Production monitoring system and method

A method of monitoring a plurality of production units (80), characterized in that said method includes:

• (a) using sensors (410) coupled to the injection and production units (80) for measuring physical processes occurring in operation in the injection and production units (80) and generating corresponding measurement signals (420) for computing hardware (400), wherein said computing hardware (400) is operable to execute software products (300) for processing said signals (420);
• (b) using computing hardware (400) executing said software products (300) to analyse said measurement signals (420) to abstract a parameter representation of said measurement signals (420);
• (c) using said computing hardware (400) to apply a temporal analysis of said parameters to identify temporally slow processes and temporally fast processes therein;
• and
• (d) employing information representative of said slow processes and fast processes to control a management process for controlling operation of the system (10).
