1. PROJECT BACKGROUNDIntroduction

Oil and gas industry relies on real – time and reliable data to engage precise

process control in order to regulate risks associated in its upstream andmidstream activities.

OSIsoft’s PI System® is a plant information system that can help oil and gascompanies to maximize their process and production efficiency in order to faceextremely high production costs.

OSIsoft PI System® deploys an architecture that provide real – time datainfrastructure and collaboration tools to maximize asset performance throughreal – time monitoring, periodical reporting, and also historical trend analysis.

This project aims to develop and install the OSIsoft PI System® in a pilotproject to show to the client, PETRONAS’s Group Technical Solutions,Technology and Engineering Department its capabilities and advantages.PETRONAS Penapisan (Melaka) Sdn. Bhd. which is an existing OSIsoft PISystem® user will be the host to allow our team to read and extract real timedata from their PI AF® Server. iPerintis which is the technical team ofPETRONAS will be the supporting arm to handle all the connectivity andsecurity issues between all parties.

All of the PETRONAS production facilities or plants have existing plantinformation systems, either Honeywell or Aspentech. However, none of theseexisting PI systems provide the extensive capabilities and features offered byOSIsoft.

As a system integrator and / or agent to OSIsoft, Consurv Technic (M) Sdn.Bhd. notices the business opportunity. We decided to establish a team of ITstaffs and made a proposal to the Technology and Engineering Department ofGTS to kick start this pilot project in order to demonstrate the capabilities andfeatures of the OSIsoft PI System®.

Problem StatementConventional plant information systems lacked in terms of reporting featuresas offered by OSIsoft’s PI System®. It has the capability to generate reportsand custom views in its PI Process Book® component. Trends and 2D Plantand Instrumentation Diagram (PNI Diagram) with real time data can begenerated.

OSIsoft’s PI System® allows sharing of data across platform and dataavailability in real time. The OSIsoft PI Web Parts® allows content provider tobuild Microsoft Sharepoint System to share information across the enterprise

while PI Coresight® allows user to generate custom data views throughSilverlight enabled browser.

PI Notification® has the capability to deliver real time desktop alert, alarm,and / or email notification upon breaching of parameters. This will allow for

immediate and accurate decisions to control and mitigate the risks.

Also, existing plant information system has been in used for a long time and isgetting compatibility issues with newer equipment. OSIsoft’s PI system®promises new features while maintaining backward compatibility for olderequipment. It can easily replace obsolete and / or aging plant informationtechnology.

Another feature of current plant information systems is they lacked the abilityto integrate with Microsoft Office applications. Whereas OSIsoft’s PI System®

is built around Microsoft Office components to allow user take advantage offeatures they already familiar with.

Feasibility of ProjectThe project will be conducted over a period of six (6) months, which is fromJune 2012 to December 2012.

As this is a pilot project, trial licenses for each of OSIsoft PI System®components have been issued and expiry date is 31st December 2012.

This project has been proposed since the month June 2011 to PETRONAS GTSand was kick started in the month of May 2012.

Consurv Technic (M) SDn. Bhd. aimed to gain not just monetary profit fromthis pilot project but also the recognition from client as the preferred vendorfor OSIsoft PI System®. However, all costs and fees involved in the process ofthe project will be carried by the client.

2. LITERATURE REVIEWJohn Baier, Director of Project Management from OSIsoft said: “Wish youknew how to predict the future? The answer lies in the past.”

Many incidents in a production facility are repeating and / or happening aftercertain symptoms. Maintenance work or mitigation process should be madewhen symptoms that have history of leading to an incident occurs.Comparative analysis of current equipment status with historical data isbeneficial to predict incidents and prevent them.

According to “The Role of Predictive Analytics in Asset Optimization for the Oiland Gas Industry” published by R. Nicholson, C. Madden, J. Flebowitz, and R.Bigliani (2001), an analysis on the financial statements of the 5 major oil and

gas companies in the USA reveals the 51% of their assets consist of plants,equipments, and properties. Therefore, it can be deduced that proper assetmanagement will help to optimize the cost of production in the industry.

This is supported by the ERG Group, a clientele of OSIsoft’s PI System®. TheERG Group is Italy’s main independent energy and petroleum group. Theyreported to have achieved reduction in downtime and cost saving by shifting tocondition – based maintenance, which means maintenance done based onearly detected symptoms instead of periodical maintenance. ERG: “Driving outunnecessary costs by shifting ot Condition – Based Maintenance and reducing

downtime.”

OSIsoft’s PI System® is a comprehensive asset monitoring tool that is able tohelp the user to optimize the production and increase efficiency in the valuechain, especially in the Oil and Gas industry where production costs isextremely huge and downtime is crucial.

4. RESULT AND DISCUSSIONData Gathering and Analysis

Data gathered in this project is in terms of values of each tag. Each monitored

equipment will have a sensor that is reporting values to the Data CollectorServer (DCS), this sensor will have a specific tag name. The values of the tagswill be stored in the PI Server® and can be retrieved using any OSIsoft PISystem® component. The fundamental of the OSIsoft PI System® is readingthe tag values using any components in a real time manner.

Using the PI System Explorer®, we can generate and organize a tree – view ofall the equipment in a hierarchical manner. The status of each equipment canbe viewed from its attributes.

Using the PI Process Book®, we can generate a role – based dashboard thatcan view data in a graphical way corresponding to the levels of the user. Eachuser will only need to see the data regarding his / her own department; nounnecessary data will be distracting the knowledge worker.

PI Process Book® will also be used as a tool to perform data analysis using itstrend – building features that can include historical data from the start ofrecord.

Using PI Web Parts®, information can be shared over the Microsoft Sharepoint

platform to all connected users.

PI Coresight® is used to create a web portal that will allow end user to viewdata from any place using browser that support the Silverlight platform. Theweb portal is highly customizable by the end user. End user will be able to usedrag-and-drop gesture to create a customized view for needed data views.

5. PROJECT ACHIEVEMENT AND PROGRESSThe project team is now in the Building phase where we are focusing on thetask: Building dashboard using PI Process Book®.

The project team had encountered several issues during the Analyze andDesign phase where the security certificate for the intranet connection isbeing delayed. Also the tag configuration from the host server was notreleased during the Analyze and Design phase. These two (2) issues hadcaused a certain delay, but with proper control and support from the client,iPerintis, and PPMSB, the Building phase is in progress as scheduled.
