A white paper issued by Siemens
Authors: Morten Ileby, Aker BP; and Edmund Knutsen, Siemens
As the world’s oil and gas industry strives to expand margins by reducing production costs wherever possible, ad- vanced capabilities enabled by the integration and digitalization of upstream operations can help in substantial ways. One prime example is remote condition monitoring (CM) of well-site equipment, especially offshore.
CM is the data-driven process of tracking performance parameters of equipment. The data are then used to identify any changes from baseline performance benchmarks that could indicate a developing fault in that equipment or their components, such as motors, drives, pumps, gearboxes, rotating shafts and tables.
