Production monitoring with PI AF integration and Oracle database connectivity.
Industry: Oil & Gas (Upstream)
Quick Facts
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| Primary Data Source | PI AF (OSIsoft AVEVA) |
| Database | Oracle, OSIsoft PI System |
| Development | C# custom business logic |
| UI Components | TrendView, DataGrid |
| Operation | 24x7 continuous monitoring |
The Challenge
Challenge: Implement continuous monitoring of post-drilling production wells with real-time visibility into extraction metrics across multiple fields.
Specific pain points:
- Manual data collection from distributed producing wells causing delays
- Lack of real-time visibility into production performance
- Inability to quickly identify production declines or equipment failures
- No centralized system for production trend analysis and optimization
Impact: Suboptimal production rates, delayed intervention in equipment issues, higher operational costs, and inability to maximize reservoir recovery efficiency leading to significant revenue losses.
