Challenges of efficient brownfield development: architecture of digital solutions in control of well operation conditions
Current industrial trends force oil companies to revise the existing instruments and principles of business-processes structure in field development management. Motivation of transformations is based on the changes in information technologies and computer facilities, which encompass almost all life spheres. Transformation of production processes in oil and gas sector is often associated with the advancement of equipment, technology, and production, while innovations in the sphere of management solutions are overlooked. It is believed that these things are unrelated: one can comfortably “live” in the Internet space managing the technological processes remotely, while retaining the right to influence the result, and based on experience, even worse - to influence the sources of data and measurements. Specialists of Tyumen Oil and Gas Institute in cooperation with engineers and geologists from operator companies have developed a technology that is based on the synergy of experience and artificial intelligence; they created an industrial software product that solves a set of problems related to real-time management of well operation conditions and oil production optimization.
