Matrikon wins $15.7M Middle East remote field monitoring contract
Automation, Jan 18 2010 (Digital Energy Journal)
- Matrikon has been awarded a US$15.7M (£9.7M) contract to build a remote monitoring and multidisciplinary collaboration centre for one of the world’s largest oil fields through a jointly owned subsidiary.
The Middle East subsidiary, in which Matrikon owns a 49% interest, was established to procure and execute business in the region. The pilot project covers 78 wells and the installation is expected to be completed within 12 months.
The collaboration centre, makes the best use of scarce resources by creating an operations hub where experts from a variety of disciplines can access information, troubleshoot and optimise the oil field from a single location. Matrikon’s Well Performance Monitor will form the core of the operations centre.
Following the successful completion of the pilot, the solution may be deployed to several thousand additional wells.
