BASIS:
Database application that stores templates and generates facilities
REQUISITES:
A standardized engineered well site, water transfer station, compressor station, or other sites.
As Regulatory and company efficiency is drives standardization, this is a perfect fit.
BENEFITS:
A rapid deployment of a well, etc. Automated are:
Graphics
Alarms
Logic configuration in RTU/PLC
Connection to Custody/Production Allocation
Connection to Corporate Historian
Cost savings for the development time (say 100hr, approx $10,000) per well
10 wells, $100,000
100 wells, $1,000,000 savings in well cost
COSTS:
Central Database is in place.
Customizations to suite Operating Company: Usually 4 weeks
Add on of a model of RTU or PLC: 3 weeks each model
Add on of each historian (eg: PI, or JDE, SAP): 3 weeks
Add on to a HMI: 4 weeks.
(This allows a template to be formed, and used repeatedly on wells, etc.)
Requires that the PLC code is written and standardized
Typically will mean that a standard is implemented. This work already exists per well, this system utilizes the existing work, and allows re-use of the work. (for nearly free!)
This work already exists, and is not included in the cost basis stated here.
Basic Cost
This is an engineered solution, and will cost approximately $100,000 to implement.
This is a one time cost, with a small amount of maintenance and support required.
This does not include the EPC costs, such as well design.
