ABB Ability™ Collaborative Operations for Oil and Gas

Collaborative Operations connects people in production facilities, headquarters, and at ABB by giving them the right information to make your business more profitable. Intelligent integration across engineering, infrastructure, applications and services ensure new insights from your plant data to empower faster, more astute decision making. ABB can improve your use of data analytics to cut costs, reduce schedules and minimize risk through properly integrated digitalization.

Benefits

• Asset Management & Condition Monitoring
  Integrated Operations Asset Management system is a common infrastructure to integrate maintenance data from individual systems and utilize it to minimize deferment with early warning.
• Information & Production Optimization
  This data can be used to operate the plant more efficiently and safely if utilized in an efficient manner.
• Operations & Collaboration Centers
  An Integrated Operation Center is an extension of the traditional control room and is designed for optimal cross discipline collaboration across the organization as well as cooperation in and between control rooms.
• Flow Assurance and Product Optimization
  Proper handling of flow assurance issues is a prerequisite for optimized production and reduced process variations.

Asset Management & Condition Monitoring

Integrated Operations Asset Management system is a common infrastructure to integrate maintenance data from individual systems and utilize it to minimize deferment with early warning. Maintenance cost is also optimized by enabling condition-based maintenance ensuring pro-active maintenance. In addition, advanced applications with real-time data provide a further source of high-value process knowledge for the process engineer to make the right decisions at the right time.

Information & Production Optimization

This data can be used to operate the plant more efficiently and safely if utilized in an efficient manner

Operations & Collaboration Centers

An Integrated Operation Center is an extension of the traditional control room and is designed for optimal cross discipline collaboration across the organization as well as cooperation in and between control rooms.
The centers are typically centralized onshore, but providing users with a feeling of being placed in an offshore situation through visual, audio and data presentation.

Flow Assurance and Product Optimization

Proper handling of flow assurance issues is a prerequisite for optimized production and reduced process variations.
The flow in wells and pipelines need to be controlled and monitored, and finally optimized. Well and pipeline monitoring is of vital importance, especially in preventing blockages due to hydrate formation.
