The Impact:
Significant transformations were realized in several key areas during the project implementation. The enhancement of gas field performance monitoring was achieved through the deployment of upgraded Distributed Control System (DCS) infrastructure and OmniConnect™.
This upgrade facilitated a more robust and efficient monitoring system. Additionally, the establishment of remote site monitoring capabilities empowered headquarter teams with real-time oversight, enabling proactive decision-making. Engineers were equipped with enhanced access to Operational Technology (OT) data for maintenance and analytics, contributing to a more informed decision-making process. These advancements collectively underscored the project’s impact on optimizing operations and bolstering the overall efficiency of the system.
Consolidated data, automated OEE calculations, and data-driven insights not only addressed their challenges but showed 10% improvement in availability, 10% improvement in performance, and 6% improvement in product quality.
