Utilization of digital technologies to enhance the operational efficiencies of production wells
Journal of the Japanese Association for Petroleum Technology(2019)
Abstract
Digital technology has a strong potential to transform our business process and enhance the operational efficiencies in oil and gas industries. INPEX has been exploring the applicability of various digital technologies, such as machine learning, deep learning, big data analytics, internet of things (IoT) and robotics etc. since early 2018 as part of 2018-2022 Technology roadmap strategy. This paper describes the one of current domestic projects, which aim is the visualization & optimization of the production well performance. This project has been executed to the oldest oil field in Japan, located in the Akita prefecture. The passion of the project is not only to increase hydrocarbon productivities, but also to reduce the operating expense (OPEX)/bbl. In addition, the paper includes INPEX digital transformation(DX) strategy & lessons learnt from various proof of concept (PoC) projects, which we have also conducted since the beginning of 2018.
