1. The Problem

What to capture:

• Post-drilling production wells required continuous monitoring of extraction metrics

• Manual data collection from distributed producing wells causing delays

• Lack of real-time visibility into production performance across multiple fields

• Inability to quickly identify production declines or equipment failures

• No centralized system for production trend analysis and optimization

Business impact: Suboptimal production rates, delayed intervention in equipment issues, higher operational costs, and inability to maximize reservoir recovery efficiency leading to significant revenue losses.

2. The Solution:

Architecture Details:

• FrameworX Enterprise for centralized production monitoring

• Multi-tier architecture supporting real-time data collection and visualization

• Enterprise database integration for historical production data

• 24x7 continuous operation environment

Technical Specifications:

• Protocol: PI AF (OSIsoft AVEVA) for equipment integration

• Database: Oracle

• Development: C# custom business logic and calculations

• User Interface: TrendView for time-series analysis, DataGrid for tabular reports

• Scale: Multiple production fields with continuous monitoring

• Deployment: Centralized monitoring center with distributed field access

Core Functionality:

• Real-time data collection from wellhead equipment

• Automated production calculations and KPI generation

• Historical trend analysis and pattern recognition

• Configurable alarms for production anomalies

• Regulatory compliance reporting

3. Key Enablers
