..., a mathematical model of the relevant measurement is created using the other measurements available. This model represents the equipment or plant as a unit when it is operating as it should. Second, this expected value is compared to the measured value. If they agree, the current state is healthy. If they do...

... emerged in the areas of Cybersecurity and Manageability. This paper demonstrates how cyber security can be adopted into existing IFI systems and be an integral part of IFI deployment plan. It will attempt to identify intelligent field cyber security risk, look into available solutions, and evaluate...

... cognisance of what it takes to get there. “How to leverage the available technology for the greatest gain in operational & organisational efficiency” is the fundamental question in order to maximise availability and reliability. The blasé approach is to get “competent people to do the right thing...

... the optimisation of offshore man-hours and maximization of availability, through the elimination or simplification of equipment and processes in order to minimise complexity. Project discipline is required to ensure the inclusion of only justified equipment to meet the required functionality and negate...

... to generate flow paths that permit economic production. Water has become the default carrier fluid required to transport proppant required in fracking because of its relative ease of handling, low cost and wide availability. Managing the logistics of water in the supply chain can be a complex and challenging...

... management which includes several availability and quality checks in addition to massive real-time data handling. Saudi Aramco has developed and implemented several intelligent field standards, specifications and guidelines to treat and manage the huge real-time data in terms of integrity, quality...

... to as the Intelligent Field (or its many other synonyms like Smart Field, Digital Oil Field of the Future [DOFF], etc.). The developments in sensor technologies made hardware easily accessible, while improvements in the reliability of the network and IT infrastructure increased data availability. Furthermore...
