An integrated qualitative trend analysis approach to identify process abnormalities: A case of oil export pumps in an offshore oil and gas production facility

چکیده
Oil & gas production can be largely benefited by minimizing unwanted production losses. This can be done by effective identification of system anomalies and faults. In standard control systems these abnormalities can be observed as gradually deviating trends from the norms. Available tools for monitoring these trends, in some cases, may not be enough to reveal hidden faulty features. In order to interpret these changes accurately, measured data must be visualized as a combination of multiple sensor signals within a particular domain. This paper suggests an approach to effectively utilize integrated data from multiple sources, and defines a set of 12 fault features. The approach, in principle, encodes real plant data in the form of logical IF-THEN rules in Microsoft Excel. Confidence values are set based on these interpretations to differentiate between normal and abnormal conditions exhibited by the system. This is to provide an opportunity for the process and maintenance engineers to effectively identify the equipment‟s health based on the early identification of developing abnormalities.

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) as a Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) method is used to identify basic causes leading to an undesired event, to represent logical relation of these basic causes in leading to the event, and finally to calculate the probability of occurrence of this event. To conduct a quantitative FTA, one needs a fault tree along with failure data of the Basic Events (BEs). Someti...

Water saturation determination is one of the most important tasks in reservoir studies to predict oil and gas in place needed to be calculated with more accuracy. The estimation of this important reservoir parameter is commonly determined by various well logs data and by applying some correlations that may not be so accurate in some real practical cases, especially for carbonate reservoirs.
