Digitalized Well Head Control Panel Maintenance

Abstract

Wellhead control panel ensures safe operation of Oil /Gas well operations. Digitalization of wellhead control panels helps in reducing the downtime. Distributed Control System ( DCS) can be used for collecting the wellhead control panel data and to perform panel health assessment. It triggers maintenance request / short messaging service ( SMS) once it identifies fault / trip. This paper analyses on how digitalized well head control panel maintenance can be carried out and how it reduces well down time considerably.
