The operator maintains more than 150,000 pieces of equipment and 80 on-plot facilities in scattered locations, which can create difficulties in identifying equipment, inefficiencies in scoping and surveying, and inaccurate planning. To mitigate these issues, an internal team has developed a system for comprehensive mapping and asset registration using a digital-twin approach that will help users identify equipment accurately and reduce time for scoping and surveying physically.

Problem Statement

The current average production of the surveyed area is approximately 160,000 BOPD, or approximately 23% of national oil production. The working area covers approximately 6500 km2 across seven districts, with more than 12,000 active oil wells spread across more than 100 active fields in operation (Fig. 1 above). Each well is connected by a pipeline network more than 10,500 km long.
