Matrikon - Operational Excellence for Oil and Gas Industries

Offshore operators oversee large assets in remote locations. In many cases, several wells are managed by platform operators from a single location while the majority of the engineering team work from onshore centers. Often, shut-ins and production declines are a result of sanding, slugging and water breakthroughs.

Because of the extensive investment in data infrastructure from downhole to topsides and vast amounts of available data, including specialized engineering well models, organisations require the ability to analyse and summarise the data in order to make the decisions that will have the greatest impact on performance and profitability.

MATRIKON™ WELL PERFORMANCE MONITOR – OIL AND GAS WELL MONITORING

• View the real-time health and productivity of all your field wells
• Identify under performing wells remotely
• Identify and allocate undetected production losses
• Measure well production against well potential
• Enhance field surveillance and quickly find improvement opportunities

Matrikon Well Performance Monitor is for oil and gas professionals responsible for monitoring field operations and maximising well production. It enables detection of changes in well behaviour, calculates potential production losses and helps identify opportunities for improvement in real-time.

Unlike other solutions that lack vendor independency and require costly customisation, Matrikon Well Performance Monitor allows for web-enabled well monitoring, by extracting summary information and KPIs from real-time process data historians, production databases and engineering well models, which can be quickly deployed to many wells without disrupting existing infrastructures.

CONCISE PRODUCTION OVERVIEW

• Continuously monitor well production and performance
• Identify and diagnose potential problems
• Real-time KPI calculation and visualisation
• Estimated rate / well Capacity
• Estimated rate / gas Lift rate (well efficiency), and others
• Prioritise operational, maintenance and engineering tasks

INTELLIGENT DATA CLEANSING

• Override corrupt, inaccurate or missing field data
• Detects and cleans bad data and spikes with field-proven rule-based algorithms
• Enables 'flat-line' and 'out of range' detection
• Enables relevant and accurate well rate and KPI calculations

REAL-TIME MODEL-BASED WELL RATE CALCULATION

• Use existing performance curves to deliver real-time flow rates
• Use well models from any system to estimate well rates
• Use cleansed process variable measurements as inputs to calculate oil, gas and water rates
• Detect inaccurate well models if real operational point does not lie within the model input envelope

IDENTIFY PROBLEM WELLS

• Map different processes and calculate variables and KPIs associated with the size and color of blocks
• Access different prioritised views of the field
• Easily identify problem wells based on real-time calculated KPIs

EFFORTLESS TRENDING

• ‘Click’ on any well to obtain a list of pre-configured trends and displays
• ‘Trend key measured or calculated variables from the well object model
• ‘No need to remember instrumentation tags
• ‘Simple, ad-hoc trending

TEMPLATED PRODUCER/INJECTOR WELL SCHEMATICS

• Standard well producer/injector schematic automatically configured by the system for all wells based on available instrumentation
• Monitor and trend real-time cleansed field variables and choke positions from a single display
• Monitor and trend the estimated oil rate and estimated well mode (shut-in, stable, unstable)
