GE presents industrial internet solutions for the oil and gas
industry
Sept 16, 2014
+ + + The world is entering a new era of innovation known as
Industrial Internet. Its essence is to connect brilliant machines with
people at work to use data analytics to find new ways to address major
global challenges of the industry. The Industrial Internet will unleash a
productivity revolution the moment that the convergence of information
allows operators to predict and prevent problems, eliminate downtime,
waste and guesswork and improve performance for a stronger, faster,
cleaner and safer world.
With a 130-year history of innovation in
industrial technology and manufacturing, GE (NYSE: GE) is the only company
that has both the big data and big machines needed to create and lead the
Industrial Internet revolution. GE’s integrated Predictivity solutions
drive profitability gains from reduced unplanned downtime, fuel
efficiencies, workforce optimization, reductions in operating costs and
uncovered, new revenue opportunities for customers.
Oil & Gas Industry Priorities
The oil and gas industry is a priority of GE’s
as it continues to invest to develop and implement intelligent systems.
Today, the company’s challenges are to develop ways to remain competitive
and to position for growth in a challenging environment with increasing
production costs and a dwindling workforce pool.
Looking to meet its customer’s needs, GE Oil &
Gas is developing new capabilities for the transformation of work
processes by using data insights combined with significant industry
knowledge. With GE’s Predictivity technology, oil and gas companies can:
| • Reduce production interruption
with early issue detection and scheduled, predictive maintenance; |
| • Identify possible offshore issues
with solutions that detect potential leaks with sound wave
technology; |
| • Drive increased well production
by continuously monitoring the status of the well —individually
and across the field; |
| • Leverage key knowledge holders
with data visualization and remote collaboration tools; |
| • Provide a safer pipeline
environment with data sensors and analytics that alert for danger
signals. |
GE Predictivity Analytic Solutions for Oil & Gas
GE Oil & Gas’s intelligent technologies support
its customers to maximize production, extend important operational asset
lifetime and reduce operating costs. Some of the company’s available
solutions designed to help facilitate faster and more reliable decision
making include:
| • SeaLytics BOP Advisor—Collects
key BOP control system data and provides context to identify
corrective actions leading to faster troubleshooting and better
decision making. A Web-based solution, BOP Advisor grants drilling
contractors online access, either onshore or offshore. The
solution provides a health dashboard displaying insights down to
the subsystem level, an events module to track specific incident
details and a maintenance module to understand component
replacement requirements. The result is an environment that allows
the end user to leverage deep data insights; |
| • Field Vantage—Provides clarity,
consistency and a 360-degree view of electrical submersible pump
(ESP) wells—all in real time, in one format, in one place. The
solution extends the useful life of ESPs and other artificial lift
systems by providing data collection, condition monitoring and
prioritization of well alarms and events. The visualization
dashboard allows users to make better, faster data-driven
decisions so that they can focus on their most impactful wells
based on priority order. Well operators can dispatch resources to
respond quickly and proactively to potential issues, prevent
downtime, maximize productivity and increase profitability of the
entire field; |

| • LNG Max Reliability—An
outcome-based service that guarantees superior reliability of GE
rotating equipment for the liquefied natural gas (LNG) and
upstream industry segments. The solution leverages GE’s original
equipment manufacturer design engineering knowledge, coupled with
advanced sensors and big data analytics, to increase asset
performance. Sophisticated sensors detect conditions for gas path
debris, bearing element damage, blade time arrival and clearance,
blade static deflection changes and torsional vibrations that
together feed analytic systems that predict potential issues.
Reliability Max alerts operators to pending component issues
before they become failures. LNG Max Reliability assures increased
levels of machinery reliability beyond current industry standards; |
| • With additional drilling
operations moving to the subsea level, leak detection is more
important than ever. Naxys A10 is a standalone, non-intrusive
sensor that provides wide-area directional coverage up to 500
meters. It leverages cutting-edge acoustic technology that detects
both liquid and gas leaks in the subsea environment before they
become potentially costly environmental issues. Leakages are
monitored in real time 24/7. When an abnormal vibration is
detected, a warning is sent topside to the operator. The severity
of the warning can be assessed by checking the mass balance or
complementary leak detector. Subsea systems optimization provides
topside visibility for subsea acoustic leak detection; |
| • System 1 Fleet Management—A
Web-based dashboard providing a single, secure access point for
monitoring equipment and instrument health from the
machine-to-fleet levels. Through the application of analytics to
instrument and software alarms, The dashboard helps users quickly
identify equipment and instrument health issues. Fleet Management
increases accessibility and usability and adds new capabilities to
the System 1 suite. The System 1 solution enables safe machine
operation with minimal downtime by recognizing problems before
they happen. Machine vibration, temperature, process parameters,
servers, data communication and instrumentation are continuously
monitored. Advanced visualization tools provide higher levels of
visibility into overall operating health. |
