Abu Dhabi Company for Onshore Oil Operation (ADCO) chose a green field to pioneer intelligent field technologies. This paper describes the development and implementation of Field Data Integration system (FDIS), Integrated Asset Operations Model (IAOM), Collaboration Work Environment (CWE) with focus on essential role of the real-time data to empower and enable different work processes and activities.

An integrated model of the reservoir performance, production and injection wells and surface facilities was built and connected with the real time data. The online system become the main tool to help optimize reservoirs, wells and plant performance with access to all users to a web based real time data that encouraged faster decision making and improvement of reservoir management and full system performance.

As a result, a significant implication took place in IT where field and Head quarter interact on daily basis in terms of people and technology which become critical to align the strategies. The plan of IT and asset both at HQ & field to achieve the optimum performance and technology objectives set focus on people competency, infrastructure and service quality.
