In recent years, the oil and gas industry has undertaken large-scale digital construction, and the digital and intelligent upgrading of the oil and gas industry has entered the fast lane. It is generally believed that the current digitalization of the oil and gas industry is still in its initial stage. Specifically, in the oil and gas production link, most domestic oil and gas well sites have covered the oil and gas production Internet of Things, realizing that well site data is accessible and controllable, but the digital productivity has not been fully released.

How to further unleash the productivity of digitalization? The well site RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) connects to the operation area monitoring center upwards and connects to various sensing devices downwards, and is in a key position in the oil and gas production Internet of Things. However, for a long time, the RTU has only played the role of transmitting instructions, and has not been able to fully explore the value of data. Combining the development trend of oil and gas well site digitalization, Far East Communications has designed an intelligent RTU product, which strengthens the existing acquisition and control and communication capabilities of the RTU, and uses its own powerful computing power to solve several problems of oil and gas well site digitalization through proprietary intelligent algorithms.
Q: In the digital system, the oil and gas production Internet of Things relies on various devices at the wellhead, such as: communication requires the installation of communication terminals, acquisition of power curves requires the installation of load sensors and displacement sensors, monitoring of well sites requires the installation of video analysis equipment... Just like building blocks, more and more equipment is added, and the convergence of numerous devices will lead to problems such as inconvenient construction, difficult fault location, and increased maintenance intensity. Can the development of oil and gas digitalization only rely on more and more equipment?

A: No, Far East Communications intelligent RTU Based on the acquisition and control interface, it integrates communication, switching and intelligent algorithms to fully meet the above-mentioned needs of oil well management, and can completely act as multiple devices. Introducing intelligent RTU is expected to reduce the wellhead Reduce 2 sensors, 2 modular devices, reduce 30% of equipment installation space, reduce 20% construction wiring, and improve system reliability by 17%.
Q: The number of wellheads of various oilfield companies is increasing year by year. If equipment malfunctions, it will cause production stoppage accidents, which requires oilfield employees to maintain high-frequency inspections. Oilfields are generally located in mountainous areas, deserts, and remote geographical areas. Sometimes employees have to walk tens of kilometers a day but can only inspect 3-5 wells. So, oilfield companies How to further improve the efficiency ratio with the help of digital technology?

A: Intelligent RTU can timely perceive changes in well conditions. The time to discover abnormal well conditions is shortened from the usual 3 days to no more than 10 minutes, and the inspection frequency is also reduced from once every 3-5 days to once every 30 days. It can be said that computing power liberates labor, allowing employees to change from "athletes" to "supervisors". Intelligent RTU also has video analysis capabilities, which can take into account well site safety and equipment status. Once safety hazards and equipment damage are found, they will be automatically pushed to the monitoring center, Effectively improve the decision-making speed of well site management personnel and reasonably dispatch maintenance personnel.
Q: The emergence of intelligent RTU has simplified the equipment structure and improved management efficiency. With the further application of data, Can intelligent RTU bring more value?

A: Based on data value mining, intelligent RTU can autonomously configure ideal production strategies, Both ensuring production and reducing energy consumption, with an average energy saving of 20%. Taking a pumping unit of 200 degrees/day as an example, it saves 40 degrees of electricity per day, saving 14,000 degrees of electricity per year, which is equivalent to saving 5 tons of standard coal. At the same time as energy saving, it also reduces equipment wear and tear and extends the equipment maintenance cycle.
In addition, intelligent RTU also provides various small functions for equipment maintenance: loose belt? Gearbox oil leak? Sewage pool overflow? Intelligent RTU can actively remind you of all of them.
The oil and gas industry is at a critical node of digital transformation. Far East Communications, relying on its own ICT technology accumulation and industry experience, is committed to creating products and solutions that are closer to industry application scenarios and user needs. In the future, Far East Communications will continue to uphold the corporate mission of "making private networks more intelligent", adhere to the dual-drive of industry needs and technological innovation, and help accelerate the digital transformation and development of the energy industry.
