Abstract
Several years ago, IBM established its Smarter Planet vision: to bring a new level of intelligence to how the world works—to how every person, business, organisation, government, natural system and man-made system interacts. Mr Haake will present a case study from our collaboration with Statoil on integrated operations.
Statoil defines integrated operations (IO) as: collaboration across disciplines, companies, organisational and geographical boundaries—made possible by real-time data and new work processes—to reach safer and better decisions faster. To help identify the methods, technologies and work processes necessary to integrate its operations, Statoil appointed a research and development consortium consisting of ABB, IBM, SKF and Aker Kvaerner. The Statoil TAIL IO project was aimed at improving operations at fields approaching the end of their life-spans—the stage where production rate is declining, the facilities are ageing, and the cost of operation is high.
The result is a set of integrated operations solutions based on industry standards that offer great promise.
‘Our efforts to bring more integration and collaboration to our production processes are critical to the future of the offshore industry. IBM has shown a strong commitment to helping us achieve this goal’—Adolfo Henriquez, head of Integrated Operations, Statoil.
