Transforming a Mature Gas Field: Achieving Dynamic Network Optimization

Facing aging infrastructure, declining production rates, and the immense challenge of handling massive daily data volumes, a global upstream operator managing a mature onshore gas field found traditional methods falling short. Delayed decisions and suboptimal field performance were the inevitable results.

Xecta provided a comprehensive solution by creating a cognitive digital twin of the operator’s assets. This innovation enabled continuous, automated monitoring and optimization, covering everything from reservoirs to surface networks. With this advanced approach, the operator transformed their operations, achieving significant improvements in efficiency and performance.

In this case study, we delve into how the partnership with Xecta and the deployment of our Production Surveillance & Optimization technology brought about this transformation. Upstream companies seeking practical applications of digital transformation will find valuable insights into overcoming common challenges in conventional fields. The study offers a look at the technical strategies employed to meaningfully enhance operational efficiency.
