Monitoring the operation of wells «E-KON» system

The system is designed for continuous monitoring and processing of information flows coming from wells via wireless and/or wired communication systems in online mode and operational analysis of information for operational assessment of well productivity and decision-making on optimization of technological processes for production and preparation of hydrocarbon raw materials.

The project implementation is aimed at achieving the following results:

a) Identification of an emergency/abnormal situation;

b) Taking measures to prevent the situation from worsening and minimizing possible consequences;

c) Notifying the relevant services and organizations about the emergency, if necessary;

d) Assessing the risks and consequences for people, the environment and property;

e) Taking additional measures, if necessary, such as evacuating people or restricting access to the danger zone;

f) Generating reports on gas and oil production and well operating modes, as well as analytical reports;

g) Analyzing the causes of the emergency and developing measures to prevent it in the future;

h) Improving the efficiency of the Company and all subordinate organizations by reducing the time frame and increasing the transparency of the process by 10-15%;

Used open-source programs such as React.js for frontend and Spring Boot for Backend, EMQX MQTT Broker system, Keycloak identity and access management system, PostgreSQL as DBMS.

For collection data from well used pressure, temperature and flow sensors.

The implementation complexity of the E-KON project is high due to the following factors.

The project consists of a three-tier hierarchical structure, where data is collected and processed at various levels — from individual wells to centralized processing facilities. Implementing such a system requires robust coordination across numerous sites, managing data from over a thousand wells and hundred gas processing facilities.

The system involves a variety of technologies, including wireless communication protocols like LoRaWAN, server and database infrastructures, and secure data transmission protocols. It also requires synchronization between existing localized control systems and the new digital infrastructure.

Given the critical nature of the data involved in gas extraction, the system requires robust security protocols such as end-to-end encryption, role-based access control (RBAC), and multi-factor authentication (MFA). Implementing these features adds complexity to both the software and network infrastructure.

The system must function in extreme environmental conditions, with temperatures ranging from -25°C to +46°C. Special equipment and server infrastructure will need to be installed and maintained in such harsh conditions

The E-KON system is being developed to organize work on the operational assessment of the efficiency of through-hole hydrocarbon production, identification of factors that negatively affect the technological modes of field operation, as well as for the operational forecasting of production capabilities of wells and fields for the near future (1 year).

The system is designed for continuous monitoring and processing of information flows coming from wells via wireless and/or wired communication systems in online mode and operational analysis of information for the operational assessment of well productivity and decision-making on optimizing the technological processes of production and preparation of hydrocarbon raw materials.

The project is aimed at achieving the following results:

a) Systematization and storage of information on gas and oil production and technological modes of well operation;

b) Systematization, storage and processing of information on deviations from the target state of production equipment;

c) Determination of an emergency/abnormal situation;

d) Taking measures to prevent deterioration of the situation and minimize possible consequences;

e) Notification of the emergency to the relevant services of the Company, if necessary;

f) Analysis of the causes of the emergency and development of measures to prevent it in the future;

g) Formation of daily reports on gas production and technological modes of well operation, as well as analytical reports;

h) Increasing the efficiency of the Company and all subordinate organizations by reducing the timeframes and increasing the transparency of the process;

i) Ensuring the reliability, integrity and relevance of the agreed information;

j) Reducing the time and labor costs for restoring production operability.
