Oil production jumps with ABB monitoring technology

ABB监测技术助力石油产量上升

2006-03-24 - ABB Norway has acquired unique monitoring technology that lets oil companies calculate wear and tear on production equipment caused by sand in the oil, which can increase the value of production in a single field by hundreds of millions of dollars annually.

2006-03-24 –ABB挪威分公司获得了独特的监测技术，让石油公司可以计算由石油夹杂的泥沙造成的生产设备的磨损情况，这能使一个油田的生产价值每年增加数百万美元。

With the February purchase of the condition monitoring department of the oil and gas consultancy, Production Technology Integrated AS, ABB Norway acquired new oil field software technology called Insight and SandView, in addition to three new employees.

随着二月份对Production Technology Integrated AS公司油气顾问情况监测部门的收购，ABB挪威分公司除了吸收三个新雇员之外，还获得了叫“Insight and SandView”的新油田软件技术。

Daily production increases by 30,000 barrels
日增加30，000桶产量

The technology is currently installed in the Gullfaks and Statfjord fields in the North Sea, where it has increased production by more than 30,000 barrels a day. With the price of oil currently hovering at around $60 dollar a barrel, that production is worth some $1.8 million per day, or nearly $600 million annually.

该技术现安装在北海的Gullfaks 和 Statfjord 油田，使得其产量每天增加超过30，000桶。按现在每桶大概60美元计算，增加的产量价值每天大概是一百八十万美元，每年则是大约六亿美元。

“With this important addition to ABB’s oil and gas portfolio, we will continue to develop the software and services that optimize production, operation and maintenance for our oil and gas customers,” said ABB Norway Vice president, Rune Finne.

ABB挪威副总裁Rune Finne指出：“随着ABB的油气业务增加了这项重要技术，我们将继续为我们的油气客户开发优化生产、操作和维护的软件和服务。”

Calculates equipment wear and tear
计算设备损耗

ABB’s new technology calculates wear and tear on process equipment caused by sand in the oil and gas coming from production wells, optimizing production, reducing attrition and increasing safety. Pipelines, manifolds and valves that connect the production wells with separators on the platform are exposed if oil or gas from the reservoir contains sand.

ABB的新技术可以计算从生产井里出来油气混杂的泥沙造成的过程设备损耗情况，优化生产，减少磨损，增加安全性。通过开采平台上分离器与生产井连接的管道、集管和阀门，将受到储油池中的油或者气含有的泥沙的影响。

“This technology fits well into the existing range of ABB optimization systems for enhanced oil and gas production,” Finne added. “It also shows that tailor-made software systems can simultaneously increase production, reduce maintenance and enhance installation safety.”

Finne补充道：“该技术与ABB现有范围的提高油气产量的优化系统完美结合。这同时也表明了特制软件系统可以同时增加产量、减少维护和加强安装安全性。”

Several major oil companies have expressed interest in the system.

一些主要石油公司对这个系统表达了极大的兴趣。
