Transforming Legacy Production Operations into Smart Asset Operations in Ecuador - (Webinar in Spanish)

To start the process of digital transformation in the oil production operations carried out in the Ecuadorian Oriente Basin, the methodology proposed was based on “MIT Sloan School of Management” and established for all the processes of innovation and product creation, called RWW, “Real, Win and Worth”. Real case studies in Ecuador will be discussed including not only production engineering analysis but also production operations in the field with a major focus on asset surveillance. Both activities require time-consuming tasks such as field trips and well-by-well analysis, showing the transformation in the way we operate leveraging the use of data, promoting remote operations, and automating the workflows used within the production engineering department. The starting point of this implementation was the well surveillance workflow, carried out at the field level because there was no mature SCADA system. Thus, the Edge was implemented with capabilities based on Internet of Things (IoT) technology to connect the different elements of the production chain. Currently, more than 400 pieces of equipment have been connected to a unified platform, including electro-submersible pumping equipment (ESP), wells with Beam Pumping (BM), injector wells, injection pumps, high-pressure injection equipment, multiphase flow meters and others, which allowed to the mature field to integrate data, perform real-time analysis and remotely control any equipment that is connected. The impact of this solution is the reduction of production losses by 9%, the reduction of field visits by 23%, the increase in the useful life of the equipment by 32% and the reduction of CO2 emissions by 22.6% in surveillance activities.
