New Technologies for Asset Management Applied to Oil Fields

Abstract

Asset management is an integrated process that aims to achieve the alignment of corporate goals, information systems capable of making rigorous and consistent spending decisions based on asset-level data and cross-functional expertise between the various business process skills. In oil fields, managing the asset requires the decision-making from an integrated analysis of data that enables the understanding of interventions in the field in a comprehensive manner. For this, we propose an approach that by building a database of technical and economic variables, procedures and engineering methods to structure the information, and alignment with organizational strategy, more rational decision and better performances will be possible. These decisions can affect daily oilfield operations, direct investments or even disable an oil field facility.
