Changing Role of the Operator Maintenance


The Metering Community Changes

• Metering guru

• Lifetime employee

• Experienced

• Plant or remote-office based

• Solid & reliable

Going


The Metering Community Changes

• More likely to work from a local support office

close to site though able to support from remote

locations

• A champion of new technology

• Systems / control engineer capable of using

standard interfaces and supporting the platform

rather than the device

Now


Metering Principles in Oil & Gas Industry

• Orifice & Venturi

• Orifice on-line, real-time diagnostics available (DPD Prognosis)

• Rotary meters • Off-line remote diagnostics available from Elster

Turbinscope®

• On-line, real-time diagnostics available

Evolution of USM Diagnostics

Traditional analog diagnostics with oscilloscope and multi-meter.

Digital diagnostics with meter dashboards like ‘Sonic Explorer’, and many other meter diagnostic packages.

Integrated system diagnostics.

The Total Energy Measurement concept is Extended Data Mining

Meascon: Continuous meter diagnostic software running locally –accesible via Internet

Meascon:Continuous diagnostic software running in the Cloud


Where is My Information?

Valuable information is all around in your plant

and compartmentalized

• On-board meter diagnostics

• Process instrument diagnostics

• Flow computers

• Metering supervisory computers

• Process information

Compare with a MIS

• Consolidate all available information

• Valuable insights on how to

optimize business

• Impossible when looking at individual

bits of information


What if You Could?

Promote optimal operations while at the same time

protecting your people, the environment and your

reputation?

Solve the challenge of remote operations

and limited expertise?

Overcome ‘analysis paralysis’ and start making the right

decisions at the right time?

Unleash the knowledge tied up in all your metering and control

components?

Operate in your ‘sweet spot,’ all the time?


• Less interfaces

• Common display mechanisms

• Cheaper communications

• Better measurement accuracy

• Better Integrity management

• More efficient business

• Less interfaces

• Better Inventory control

• Better measurement accuracy

• Better Integrity management

• Easier overall business control

Data Flow: Former Times

Situation

• Only analogue interfaces

• Mostly 4-20mA or 0-10V or 4 wire PT100 interfaces

used

• Data ‘readout’ manually – drive to station and note

down totalizers/consumptions

• Data printed out – pages manually collected

Advantages

• Simplified system complexity (partly true)

Disadvantages

• Accuracy losses due to plenty of D/A and A/D

conversions

• Lots of re-calibration and manual work needed

• No remote connection possible

• Measurement losses only detected after long time

delays

• Plenty of wiring inside the cabinets

• Experienced

Data Flow: Nowadays (mostly)

Situation

• Only digital interfaces

• Mostly Modbus serial protocols and HART are used

• Data readout automatically remote analogue dial in

connections or wireless

• Manual dial in remote diagnostics possible (only case

by case)

Advantages

• No conversion losses due to A/D and D/A

conversions

• Only digital data is communicated

• Diagnostic data can be transported from complex

devices e.g. USM or Analyzers (Status, Health care

data,…)

Disadvantages

• Serial protocols need local connections

• Remote accessibility still limited

• Everything is centralized to a single device (Flow

Computer)

Data Flow: Nowadays (upgraded)

Situation

• Only IP communication used (except Transmitters)

• All devices are connected to a network switch

Advantages

• Lots of direct diagnostics possible from remote

• Redundant Flow Conversions possible in head end

systems with direct access of primary data sources

Disadvantages

• Still centralized system to one Flow Computer

• Lots of local installed devices

Data Flow: Tomorrow (distributed)

Situation

• All instrumentation have direct online access

• Regardless where instruments are installed

• GC can be at one site and be connected to 10

different sites on the same gas pipeline stream

Advantages

• Full distributed system – communication and

location wise

• Redundancies can be build up virtually

• Geographical location is not important anymore

Disadvantages

• Online connection needed at all places (is this really

an issue nowadays?)
