The most pressing challenges faced by oil and gas companies today are development of new fields, expansion of geological exploration and searching for new ways of field production. These processes can be optimized a great deal by using state-of-the-art technologies for field monitoring and analysis, collecting geological and production information, geological and geophysical data management, etc.

Reducing the cost of producing, processing and transporting oil and gas is becoming increasingly important. Automating key business processes (including planning and in-process control of exploratory drilling, calculating drilling parameters, geological and geophysical data management, etc.) can go a long way to reducing the costs.

Effective enterprise asset management is equally important in this industry and one of the ways to improve production performance. Automation of plant maintenance scheduling, support and execution processes by using specialized Enterprise Asset Management (EAM ) systems helps to cut losses associated with scheduled and emergency equipment downtime.

IBS solutions and services for oil and gas companies:

Workflow management systems:

• Manufacturing Enterprise System (MES)

  Automated real-time system plans, optimizes, controls, and documents production processes and provides information support for making sound operative management decisions.

• Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)

  Effective asset management is one of the channels for increasing production profitability. This problem is particularly acute for companies whose results depend on continuous operation and operational availability of assets. The economic effect of implementing EAM systems is due to a reduction in repair time and optimization of support processes (integrated planning, purchasing, etc.).

• Automatic Process Control System (APCS)

  State-of-the-art automated process control systems automatically maintain specified operating modes of equipment, processing lines, and complex, interdependent processes by ensuring efficient, continuous, safe operation of the processing facilities of oil and gas companies.

• Dispatch Control Systems

  The systems allow implementation of all standard dispatch control functions and monitor the work of persons and equipment, ensuring coordinated actions and appropriate operative changes. One of the offered solutions supports automatic leak detection functions in gas and oil pipelines by several independent testing and simulation methods (compression wave methods, volumetric balance, thermodynamic balance, etc.). The solution complies with ecological requirements.

Integrated systems:

• Corporate Field Exploration, Development and Exploitation Information System

  The Corporate Field Exploration, Development, and Exploitation Information System is designed for:
  – Increasing efficiency of resource use (financial, material, information, and intellectual) and the opportunities for service companies in field planning, development, and exploitation processes;
  – Creating a uniform data management environment based on up-to-date technologies;
  – Developing state-of-the-art tools for controlling, analyzing, and planning the activities of companies’ geology divisions.

• Geological and Fluid Dynamics Simulation Centers

  A Geological and Fluid Dynamics Simulation Center is one of the most important tools for helping oil and gas companies to achieve strategic objectives. A geological and fluid dynamics simulation center is designed for gathering, processing, and analyzing incoming information and preparing analytical reports, proposals, and recommendations that company management can use to make (in their areas of responsibility) strategic and analytical decisions aimed at increasing productivity of the company’s primary assets, i.e., hydrocarbon fields. This in turn should result in an increase in rates of return, return on investments, and, consequently, an increase in the company’s shareholder value.

• Designing research laboratory complexes

  The objective of building and upgrading laboratory and technical facilities operating in a single information environment is to provide production enterprise staff with quality accurate data to support production processes of field exploration, development and exploitation.

Retail Management Systems:

• Gas Station Chain Management Systems (IBS GAS)

  The IBS GAS packaged integrated solution is designed for automating individual and chain service stations, gas station chains, and sales divisions of oil companies with steadily developing business.
