Through the seamless integration of the company's online environment and fluid-flow solution, SimSci-Esscor is able to offer online automated production allocation based on reconciled results.
In addition, reservoir specialists also can accurately history-match their reservoir models using real-time production data.
"Addressing the needs of production companies for real-time reports that accurately reflect production conditions in the field was a key driving force to enhancing this online automated allocation solution," said Ken Brown, SimSci-Esscor vice president and general manager.
"The advancements we've made with the ARPM simulation software considerably strengthen the SimSci-Esscor optimisation suite, making it one of the most robust offerings for the upstream industries".
The new automated production allocation solution already is being used successfully and is being evaluated by several integrated production companies.
The ARPM 2.3 solution is based on a rigorous first principles model of the production asset including facilities and production networks.
It is the only automated solution to integrate process modelling, performance monitoring, rigorous data reconciliation and access to real-time data into a single graphical-user environment, and is a real-time extension of SimSci-Esscor proven Integrated Production System Management technology using Pipephase and PRO/II.
The patented real-time system within ARPM enables users to graphically automate several processes including collecting field data, running integrated asset models and distributing customized production allocation reports.
The addition of enhanced OLE for Process Control (OPC) and OLE database (OLEDB) interfaces to ARPM 2.3 provides access to virtually any commercial historian such as Wonderware IndustrialSQL Server or Invensys ArchestrA.
By providing a high level of visibility into operations, ARPM assists in immediately correcting any process inefficiencies and product quality problems in the production process.
ARPM 2.3 with Pipephase interface is available through SimSci-Esscor distributors worldwide.
