Huawei releases scenario-based solution for smart oil and gas fields

The Huawei Connect Conference (China Oil and Gas Summit) was recently held in Shenzhen, China. At the event, Huawei released a scenario-based solution for smart oil and gas fields. The solution covers three aspects – a “smart well site, smart field station, and one network of oil and gas fields”. Huawei claims it helps to realize the efficient and smart production of oil and gas fields through digital technology.

Huawei smart oil and gas field is very simple

As the core of oil and gas production, most well sites are located in remote locations with harsh environments. Many of these sites face challenges such as difficult data collection, difficult equipment handling, and poor feedback timing of working conditions. In this regard, Huawei’s smart well site solution has a way out. It brings a new well site intelligent fusion terminal to replace the old order. The old design uses a “well site remote terminal unit + switch + fiber transceiver”. This is quite complex. Huawei’s design has a simple structure that makes it easier to operate and maintain. This will ensure that companies close their business in real-time on the side of the well site. Video AI is also linked to production data. Thus, technicians can automatically stop sudden risks remotely.

Oil and gas field stations are the nodes of oil and gas collection and processing. They have strict production safety and perimeter security. At present, the degree of digitalization in the station is still short. There are problems such as many application systems, difficult data sharing, and manual security inspection. Based on this, Huawei provides smart oil and gas field digital bases. It cooperates with industry partners to build smart stations around “station security, inspection, equipment management, and emergency management”. The security emergency response time reduces from 30 minutes to 5 minutes. Also, the inspection robot reduces the overall inspection workload of the depot by 40~50%. Furthermore, it improves operation and maintenance efficiency by 50%. In addition, the system realizes the transformation of “civil air defense” into “technical defense”. This helps the station’s intelligence upgrade.

Huawei has a simple and unified architecture. The maintenance and operation are also unified. This means that it has one network for multi purpose duty. The system also adds security for oil and gas fields.
