DS-gO Oil&Gas Prognostics and Health Management

Delphisonic introduced an intelligent alarm management system that scans this flood of alarms and filters out those that are not relevant. It also filters out alarms due to transient effects. It filters the alarms such that one physical fault has only one alarm.

Now more than ever, the worldwide oil and gas market is looking to technology to meet the needs for energy security, environmental and operational protection, improved installed system efficiency, distribution system reliability and control, economic growth, and clean energy technologies.

The DS Emissions Monitoring System for Oil and Gas Operations helps you reduce greenhouse gases and manage your environmental footprint with real-time monitoring of the diesel and gas engines critical to field operations. This safeguard provides a method to set targets and understand how your organization contributes to reducing greenhouse gases.

Remote Condition Monitoring

System for distinguishing a change in vibration due to process changes, such as active power, from that due to developing faults.

With this system, you can access and monitor key engine parameters on the engine’s controller area network (CAN), easily integrate these parameters with sensor and transducer data gathered from the 4 mA to 20 mA current loop inputs, and control 24 V industrial digital devices to enforce safety controls or adjust engine operation. You also can directly monitor the temperature of engine systems with resistance temperature detectors (RTDs). Using the built-in field-programmable gate array (FPGA) on DS-gO hardware, you can also create transistor-transistor logic (TTL)-level digital protocols to communicate with a wide range of instrument buses or sensors using standard protocols like SPI, UART, and I2C. Or you can completely customize digital protocols. With access to this wide array of engine data, you can use the extensive library of analysis and processing functions in DS-X Cloud-Based Software graphical system design software to precisely monitor and log engine emission information.

Alarm Management System

Intelligently reduces the flood of alarms that often occur when monitoring oil&gas platform, due to variations in operating conditions. Developing a smart, problem-oriented analysis system that uses the Internet of Things (IoT) to remotely monitor the facility in real time, quickly convert large amounts of data to facility management, and immediately detect facility abnormities. The system must also improve overall facility efficiency, cost saving, reduce maintenance time-cost, and enhance platform safety

As there can be 1000+ alarm limits per platform, one of the greatest challenges of monitoring a oil&gas platform is dealing with a potentially large number of alarms and determining which alarms are relevant. There are also many transient events during the operation of a oil&gas platform, such as gusting and yawing. These transient events can actually cause the exceedance of an alarm limit for a shorter period of time even though there is no component fault. Another area of concern is localizing a developing fault. A fault that has been detected by a sensor on a particular bearing, for example, can also be picked up by other nearby sensors. In this case there is only one machine fault but many alarms.

Delphisonic introduced an intelligent alarm management system that scans this flood of alarms and filters out those that are not relevant. It also filters out alarms due to transient effects. It filters the alarms such that one physical fault has only one alarm.

The alarm information is graduated into five severity levels in order to provide the customer’s service department with a lead-time estimate on a developing fault, as shown below. New alarms are generated only when a new severity level is reached. There is therefore only a maximum of 4 alarms for the “lifetime” of the fault. Severity is first estimated automatically by the Alarm Manager, and then a final assessment is made by a DS-X diagnostic expert.
