PRESENTATION
2008 - User Conference - Amsterdam
NAM's Offshore PI Project
Nederlandse Aardolie Maatschappij BV (NAM) requires that all process data from its offshore platforms be made available at various onshore locations to operators, process technologists, process engineers and management personnel. The current operating strategy at NAM is to add more unmanned platforms in the North Sea, so it was vital to NAM to get a system and process in place that is a standard for future operations. NAM chose the OSIsoft PI Server, whose data historian plays a central role, as its solution. Emerson took on the challenge of bringing data from over 35,000 tags from different DCS systems (and from different DCS vendors) from the offshore platforms into the onshore PI server. In this presentation NAM and Emerson share what was involved with the project and how the project became a success. Significance: Remote access to real time operational data makes possible integration of unmanned platforms into an enterprise wide monitoring system.
