SimSci-Esscor, an operating unit of Invensys, has announced the release of a new online automated production allocation solution that includes the newest version of its industry-leading performance-monitoring tool called Automated Rigorous Performance Monitoring (ARPM). An integral component of SimSci-Esscor's online performance suite of products, the enhanced ARPM solution is designed to address the realtime performance needs of upstream oil and gas, hydrocarbon processing, petrochemical and chemical industries.
A powerful, next-generation plant performance-modelling program, ARPM Version 2.3 includes an interface to Pipephase, the company's multiphase flow simulator program. Customers utilising this interface can embed Pipephase's production network models into ARPM's flowsheeting environment, enabling simulation of a plant's entire upstream production process. Through the seamless integration of the company's online environment and fluid-flow solution, SimSci-Esscor is able to offer online automated production allocation based on reconciled results. In addition, reservoir specialists also can accurately history-match their reservoir models using realtime production data.
"Addressing the needs of production companies for realtime reports that accurately reflect production conditions in the field was a key driving force to enhancing this online automated allocation solution," said Ken Brown, SimSci-Esscor's vice president and general manager. "The advancements we have made with the ARPM simulation software considerably strengthen SimSci-Esscor's optimisation suite, making it one of the most robust offerings for the upstream industries." The new automated production allocation solution already is being used successfully and is being evaluated by several integrated production companies.
The ARPM 2.3 solution is based on a rigorous first principles model of the production asset including facilities and production networks. It is believed to be the only automated solution to integrate process modelling, performance monitoring, rigorous data reconciliation and access to realtime data into a single graphical-user environment, and is a realtime extension of SimSci-Esscor's proven Integrated Production System Management technology using Pipephase and PRO/II. The patented realtime system within ARPM enables users to graphically automate several processes including collecting field data, running integrated asset models and distributing customised production allocation reports.
The addition of enhanced OLE for process control (OPC) and OLE database (OLEDB) interfaces to ARPM 2.3 provides access to virtually any commercial historian such as Wonderware's IndustrialSQL Server or Invensys' ArchestrA. By providing a high level of visibility into operations, ARPM assists in immediately correcting any process inefficiencies and product quality problems in the production process.
