Oil production jumps with ABB monitoring technology

ABB監(jiān)測(cè)技術(shù)助力石油產(chǎn)量上升

2006-03-24 - ABB Norway has acquired unique monitoring technology that lets oil companies calculate wear and tear on production equipment caused by sand in the oil, which can increase the value of production in a single field by hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

2006-03-24 –ABB挪威分公司獲得了獨(dú)特的監(jiān)測(cè)技術(shù)，讓石油公司可以計(jì)算由石油夾雜的泥沙造成的生產(chǎn)設(shè)備的磨損情況，這能使一個(gè)油田的生產(chǎn)價(jià)值每年增加數(shù)百萬美元。

With the February purchase of the condition monitoring department of the oil and gas consultancy, Production Technology Integrated AS, ABB Norway acquired new oil field software technology called Insight and SandView, in addition to three new employees.

隨著二月份對(duì)Production Technology Integrated AS公司油氣顧問情況監(jiān)測(cè)部門的收購，ABB挪威分公司除了吸收三個(gè)新雇員之外，還獲得了叫“Insight and SandView”的新油田軟件技術(shù)。

Daily production increases by 30,000 barrels
日增加30，000桶產(chǎn)量

The technology is currently installed in the Gullfaks and Statfjord fields in the North Sea, where it has increased production by more than 30,000 barrels a day. With the price of oil currently hovering at around $60 dollar a barrel, that production is worth some $1.8 million per day, or nearly $600 million annually.

該技術(shù)現(xiàn)安裝在北海的Gullfaks 和 Statfjord 油田，使得其產(chǎn)量每天增加超過30，000桶。按現(xiàn)在每桶大概60美元計(jì)算，增加的產(chǎn)量?jī)r(jià)值每天大概是一百八十萬美元，每年則是大約六億美元。

“With this important addition to ABB’s oil and gas portfolio, we will continue to develop the software and services that optimize production, operation and maintenance for our oil and gas customers,” said ABB Norway Vice president, Rune Finne.

ABB挪威副總裁Rune Finne指出：“隨著ABB的油氣業(yè)務(wù)增加了這項(xiàng)重要技術(shù)，我們將繼續(xù)為我們的油氣客戶開發(fā)優(yōu)化生產(chǎn)、操作和維護(hù)的軟件和服務(wù)?！?SPAN lang=EN-US>

Calculates equipment wear and tear
計(jì)算設(shè)備損耗

ABB’s new technology calculates wear and tear on process equipment caused by sand in the oil and gas coming from production wells, optimizing production, reducing attrition and increasing safety. Pipelines, manifolds and valves that connect the production wells with separators on the platform are exposed if oil or gas from the reservoir contains sand.

ABB的新技術(shù)可以計(jì)算從生產(chǎn)井里出來油氣混雜的泥沙造成的過程設(shè)備損耗情況，優(yōu)化生產(chǎn)，減少磨損，增加安全性。通過開采平臺(tái)上分離器與生產(chǎn)井連接的管道、集管和閥門，將受到儲(chǔ)油池中的油或者氣含有的泥沙的影響。

“This technology fits well into the existing range of ABB optimization systems for enhanced oil and gas production,” Finne added. “It also shows that tailor-made software systems can simultaneously increase production, reduce maintenance and enhance installation safety.”

Finne補(bǔ)充道：“該技術(shù)與ABB現(xiàn)有范圍的提高油氣產(chǎn)量的優(yōu)化系統(tǒng)完美結(jié)合。這同時(shí)也表明了特制軟件系統(tǒng)可以同時(shí)增加產(chǎn)量、減少維護(hù)和加強(qiáng)安裝安全性。”

Several major oil companies have expressed interest in the system.

一些主要石油公司對(duì)這個(gè)系統(tǒng)表達(dá)了極大的興趣。
