Rosneft launched the information system Digital Field in trial operation. This project, implemented based on the Bashneft Ilishevskoye field, for the first time in the industry covers all basic processes of oil production and logistics.
The opening ceremony dedicated to the launch of innovative system was attended by Chairman of the Board of Bashneft, Andrei Shishkin, and Acting Head of Bashkiria Radiy Khabirov.
The implementation of digital technologies on the Ilishevskoye field of Bashneft will allow achieving significant growth of production indicators and economic effect. The quantity of remotely-controlled objects will increase almost by 60 percent, the energy efficiency of processes of production will increase by 5 percent, and logistic costs will decrease by 5 percent.
The experience gained in the course of the pilot project implemented at the Ilishevskoye field will be in demand at all Rosneft fields. Due to scaling of technologies within Bashneft the company expects to receive in addition about 1 million tons of oil due to optimization of production. The economic effect will be about 1 billion roubles per year.
“We have received very optimistic results, which indicate that the introduction of digital technologies is one of the priorities for the industry development. We are creating an integrated chain of a new type, which includes a “digital field”, “digital plant”, and “digital gas station”. With regard to producing assets, in the near future, the lack of digital solutions will be a major shortcoming in competitive practices. Fields will not be able to work effectively without coordination. And such coordination is provided by the Centre for Integrated Operations, the brain of a digital enterprise,” said the chairman of the board of Bashneft, Andrei Shishkin, during the ceremony.
Basic elements of digital model of the field are “digital doubles”, mobile digital devices with data transmission, and an intelligent system of monitoring of pipelines. All the following innovative modules were developed in Rosneft’s corporate R&D centre:
All the key production facilities at the field were digitalised, such as the artificial well stock, pipeline transport, oil treatment system, and power facilities.
Note for Editors:
Bashneft’s Ilishevskoye field is located in the Ilishevsky District of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The field commissioned in 1996 belongs with brownfields. Over 10.8 million tonnes of oil have been produced there throughout its life. The heavy wear of its wells made the output go down. The implementation of the innovative project breathes new life into Ilishevskoye field.
The project is managed by the Centre for Integrated Operations in Dyurtyuli, in the immediate vicinity of the pilot production site.
The development and launch of the Digital Field project are performed in line with the Rosneft 2022 Strategy that calls for transmission to a brand new level of business management, improved sustainability, production efficiency, and loss reduction.
The Company’s Corporate R&D Centre is in charge of the development and implementation of the project. The R&D and design works are carried out by the Institute of RN-BashNIPIneft, as well as by production specialists of Bashneft and Sibintek, the inner IT integrating unit of the Company.
