengizChevrOil FGP/ WPMP project Fabrizio Delledonne: IMI ORTON Product Manager

2 TCO FGP/WPMP Project Tengiz is supergiant oil field in Kazakhstan, owned by TengizChevrOil. Current crude oil production capacity is around 27 million tonnes of oil per year. The integrated Future Growth Project-Wellhead Pressure Management Project (FGP-WPMP) is designed to further increase total daily production from the Tengiz reservoir and maximize the ultimate recovery of resources, reaching approximately 39 million tonnes of oil per year. SITE CONSTRUCTION: A MODULAR APPROACH Extreme weather conditions in the field Remote location Modules built in Korea and Kazakhstan: multiple facilities and warehouses NECESSITY OF EASY AND EFFECTIVE GOODS TRACKING SYSTEM

3 RFID Project Cooperation background FGP/WPMP Project identified the opportunity to introduce a Radio Frequency Identification (RFiD) and Bar Coding tagging system to support effective tracking of materials throughout the FGP/WPMP supply chain. Chevron and FGP RFID team is promoting the cooperation with the suppliers, in order to leverage the supplier know-how.

4 TCO RFID Project Scope Omni ID Exo 800 passive RFID tag William Frick WF-SM-17 passive RFID tag Transactions: - Track and Trace - Relocations - Goods Receipt and Put away - Goods Pick and Issue Locations: - Tengiz - Korea - Supplier Structural Steel Ship Loose / Carry Over / Special Tools Pipe Spools Cable Drum & Cut Cable Valves

5 TCO RFID Project Objective RFiD tagging executed at supplier workshop Completed Spools Required Mobile Data Storage/Staging Tag Association and Labeling Advantages Improved process automation such as scanning / RFiD and barcode tags for easy identification of materials at goods receipt Reduction in technical queries due to ease of material identification Enhance projects ability to accurately track materials. Improve real time data such as location information

6 TCO RFID Receipt at site Omni ID Exo 800 passive RFID tag William Frick WF-SM-17 passive RFID tag Goods receipt at site (Korea / Tengiz) Cleared Shipment Arrives to site Scan Item Barcode Verify Customs Clearance Number QAQC check to validate freight against PO/SRN/EPL Supervisor verifies and completes Receipt Receipt is confirmed Shipment Placed in Cleared Area for Receipt

7 IMI ORTON Implementation Scope On several Oil & Gas projects, IMI ORTON understood the following needs from End-Users: Increasing demand for easy identification at site Increased demand for paperless documentation Need of control of maintenance activities Objectives Improve process automation such as scanning tags for easy identification of materials and goods receipt Enhance project ability to accurately track materials Paperless documentation system at site Guidance on maintenance activities Improve direct communication between manufacturer and End-user

8 Technology Benchmark Comparison between three coding systems: RFiD QR Code Beacon

9 QR Code PROs CONs Great availability of reader Limited read range and read orientation (~20 ) Code printed on valve label Suitable for harsh environment Low cost of implementation Signal readability influenced by environment (e.g. dust, oil residue) Limited read rate Limited memory storage capacity QR Code IDEAL for control of maintenance processes: - Valve disassembled, QR code readable from close distance - Guidance for spare part handling

10 Beacon PROs Black-box: possibility of recording any kind of signal (temperature / light / humidity / pressure / slope / acceleration) Bluetooth protocol: very precise localization with no signal overlapping Suitable for harsh environment Large memory storage capacity Excellent readibility at distance up to 200 m with 360 read orientation Excellent Read rate CONs Active tag: battery durability (6 month ~ 3 years) Beacon IDEAL for logistics (shipping and warehouse asset tracking): - Monitoring of various signals (acceleration / light / Humidity) - Very precise localization via bluetooth

11 RFiD Code PROs Passive Tag Read range up to 8 m non-atex compliant with portable reader with 180 read orientation onto metal surfaces High read rate Metal Tag securely mounted onto valve bracket Suitable for harsh environment Limited implementation cost CONs Signal overlapping in warehouse Read range up to 1.5m ATEX compliant with portable reader RFiD IDEAL for identification of installed valve at site

12 Tag Association Association of Tag to valve serial number New products: association at manufacturer place Installed products: association at site Necessity of retrofitting installed products: planned after sales visits for plant walk-down. Tag Association and Labeling

13 Paperless Documentation Association of RFiD tags to valve Serial Number Smart Id mobile responsive APP through authenticated access Data stored in Cloud Security features for asset information and management: password protection of both Read and Write of the RFiD tag memory. Instant Access to valve documentation GAD Sectional Drawings BOM ITP IOM Test Certificates

14 Paperless documentation Goods installed Tag association software Customer obtains instant access to valve documentation: GAD Sectional dwg / BOM ITP IOM Test certificates Scan Item tag to obtain item information Additional info to customer: Latest news Marketing information Feedback to IMI ORTON: Valve service Operating fluid Possibility of purchasing spare parts through automatic to after sales dept. Contact names of plant operators

15 Spare part RFQ generation Currently IMI ORTON is receiving spare parts enquiries which are generated manually by the end-users. Often it is necessary to raise technical queries to understand the valves to be maintained Missing serial number lack of necessary information. Oggetto: Spare Parts - Spare parts quotation request The RFQ generation might be simple and automated; Reading the tag it is possible to generate an directly from the operator to the manufacturer. Hello, Customer [Customer Name] requests a quotation for spares of the product with serial id [Serial Number] Request type: Spare Parts for 1 Valve of Item [Item number] Request notes: Request user details: Name: [Sender Name] Position: [Sender Position] [sender ] Phone: [Phone Number]

16 Maintenance program Control and guidance on maintenance activities Automated maintenance history records

17 Conclusions Cooperation between the End-users and manufacturer can leverage manufacturer s product offering. Automatization of tag identification is a recognized need in the Oil & Gas market. Available technologies are mature and wellknown, for both automated tag identification and cloud solutions.
