Chevron's Upstream Workflow Transformation team is developing OSIsoft based Business Intelligence applications to address needs around asset integrity, verification and validation, Field Data Capturing for routine duties, maintenance, steam Generation an d Distribution data visualization for performance tuning and analytics. The primary goal is to address all the basic requirements around data visualization and collaboration requirements for the decision support team at the same time provide sophisticated visualization platform for predictive analytics and diagnostics These applications are set to provide dashboards for Central Decision Support Members in an Integrated Visualization Environment and at the same time, they are extended to Field Engineers desktops in Process Control Domain and to Business Executives fingertips on I-pads and i-phones at Base Business. These applications are also available to a field operator who is using mobile devices for asset maintenance, performance tuning or simply for data verification. Chevron SJV has already assessed a value capture of well over USD 19 MIL in the year 2012 and this will exponentially increase in the subsequent years to come as we apply these applications to other use cases like Steam Generation and Distribution, Rotating Equipment, Pump Units etc. This presentation can provide you a good overview on how OSIsoft's real-time streaming data and events infrastructure in association with PI Systems tools can address end to end dashboard based surveillance needs for decision support members in Upstream with real-time run and maintain status, notifications, alarms and triggers along with dashboards for predictive analytics and diagnostics.
