Production Enterprise

Discover Production Enterprise

Production Enterprise is PDS Group’s SaaS solution for the surveillance and optimisation of well-centric, production processes for Oil and Gas and related Industries. It embeds a number of key innovations that allow operators to realise the full potential of digital transformation technologies.

The product has been designed from the ground up to enable operators to manage and optimise their subsurface assets as continuous, semi-autonomous processes. Maximisation of production is achieved by optimising well performance, by detecting and diagnosing anomalies at the earliest possible opportunity, and by ensuring timely and effective intervention. To enable this, processes that can be automated should be automated. Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and predictive analytics technologies are key to providing improved insights, but surveillance engineers must be able to combine these improved insights with their hard-won understanding of the historical behaviour of their assigned assets.

Production Enterprise Workbench

The optimisation of production from subsurface assets is highly dependent on the knowledge, skills and experience of the specialised engineers engaged in surveillance. Production Enterprise allows them to work closely with their surveillance system to evolve, apply, automate and share analysis tools that incorporate their specialised expertise; to codify and share knowledge with their colleagues, and to drive best practices throughout the organisation.

Production Enterprise includes a core set of well-centric, production engineering workflows and other content to help operators understand subsurface behaviour and pinpoint the root cause of issues related to production changes such as: build-up of flow impairments, e.g. scale, asphaltines or hydrates; or the onset of artificial lift or EOR anomalies in water, steam, and gas injection settings.

This “out-of-the-box” content may be customised and expanded upon by the surveillance engineer using the Production Enterprise Workbench. The Workbench is used to run, customise and create new content. It also serves as an analytical tool, providing easy access to curated data with powerful analytical and visualisation capabilities. Developed content can easily be shared with other users, within asset team and with peers across the organisation, supporting bottom-up learning and top-down dissemination of emergent best practices.

Digital Well Twin

The Digital Well Twin is a foundational element of Production Enterprise. It is a virtual replica (or model) of the physical well that is able to reflect the asset's configuration and context, and its historical and current states and conditions. It can be used to generate and test inferences about current and future behaviors.
