Abstract
In this paper Aspen Technology will discuss some of the key ess factors for a essful
implementation of an optimiser, surveillance or planning system to an Oil & Gas Asset.
Initially the Asset needs true buy in from members of all the differing disciplines, and a
willingness to maintain their parts of the models used. To improve this buy in, the industry is
finding that it helps to build the models using the favoured tool sets of the various discipline
involved, which will naturally tend to be maintained. The use of standard, but disparate tool
sets across engineering, financial and management disciplines requires the ability to integrate
municate within the desired workflow. Recent advances in software engineering with
the use of Microsoft .NET technology are making the dream of engineering modelling
software and finance system collaboration a real possibility. The paper will review the
requirements of integrated asset modelling systems and review some of the esses and
failures of panies in achieving this dream. Aspen Technology will challenge
the industry to help shape the revolution in integrated asset models.
Introduction
Imagine a gas plant that can automatically tune itself to stability. Imagine the same gas plant
predicting a problem twelve hours in the future. Imagine a pipeline control system asking the
Operations team for a pigging run. Imagine a facility telling the Gas Contracts team that it
can’t make those nominations. Imagine the facility telling the Business Development team
that the proposed tie-back in year three will pression problems. Now, finally
imagine all these solutions executed from mon suite of software application
