SCADA is an acronym that stands

for Supervisory Control and Data

Acquisition.

SCADA

®

A SCADA system host is the computer system that is used to gather data, view it, and control certain functions in the system.

This system can also be used to Visualize data, perform

Reporting, Well Testing and other functions.

SCADA System Host:

®

A Measurement system host is the computer system/software

that is used to gather measurement (audit) data, Visualize the data, perform

Reporting and other functions.

Measurement System Host:

®

• SCADA – Real-time Data/Alarming • Measurement – Historical• SCADA – Control• Measurement – Audit• SCADA – PLC’s, RTU’s, sensors,

etc.• Measurement – EFMs, Totalizers,

etc.

Integration Challenges Then (90’s):

Getting the required data Program Most things Integrate Historians Custom Production Reports Custom Well Testing

All you could do!

®

Integration Challenges Still Today:

Getting the required data Custom Production Reports Custom Allocations Custom Rollup Reporting Custom Well Management Custom Well Testing

®

Integration Challenge Example 1:

Customer had excel spreadsheet to manually do Daily Production Reports

Wanted to be integrated into the existing SCADA System.

Custom Daily Production Reporting 2011-2012:

®

Integration Challenge Example 1:

®

Integration Challenge Example 1:

®

Integration Challenge Example 1:

®

Integration Challenge Example 1:

®

Integration Challenge Example 1:

• 8 man-months – (2500 lines of code) • 2 other consultants spent 5 man-

months trying to get the job completed.

• Thus, 13 man-months * $150/hour =

$312,000

That does not include company time!

®

Integration Challenge Example 2:

Offshore Customer needed Well Testing solution.

Wanted to be integrated into the existing SCADA System.

Well Testing 2009-2010:

®

Integration Challenge Example 2:

Gather the data from the SCADA system,

Custom reporting, Custom Screens, Custom PLC Program.

®

Integration Challenge Example 2:

Gather the data from the SCADA system

Custom reporting. Custom Screens Custom PLC Program

®

Integration Challenge Example 2:

Gather the data from the SCADA system

Custom reporting. Custom Screens Custom PLC Program

®

Integration Challenge Example 2:

• 3 people – 15 month duration• 45 man-months

• Thus, 45 man-months * $150/hour =

$1,080,000

Again, that does not include company time!

®

Review:

• Program data gathering• Program Logic for Daily Production

Report• Program Logic for Well Testing• Program Logic for Allocations• Program Logic for Rollup of

information

New Model – Program Nothing – Configure Everything:

How?!?

• Intelligent SCADA?• Smart SCADA?• NO!

Relational SCADATM!

®

Object Oriented – Create/Configure Objects Device Well Test Separator Separator Tank Facility Company Tag

Each have a relation to another object!

Relational SCADATM:

®

Name Todays Oil Production Todays Gas Production Todays Water Production Yesterdays… List of Facilities

Company Object:

Name Todays Oil Production Todays Gas Production Todays Water Production Yesterdays… List of Wells List of Test Separators

Facility Object:

®

Drop Company Object on Report Assign the list of Facilities to a grid Object in Report Assign columns of grid to fields in object

Have Rollup of all current Production!

Object Reporting:

Since all Wells are related to Facilities and all Facilities related to the Company, the rollup of well oil, gas, and water are automatic. Thus, the Report is a simple drag-and-drop of information on a report and literally only takes minutes to configure!

®

Drop Company Object on Report Assign the list of Facilities to a grid Object in Report Assign columns of grid to fields in object

Have Rollup of all current Production!

Object Reporting:

Name Todays Oil Production Todays Gas Production Todays Water Production Yesterdays… List of Wells List of Test Separators

®

8 man-months vs 1 day of analysis and configuration

OR

$312,000 vs $1,200!

Savings of Object Reporting:

®

Create Well Test Scenario Create Instance of Well Test Put in test

Relational SCADATM Well Testing:

All Configuration based on the relations in the system!

®

(Well A) + (Well B) = Test Separator

Relational SCADATM Well Testing Scenario:

Drag Well Object instances from the tree to the Well Test

configuration screen to replace items in the scenario!

®

Well1 + Well2 = MainTS

Relational SCADATM Well Test:

Put it in test!

®

45 man-months vs 5 days of analysis and configuration

OR

$1,080,000 vs $6,000!

Savings of Relational SCADA Well Testing:

®

Custom Programming

vs Configuration!!!

Difference???:

®

New Paradigm means: • Faster results• Better results• Easier to maintain• More Cost Effective• Quicker ROI

Results?:
