Implementation of Plant Modeler in PERUPETRO

Logo PERUPETRO
PERUPETRO plays a crucial role in the supervision and execution of activities related to the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons in Peru. Its main function lies in the supervision of contractors' compliance with their contractual obligations. This is reflected both in the supervision of exploration activities and in the attention to requests from contractors for extensions, additional terms and contractual modifications.
3.4Mha

The institution oversees more than 3.4 million hectares in Peruvian territory.

13MM USD
Income from canon and over canon for hydrocarbons was more than 13 billion dollars.
58MM USD
Total hydrocarbon revenues for the state were more than 58 billion dollars.
40k bpd
To date, more than 40 thousand barrels per day are being inspected in Peru.

To Improve its Auditing Activities

It was requested to implement the infrastructure of the PIPER Solutions suite of solutions: Plant Modeler, for remote transmission of hydrocarbon production monitoring data. PIPER Solutions: Plant Modeler, for the remote transmission of hydrocarbon production control data. Plant Modeler is a comprehensive system that allows the transmission, storage, management and visualization of variables from the hydrocarbon of the hydrocarbon measurement systems installed at the control points.

  1. Secure and Reliable Production Data Collection:

    • Implementation of secure connections to flow computers and SCADA-type control systems to ensure the security, reliability, integrity and availability of audited hydrocarbon measurement data.
    • Use of robust and encrypted communication protocols for data transfer between acquisition systems and management software.

  2. Manual recording of information:

    • Integration of online forms to allow manual data recording in cases where there is no instrumentation in the field.
    • Validation of manually entered data to ensure accuracy and consistency with automated records.

  3. Data Historization:

    • Implementation of a historization system to securely and accessibly store all captured data, allowing for consultation and retrospective analysis at any time.
    • Assignment of accurate time stamps to each log to facilitate temporal tracking of hydrocarbon production.

  4. Data Analysis and Processing:

    • Development of algorithms and data processing tools to calculate daily, biweekly and monthly accumulations of hydrocarbon production.
    • Integration of statistical analysis functions and report generation to identify trends, anomalies and production patterns.

  5. Data download capability:

    • Implementation of data export functionalities to allow the download of information in PDF, excel or image formats for analysis outside the system.

  6. Development of Reporting Screens:

    • Design and development of 78 custom reportability screens to provide users with clear and detailed visualization of hydrocarbon production data.
    • Integration of online forms to allow anual data entry in situations where automatic data acquisition is not possible, either due to lack of instrumentation in the field or for any other reason.

Production

Our Production Dashboard provides a complete view of hydrocarbon activity, highlighting key indicators such as net extraction volume, calorific value to assess fuel quality, monthly cumulative production to track targets, adjusted net sales for an accurate representation of actual sales, daily flow rate to monitor real-time efficiency, static and differential pressure to ensure safe flow, and average temperature to maintain optimal operating conditions. This data provides valuable information for strategic decision making and production performance tracking.

Daily Natural Gas Liquids Metering

This Report provides a detailed view of key indicators related to natural gas liquids (NGLs) production. The measurement period, selected for this example, provides an accurate snapshot of operational activity at a specific time. The sampling location at the PS1 - TGP measurement skid ensures the representativeness of the data collected. Chromatographic analysis performed in the laboratory of the Liquid Separation Plant ensures the accuracy of the measurements. With an average number of samples and reports of 1, the reliability and consistency of the data presented is guaranteed. Detailed component percentages, including C3, C4, C5 - C11 and C12+, provide a comprehensive understanding of NGL composition, critical for efficient production management and regulatory compliance.

Daily Natural Gas Audit Report

This provides a comprehensive review of critical details related to natural gas production and quality. Initially, the names of the engineer responsible for the review and the manager who has approved it are included, ensuring proper oversight of the process. The audit approval ticket code, along with details such as pipe diameter and tag location, provide specific information about the infrastructure and associated documentation. Base pressure, base temperature, gross calorific value (BTU/PC) and specific gravity values provide a detailed understanding of the physical and chemical properties of the natural gas being audited. In addition, the molar percentages of major components such as N2, CO2, Methane, Ethane, Propane, i-Butane, n-Butane, i-Pentane and n-Pentane are provided, allowing for an accurate assessment of the gas composition. Finally, the net daily volume chart (MPC) provides a key measure of daily production, essential for monitoring and efficient management of natural gas resources.

Average Percentage of Products Obtained from Fiscalized NGLs

This report provides a detailed overview of the composition and volume of the different components of natural gas liquids (NGLs) obtained during the fiscalization process. Each NGL batch is described along with its total volume (V). The percentages of C3, C4 and C5-C11, which represent the different components of the NGL, are provided, as well as the corresponding volumes (V - C3, V x C4 and V x C5-C11) expressed in barrels (bbl). In addition, the percentage of C12 and its corresponding volume (V x C12+) are included, allowing a complete evaluation of the composition and quantity of products obtained from the NGL under audit. These data are essential to understand the quality and yield of the NGL produced.
