Recently, at the 2023 China Digitalization Annual Conference, Mr. Liang Yulei, Deputy Director of the Intelligent Operation Center of PetroChina Tarim Oilfield Company, shared the innovation and practice of the digital and intelligent production command system of the oilfield in combination with the "Tarim Oilfield Intelligent Operation Center".
Tarim Oilfield Company is a subsidiary of China National Petroleum Corporation, mainly engaged in oil and gas exploration, development, new energy and other businesses in the Tarim Basin of Xinjiang. In 2019, in accordance with the unified deployment of PetroChina's "Digital Intelligence PetroChina", with the goal of supporting the increase of reserves and production, improving quality and efficiency, controlling risks, benefiting employees, and building a 30 million ton modern large oil and gas field, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, mobile Internet and other new digital technologies were widely applied, the top-level design of the digital oilfield was formulated, and the "three-step" implementation roadmap of laying the foundation, strengthening the application and intelligent operation was planned.
In the past five years, Tarim Oilfield has accelerated the pace of digitalization to intelligence, with the goal of reducing labor and employment, reducing safety risks, improving work efficiency, and improving intrinsic safety, accelerating the pilot construction of the Group's digital transformation and intelligent development, accumulating and mastering 85 digital intelligence technologies in 9 categories, consolidating 6 information basic support capabilities, and empowering the digital and intelligent transformation of 9 major businesses.
Based on the company's flat institutional reform and digital transformation strategy, Tarim Oilfield has built a digital and intelligent production command system with the intelligent operation center as the core with the overall goal of "real-time perception of the whole business, monitoring and early warning of the whole process, all-round scheduling and control, and advanced leap of the whole chain" based on the company's flat institutional reform and digital transformation strategy, focusing on the positioning of "production dispatch center, safety control center, and emergency command center", and with the overall goal of "real-time perception of the whole business, monitoring and early warning of the whole process, all-round scheduling and control, and advanced leap of the whole chain". The intelligent operation center of Tarim Oilfield realizes full coverage and control of basic production units and production factors of various businesses.
The intelligent operation center of Tarim Oilfield builds a structure according to the four layers of information collection, transmission, storage and application, develops and applies six aspects of business such as production, oil and gas production, transportation, storage and marketing, production guarantee, safety management and control, and emergency management, and improves various business efficiency through digital empowerment means such as advanced forms, information collection, monitoring and early warning, and auxiliary analysis.
In the process of improving the digital infrastructureComprehensively improve the construction of digital infrastructure such as automatic control, dynamic monitoring, remote monitoring, and communication networks, and the production site perception and control capabilities have reached the industry's first-class, providing basic support for the intelligent operation center to be visual, monitored, and adjustable on the site.
In the process of building a digital and intelligent production command software platformFor 68 production command related businesses in 6 categories, we have developed and built an intelligent production and emergency command platform composed of 111 functional modules with "PC, large screen, and mobile" three-end collaboration, giving full play to the top advantages, comprehensively breaking through the barriers between 11 business fields and 3 levels, strengthening the integration and application of cross-professional data, and covering the application range from the company level to the grassroots site, so as to realize the integrated control of oilfield production command.
In the process of implementing the digital and intelligent production control modelThe command and dispatch business implements online operation, the whole process of key scheduling and control such as winter supply guarantee, major construction, and device maintenance is supported by the best linkage, and the balance management of production, transportation, storage and marketing relies on intelligent auxiliary decision-making, centralized remote supervision of high-risk operations, and the production command as a whole changes from manual management to "manual + machine" collaborative management mode, and from experience management to data-driven management.
In the process of promoting production controlMore refined and efficient, the scope of control from the company level and secondary units to the grassroots team, key single wells, key devices, and key operations are vertically controlled, and the whole business chain is horizontally controlled from surface to pointThe reporting of production abnormalities has changed from grassroots level to synchronous perception and active interventionThe scope of responsibilities of each manager is expanded, and the management granularity is more detailed.
Through the construction and improvement of the intelligent operation center, it has strongly supported the company's efficient development model with fewer people, and the "three consecutive decreases" in the employment of one million tons of oilfield and the "three consecutive increases" in the labor productivity of all employees, so as to increase production and efficiency without increasing personnel, relying on the intelligent operation center, Tarim Oilfield has become the first enterprise in the domestic oil and gas upstream industry to realize the digital control of the whole business chain. It has made a successful demonstration for the digital and intelligent transformation of the petrochemical industry, and provided specific results that can be directly reused and referenced, which is of great significance for promoting the quality and efficiency improvement of the whole industry.
Finally, Mr. Liang Yulei said that in the future, Tarim Oilfield Company will continue to deepen the application of the platform and realize the launch of all elements related to production and operation businessIn the construction of digital projects, it is necessary to adhere to "business-led and information-coordinated".Business departments need to improve their position, identify pain points, develop transformation plans, optimize processes and standardization, and play multiple roles at all stages of the project. The information department needs to follow the top-level design, integrate requirements, deeply integrate technology and business, and prepare high-quality solutions. Good digital products must continue to give "vitality" and vitality through applications, drive the commercialization of data, enhance the value of information business, gradually realize the transformation from "usable" to "easy to use", and truly use information and digital technology to empower high-quality business development.
