Oil production jumps with ABB monitoring technology

ABB監測技術助力石油產量上升

2006-03-24 - ABB Norway has acquired unique monitoring technology that lets oil companies calculate wear and tear on production equipment caused by sand in the oil, which can increase the value of production in a single field by hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

2006-03-24 –ABB挪威分公司獲得了獨特的監測技術，讓石油公司可以計算由石油夾雜的泥沙造成的生產設備的磨損情況，這能使一個油田的生產價值每年增加數百萬美元。

With the February purchase of the condition monitoring department of the oil and gas consultancy, Production Technology Integrated AS, ABB Norway acquired new oil field software technology called Insight and SandView, in addition to three new employees.

隨著二月份對Production Technology Integrated AS公司油氣顧問情況監測部門的收購，ABB挪威分公司除了吸收三個新雇員之外，還獲得了叫“Insight and SandView”的新油田軟件技術。

Daily production increases by 30,000 barrels
日增加30，000桶產量

The technology is currently installed in the Gullfaks and Statfjord fields in the North Sea, where it has increased production by more than 30,000 barrels a day. With the price of oil currently hovering at around $60 dollar a barrel, that production is worth some $1.8 million per day, or nearly $600 million annually.

該技術現安裝在北海的Gullfaks 和 Statfjord 油田，使得其產量每天增加超過30，000桶。按現在每桶大概60美元計算，增加的產量價值每天大概是一百八十萬美元，每年則是大約六億美元。

“With this important addition to ABB’s oil and gas portfolio, we will continue to develop the software and services that optimize production, operation and maintenance for our oil and gas customers,” said ABB Norway Vice president, Rune Finne.

ABB挪威副總裁Rune Finne指出：“隨著ABB的油氣業務增加了這項重要技術，我們將繼續為我們的油氣客戶開發優化生產、操作和維護的軟件和服務。”

Calculates equipment wear and tear
計算設備損耗

ABB’s new technology calculates wear and tear on process equipment caused by sand in the oil and gas coming from production wells, optimizing production, reducing attrition and increasing safety. Pipelines, manifolds and valves that connect the production wells with separators on the platform are exposed if oil or gas from the reservoir contains sand.

ABB的新技術可以計算從生產井里出來油氣混雜的泥沙造成的過程設備損耗情況，優化生產，減少磨損，增加安全性。通過開采平臺上分離器與生產井連接的管道、集管和閥門，將受到儲油池中的油或者氣含有的泥沙的影響。

“This technology fits well into the existing range of ABB optimization systems for enhanced oil and gas production,” Finne added. “It also shows that tailor-made software systems can simultaneously increase production, reduce maintenance and enhance installation safety.”

Finne補充道：“該技術與ABB現有范圍的提高油氣產量的優化系統完美結合。這同時也表明了特制軟件系統可以同時增加產量、減少維護和加強安裝安全性。”

Several major oil companies have expressed interest in the system.

一些主要石油公司對這個系統表達了極大的興趣。
