To develop the world’s first integrated environmental monitoring system aimed at helping oil and gas companies minimize the environmental impact of their operations, the IBM has been selected for a global research project. The IBM researchers, developers and a team from IBM’s Center of Excellence for the Oil and Gas in Stavanger, Norway are collaborating with the experts from the Statoil, Kongsberg Group and Det Norske Veritas on developing a solution that will use monitoring of environmental data and early detection of and response to operational events surrounding offshore installations.
By IBM Research to rapidly measure, process and analyze vast amounts of live physical, biological and chemical data generated by senior and cameras attached around an offshore installation, making it easier to predict and detect deviations monitoring system will apply advanced streaming analytics technology to enable real-time monitoring of environmental data and early detection of and response to operational events surrounding offshore installations. By IBM Research to rapidly measure, process and analyze vast amounts of live physical, biological and chemical data generated by cameras and sensors attached an offshore installation, making it easier to detect and predict deviations.
The system will be able to move beyond simply monitoring combined with the IBM’s advanced modeling techniques to prevent issues before they occur, helping companies minimize the environmental risk associated with subsea oil and gas operations. For the enterprise-wide visibility and real-team monitoring and analysis of offshore operational systems. To be measured during the actual operations, oil and gas companies is currently employ various environmental monitoring methods however, there are no solutions available that are integrated and enable physical, chemical and bilological data to measured during the actual operations. Across the lifetime of an oil field by transforming environmental monitoring from being a separate task into becoming an integrated part of day-to-day operations, the system will surely make it possible for the oil and gas companies to predict and rapidly respond to the anticipated conditions. During environmental sensitive periods, it includes a stop in drilling, shutting down production at an installation or creasing construction activity.
The general manager for IBM Global Chemicals and Petrolium Industries John Brantley stated that the environmental monitoring as a part of real-time integrated operations is central to the oil and gas industry. From the explosion of data, the initiative which draws on IBM’s research industry knowledge and experience helping companies manager and gain important insight. It will assist oil and gas companies in achieving a safer operations and minimizing the environmental impact.
