Rosneft started the first "The digital field"

On May 21, 2019 Rosneft announced start in trial operation of the information system "Digital Field". It was implemented based on the Ilishevsky field of one of "subsidiaries" of Rosneft - Bashneft. Rosneft notes that this project for the first time in the industry covers all basic processes of oil production and logistics.

Key production facilities on the field were transferred to "digit": the mechanized well stock, pipeline transport, the system of preparation of oil, power objects.

Basic elements of digital model of the field are "digital doubles", mobile digital devices with data transmission, an intelligent system of monitoring of pipelines. Among technologies which are included by a system:

• the 3D technology - visualization creates effect of presence, allows to consider specifics of production facilities and feature of a landscape. Parameters of objects and information on technology deviations are in real time displayed. If necessary remote control is exercised of technology objects;
• the system of "digital doubles" - virtual analogs of production facilities which model internal processes, technical characteristics and functioning of objects on the field;
• mobile digital devices of new generation with data transmission on the basis of industrial Internet of Things for security of workers are "smart" helmets, gas analyzers, environment sensors, sensors of pulse and location;
• monitoring system of pipeline transport which in real time informs on accomplishment of procedural bypasses of pipelines and potentially dangerous sections in the automatic mode;
• monitoring system of preparation of oil which predicts potential deviations in a technology operation mode of the equipment that gives the chance timely to organize compensating measures;
• management system for flooding of oil layer which analyzes efficiency of pumping liquid and issues recommendations for remote control the system of maintenance of reservoir pressure;
• the monitoring system of power which allows to control a status of power objects, loading of the electric networks performs continuous monitoring of a specific expense of the electric power, defines possibilities of increase in energy efficiency of oil production;

The company expects that implementation of digital technologies on the Ilishevsky field of Bashneft will allow to achieve significant growth of production indicators and economic effect. The quantity of remotely-controlled objects will increase almost by 60%, the energy efficiency of processes of production will increase by 5%, logistic costs will decrease by 5%.

Due to scaling of technologies within Bashneft the company expects to receive in addition about 1 million tons of oil due to optimization of production and economic effect about 1 billion rubles a year.

Development and project implementation are enabled by the Corporate scientific and project complex of Rosneft, and research and development - RN-Bashnipineft institute and specialists of the block of production of ANC Bashneft. As one of key contractors of the project the integrator of Rosneft Sibintek also acts.

Representatives of Sibintek told about this project at the stand at one of large technology forums in April. Then they specified TAdviser that on development of crucial elements of a system about a year left. Everything that is in reality, was transferred to virtual reality in a 3D, including data on objects, sensors of movement of transport and people, conditions of equipment, etc. Different tools of the predictive analysis, a matrix of possible breakdown of wells are built in a system.

At the same time, representatives of the company explained, the speech goes only about a superficial part of the field so far - land infrastructure. Modeling of deposits of hydrocarbons on the field does not cover this project.

Representatives of Sibintek also told TAdviser that the similar pilot project is already conducted on the Uvat field. According to them, gradually to a new system within the program of digitalization it is going to transfer more and more fields of Rosneft.
