- Corporate data platform – a single centre for managing production and processing
The uniqueness of the project
It is the first industrial digital transformation project of such scale in Uzbekistan, starting from basic industrial automation systems implemented at soviet era assets and transforming them to innovative industry 4.0 assets gaining value from artificial intelligence, advanced process modelling and platform-based approach. The project consists not only of implementing various IT systems but also the transformation of production-related processes covering hundreds of oil and gas wells and the second in terms of volume refinery in the republic.
- Used software
-
· Platform - Zyfra IoT Platform (potentially), Indusoft potentially
· MES-level - Indusoft (downsteam) , OIS solutions (upsteam)
· PLC, SCADA - Siemens, HolLySyS, HoneyWell
- Difficulty of implementation
-
Extremely challenging implementation due to:
- Lack of IT infrastructure
- Lack of IT solutions
- Low level of basic automation
- Low qualification of personnel
- Lack of control and monitoring processes
- Project Description
-
The initial state:
- Data on the results and state of production is unreliable
- Reporting is generated manually and submitted for review with delays
- Information on key performance indicators is collected and entered manually
- No historical production data
- There are no modern sensors and process control systems
- Downtime for non-technical reasons
- Losses of raw materials and products
- Planning product shipment, production and raw materials delivery are labour-intensive
Target condition:
- Production planning and management functions are carried out based on up-to-date, reliable data on all assets
- Automatic report generation for any period
- <1 hour response time to production incidents, reduced downtime on all assets
- >80% of production data is reliable
- Reduced losses of raw materials and products at all assets
- 5-8% increase in oil and gas production
- >70% of production and processing are controlled automatically at all assets
- A single platform integrates all information about assets
How:
- Installation of digital instrumentation and sensors, incl. multiphase flow meters
- Installation of automated workplaces and training of personnel to work with them
- Implementation of automatic process control systems in processing critical equipment and parts of technological processes
- Installation of data transmission cable lines and deployment of secure wireless data transmission systems, sensors and SCADA at the most promising wells
- Implementation of solutions at the level of MES systems in oil production and refining (operational management, electronic journal, material balance, energy control, laboratory information system, passport of technological objects)
- Implementation of a unified data platform
- Reengineering of production and business processes, implementation of new operating regulations
- Project geography
- Uzbekistan, 5+ regions of the country
