Abstract
Systems and methods provided herein include a controller for a gas oil separation plant (GOSP). The controller may include a memory and one or more processors coupled to the memory. The one or more processors may be configured to cause the controller to perform, in real-time: detecting at least one deficiency at a GOSP unit having one or more adjustable equipment components, the at least one deficiency comprising at least one parameter exiting at least one threshold range, and, based on the detecting, adjusting the one or more adjustable equipment components to return the at least one parameter to the at least one threshold range
Claims22
A controller for a gas oil separation plant (GOSP), comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to cause the controller to perform, in real-time:
- detecting at least one deficiency at a GOSP unit having one or more adjustable equipment components, the at least one deficiency comprising at least one parameter exiting at least one threshold range;
- and
- based on the detecting, adjusting the one or more adjustable equipment components to return the at least one parameter to the at least one threshold range.
A system for a gas oil separation plant (GOSP), comprising:
- a wet crude handling unit (WCHU) coupled to and in communication with a controller;
- and
- a controller, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to cause the controller to perform, in real-time:
- detecting at least one deficiency at a GOSP unit having one or more adjustable equipment components, the at least one deficiency comprising at least one parameter exiting at least one threshold range;
- and
- based on the detecting, adjusting the one or more adjustable equipment components to return the at least one parameter to the at least one threshold range.
A method for a gas oil separation plant (GOSP), comprising:
- monitoring, in-real time, the at least one GOSP unit;
- detecting, at least one deficiency at the GOSP unit having one or more adjustable equipment components, the at least one deficiency comprising at least one parameter exiting at least one threshold range;
- based on the detecting, adjusting the one or more adjustable equipment components to return the at least one parameter to the at least one threshold range;
- and
- storing GOSP performance information, the GOSP performance information generated based on the detecting.
