Chevron’s Asset in Brazil: Frade FPSO Overview

• Chevron has a Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facility in Frade Field, located 120km from the nearest Brazilian shoreline in the Northern Campos Basin.

• It lies in water depths ranging from 900 to 1200 meters and is capable of storing 1.5 million barrels of oil, processing 100.000 bopd, compressing and treating 106 MMscfd of gas and injecting 150.000 bwpd of water.

• 6,000+ PI System tags were not ordered;

• Several tags were created in order to convert units;

• The users created their dashboards on demand and it

was not readily accessible to others;

• The similar equipment present on dashboards could not

be easily replicated as templates;

• The maintenance proved hard to achieve;

• Sheets were being employed to perform calculations;

• The variables critical thresholds did not have a

notification system;

• Some demands requiring a fully customizable web

application could not be easily performed.

The Project Comprises Four Main Sections

1. Data and System Organization

2. Events and Notifications

3. Shareable Dashboards

4. Data Transfer and Web Applications

1. Data and System Organization: Description

Organize data in an asset-

oriented fashion, create a

more secure and user-

friendly interface and expand

the replicability potential

Installation and configuration of Asset Framework (AF) and creation of PI ProcessBookexamples

Several achievements were

attained:

• All instrument tags inserted and

ordered by equipment and

systems;

• Creation of equipment templates;

• Rebuilt system security;

• Existing dashboards recreated on

PI ProcessBook to show the novel

tools provided by the PI AF.

• Reduction of hours spent creating

a new dashboard;

• A more ordered data;

• More scalability;

• A complete overhaul of the

existing tags was made, since it

became easier to find errors and

gaps;

• Maintenance has become easier,

quicker and more accurate.

2. Events and Notification: Description

Notify the employees about

critical situations and perform

calculations automatically.

Installation and configuration of Event Frames, Notifications and Asset Analytics

Some accomplishments were

obtained:

• Increase in system surveillance,

especially for the onshore team;

• A chemical storage monitoring

dashboard has been created and

fully replaced the former

calculation sheet, spurring new

demands;

• A risen interest in other areas of

the company due to the envisioned

novel possibilities.

• Insertion of critical variable

thresholds on AF;

• Notifications association with

PI Server database using the AF

structure;

• Creation of sample events to show

the Event Frames potential.

3. Shareable Dashboards: Description

Allow users to easily create

and share their dashboards

and permit a centralized

management of its attributes

Installation and configuration

of PI Coresight and setting of

new layout rules


attained:

• Create new layout rules to even

out the dashboards appearance;

• Upload all useful PI ProcessBook

dashboards on the new platform;

• Assign a manager responsible for

the approval of new dashboards.

• Less working hours;

• Less duplicated tasks;

• More integrated work;

• Dashboards quality have been

highly improved;

• New platforms can be used to

monitor the desired variables (e.g.

mobile phone and tablets).

4. Data Transfer and Web Applications: Description

Fasten onshore/offshore

interface data transfer and

create new tools for the web

application

Installation and configuration of PI Web API and employment of other web technologies


attained:

• Conjoined work between PI Web

API, AF and other tools, such as

.NET Web Application, HTML5

and Javascript.

• Faster processing time regarding

applications that require data

transfer between servers;

• New dashboard tools are being

created, allowing hitherto

unmanageable demands to be

accomplished.

Next Steps and Future Plans

• Build all remaining useful dashboards on

PI Coresight and PI Web API;

• Create all tags that are not yet present on PI Server;

• Design and implement further demands of web

applications;

• Train PI System users in order to show the new

available tools and their usefulness;

• Shift all surveillance applications to the PI Tools.

Enhancing Monitoring Capability in

Frade FPSO Using PI Tools

One of the world’s leading oil producer and

wanted to improve its Frade FPSO PI Server

capabilities

Instrument tags not orderedand faulty, lack ofsurveillance and no dashboard management and sharing

Used AF, Event Frames, Notifications, PI Coresight and PI Web API to completely overhaul the PI Server capabilities

Less working hours spent, less duplicated tasks, maintenance andscalability optimized

• Key users’ demands were gatheredand implemented;

• Use of programming languages andother technologies to provide new tools;

• Stimulate the interest from all areas.

• Variable thresholds fully integratedand notifiiable;

• New tools for now shareable andstandardized dashboards;

• Easier tag browsing;

• Server data transfer fastened.

• Many errors and gaps in tags;

• No shared solutions;

• No ways to notify important events;

• No centered management of

dashboards.
