In Sakhalin Energy the oil and gas production from all the wells is monitored in real-time by data-driven models. These models are based on single-rate well test data, test-by-difference data and/or 'synthetic' data generated by physical models. The system is technically easy to maintain, fast to simulate and reconcile with the fiscal meters. SEIC has two new facilities with good instrumentation that allowed for a successful deployment of FieldWare Production Universe for real-time production surveillance and allocation. This paper also highlights the key lessons learnt from the roll-out exercise and the key issues and risks involved during the implementation and execution process.

A key issue in upstream E&P operations is how to manage wells and reservoirs more effectively. Oil and gas production from onshore and offshore wells can be relatively difficult to manage, not only because of multiphase nature of the well production, but also due to lack of a continuous, reliable measurement of well/reservoir performance. Reporting continuous production from the wells and performing hydrocarbon allocation with credible accuracy is an area with many challenges in upstream E&P operations.Shell's Production Universe (PU) is a novel software application developed by Shell to address some fundamental gaps in the management and surveillance of oil and gas production systems. Using data driven models, it is designed to estimate and optimize the production (and injection) of wells continuously in real-time, based on the available wellhead instrumentation. PU provides improved well surveillance, more accurate hydrocarbon accounting, and automatic production reporting and production optimization. The data from PU can also be used for quick analysis to safeguard the technical integrity of wells and reservoirs. It is also cost-effective in that it requires minimal commodity instrumentation and IT systems, much of which may already be present in field operations.Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) in South East Asia had adopted the PU technology just after it was launched in 2004. Today, BSP continues to deploy PU in all of its assets. Implementation of PU in BSP has helped in exception based surveillance, analysis and troubleshooting; and hence has helped optimized resources being directed towards production optimization activities. It has also improved data quality and reporting. This paper discusses how Production Universe has been instrumental in helping BSP in the above operational and production areas. In particular, the application of PU in various facets of WRFM (Wells, Reservoir and Facility Management) to achieve operational excellence is discussed.

Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) has a complex production gathering network that comprises of multiple onshore and offshore Assets. Gas and oil is produced under different pressure regimes, and with varying compositions. The production from each asset can be routed in multiple ways to different customers, each with their own compositional requirements. Crude oil and gas is routed to Brunei Liquified Natural Gas (BLNG) and Seria Crude Oil terminal (SCOT) for further processing before export to external customers. Apart from export, other customers include BMC (Brunei Methanol Company), Brunei Shell Refinery (BSR) and Department of Electrical Services (DES), fueling Brunei's vehicles, homes and local industries. Currently this complex production network is managed by a dedicated Operations Control Centre (OCC). The central OCC team coordinates, monitors and controls the hydrocarbon activities to meet customers' quality and quantities demand by engaging with the 4 individual Asset Operation teams, as well as customers, to optimize production at the Pan-BSP system level. With the introduction of the Integrated Production Monitoring and Optimisation System (IPMOS) tool, the Pan-BSP production optimisation can be automated, in real-time. The IPMOS tool performs a high-level production optimisation built on top of existing real-time well production surveillance models, and it dynamically adjusts the system capacity in the event of upsets. In this way, the tool provides day to day advisory of production optimisation during both normal operations as well as during different production upset scenarios, and it also eliminates the need for OCC team to maintain multiple MS Excel sheets/macros to cater for those scenarios. This is a step forward in production system optimisation through digitalisation.
