Rosneft Realizes the Concept of Digital Oilfield
Specialists of the Tyumen Oil Scientific Center (part of the Rosneft Corporate Scientific and Project Complex) are developing innovative software for the automation of gas and gas condensate fields of the Company. The concept provides for a two-level fishery management system, where the lower level consists of a number of “autopilots” controlling wells, and the top one is a computer server distributing target parameters to “autopilots”. Server programs optimize the operation of the production system and product preparation, substantially reducing the unproductive losses of reservoir energy and operating costs. The use of new control programs will provide an integral increase in gas and condensate production at 2-3%.
The development of technological potential is one of the key elements of the Rosneft-2022 strategy. The company pays special attention to innovation activities and the use of breakthrough digital and technological approaches, defining technological leadership as a key factor of competitiveness in the oil market.
The software developed by Rosneft is unique. For today in the world there are no analogues to systems of two-level management of gas and gas-condensate objects. Based on the results of the pilot work, they are planned to be fully replicated to all gas and gas condensate fields of the Company.
