Dear DMS Members, My last words spoke of change to the categorisation of safety functions, redundancy requirements and hazardous area classifications as a way to reduce cost but there are many other ways. Digitalization for instance or wireless technologies to mention 2 that feature in the latest ISA Automation Conference & Exhibition in UAE. Digitalization in automation has been around since the last century when the 1st DCSs and PLCs were developed to provide intelligent automation and today the technologies used are advancing at rates never seen before but should we take on everything it brings to the table? This is a rhetorical question since I believe that it will bring benefits but not all uses will definitely bring benefits unless we fully understand how to use it. Foundation Fieldbus, for example, has provided digitalization through use of intelligent devices. This was meant to bring so much but, speaking to end-users, it is apparent that it is not being fully utilised mainly because the engineering and maintenance practices have not changed in the way that is required. Most field commissioning technicians, for instance, still use procedures designed to commission non-intelligent devices and so don’t benefit from the reduced time, and associated cost, required to commission devices that provide all the feedback that a technician will have had to give in the good old days. In the enterprise level there is so much data available now for analysis, due to this digitalization, that most data is just collected and stored for future use. That use never seems to come! Fortunately, data storage these days is really cheap. What we need then is data analytics where this data can be used to continuously analyse trends and diagnose problems before they stop production but later than preventive maintenance methods would do to reduce maintenance costs from both ends of the scale. But we need to remember that, with the reduced costs that digitalzation can bring, there are the added costs of cyber security. Cyber security is expensive but the costs associated with the problems that can be experienced without it are even greater so it seems we are stuck with higher costs whatever we do so we need to learn how to balance them so that we can truly benefit from digitalization in a way that we all know it can benefit us. I hope that the digitalization and cyber security tracks at the conference will help provide us with some of the answers as to how we can truly benefit from digitalization technologies. It’s going to be an interesting conference. Kind Regards, Mohammed Loch President and CEO, DMS Global Director of Industry Relations, International Society of Automation (ISA)

ADCO TO UNDERTAKE PHASE 3 OF THE BAB COMPRESSION PROJECT Bab field is a crucial asset of Abu Dhabi and the future of the Emirate because of its dual role in producing both oil and gas. Located onshore, south west of Abu Dhabi city, Bab is the largest onshore area in the Emirate, covering approximately 1200sqm. Founded in 1952, Bab currently represents about a quarter of ADCO’s capacity and will continue to increase through its target to increase the production by 7.5% by 2020. Bab has multiple hydrocarbon reservoirs and the gas produced is transferred to ADNOC ‘s processing plants. Located in Habshan area, Bab compression station was introduced in 2013 and it is a part of the Thamama gas network. It is aimed to increase gas production in the area from the Thamama C and D fields, as well as units 6, 7 and 13. This gathering system ties the gas producing well flow-lines to the remote manifold stations which is

then transferred to trunk lines in a system which also includes gas production wells. This development, like a number of others within the country, contributes to the overall UAE plan to increase reliance on domestic gas and reduce imports of the product. The construction of the Bab gas compression station first started in 2010 and has been estimated to handle 1.8 billion standard cubic feet per day of gas. Despite the current oil downturn, the situation seems to be slowly picking up within the industry and the compression project is pushing forward. Phase 3 of the compression station project has been announced and currently the project floated the tender and is in the bidding stage for the EPC contract. With the completion of the phase 3, ADCO plans to increase capacity of Bab field by 25% through the compression station project.

KOREA & UAE OIL COMPANIES JOIN FORCES In 2012, South Korea partnered with Abu Dhabi oil concession, the two countries continue to cooperate further within the oil industry. In particular, Korea National Oil Corporation (KNOC) and GS Energy have partnered in Abu Dhabi Oil concession to secure rigs for three appraisal wells which are planned to be installed at the Haliba field on the Omani border. The partnership between the two companies together with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) will form a company called Al Dhafra Petroleum. Haliba field, an asset which is also known as ‘’Area 1’’ and believed to be chemically matching murban crude, has been recognized to have high potential, not only for the content but for the convenient and accessible onshore position. Split between 3 exploration blocks which cover both onshore and offshore areas, Haliba field has

several international, well known companies working to ensure successful delivery. The front end engineering design (FEED) has been carried out by France’s Technip, now known as Technip FMC. The company has been carrying out the FEED works for Area 1, while Worley Parsons has been selected as the project management consultant. The EPC tender for the project had already floated last year, and currently the commercial bids have been submitted for the engineering, procurement and construction contract, with major industry players like Tecnimont and L&T involved in the bidding process among several others. Although unclear at this stage, the EPC contract is likely to be awarded this year and followed by commencement of construction.

NORTH EMIRATE PIPELINE FINALLY PUSHES FORWARD Dolphin Energy is a joint venture between Mubadala, Occidental Petroleum and Total, with Mubadala holding a majority 51 percent stake. The joint venture initially announced plans to develop a pipeline that will supply gas to the Emirate of Sharjah in order to meet the escalating demand for gas from Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah. With front end engineering design (FEED) which started in 2014, the project has been facing some delays due to a variety of reasons one of which was the down turn of the oil and gas environment that has recently impacted the industry as a whole. With ILF Consulting Engineers completing the FEED studies, and the long expected float of the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) tender. Dolphin energy has recently announced the bid submission closing date which expects a number of major industry contractors to submit bids for the contract.

The pipeline, which aims to provide gas supply for the north of the UAE and in turn contribute towards the overall aim of the UAE to lower the country’s reliance on natural gas imports, will be connected to the existing pipeline that is currently located in the North of Al Ain. The 70 km long with capacity of transferring 3.2 cubic feet of gas a day will run through Sharjah to connect to the Sharjah National Oil Company (SNOC) gas plant, with the majority of the pipeline to be located within the Sharjah desert.

DMG Events: THAILAND GEARS UP TO BE THE ENERGY HUB FOR ASIA WITH MINISTRY OF ENERGY SETTING THE STAGE FOR IT NEXT DECEMBER

PoweringGrowing Markets Sustainably Beyond 2030 at Future Energy Asia Exhibition and Conference scheduled for December 2018 in BITEC, Thailand

Japan, 5th April 2017: Mr. Areepong Bhoocha-Oom, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Energy of Thailand launched today the ‘Future Energy Asia Exhibition & Conference’ as a major initiative towards securing the path to Thailand’s Energy 4.0. The transformation and development of Thailand is a major priority for the government which creates incredible business opportunities for both integrated and nonintegrated energy companies globally. As such, ‘Future Energy Asia Exhibition & Conference’ is the perfect platform for NOCs and IOCs to foster the transition from traditional fuel suppliers to integrated energy providers for a more efficient and sustainable energy mix across Asia. Globally energy demand will increase by around 30% by 2030, driven by increasing prosperity in developing countries and by fast growing emerging markets. The energy mix is changing driven by technology and environment concerns. The primary demand will still be Oil and Gas but industry is adapting and changing and is seeing these traditional fossil fuels provide the transition to the evolution that is underway Natural Gas and LNG will be the primary fuel source for Asias continued development. Future Energy Asia under support of the Thailand Ministry of Energy promises to be the largest energy industry gathering Asia has ever seen. Focusing on oil,

gas and renewables, the event is set forth to outline the perfect scenarios of mixed fuels and technologies needed to meet growing energy demand, improve efficiency and support the transition to a lower-carbon economy. It will be held from 12-14 December 2018 at BITEC, Thailand with 15,000+ visitors, 2,500+ delegates, 300 speakers and over 600 exhibiting companies. His Excellency Permanent Secretary announced the launch to a gathering of dignitaries, officials, energy sector leaders and prominent media together with international organiser dmg events and expert event co-organizers, Exposis from Thailand. Dr. Areepong Bhoocha-Oom said “Thailand 4.0 means opportunity and the transformation in the energy sector of the country as well. As we move more closely towards an improved energy system, energy production and consumption must adapt radically to ensure the demands of growing populations are met, whilst ensuring cleaner and more efficient delivery is achieved. While renewable and other carbon-free energy will play a primary role, the importance of fossil fuels, in particular natural gas, in delivering the cost-effective and immediate requirements of Asia’s growing demand cannot be ignored. Fossil fuel & renewable energy can certainly form the core elements of a transition to a cleaner & more sustainable energy future for Asia” He affirmed that holding Future Energy Asia exhibition and conference in Thailand reflects Thailand’s continuous efforts to promote new projects, attract investments in the energy sector, and consolidate communication with foreign investors and large international corporations, which are foremost on the

Q) Who is Telinstra’s target market for this technology and what sectors do you operate in?

Telinstra has been associating and partnering with some of the leading Innovative technology providers in Automation, Control, Safety, Communications, Data Management and electrical systems for a few years now. These organizations provide a continuous stream of new products and technology to the market at regular intervals. At Telinstra we regularly track new technology and developments and actively evaluate the potential benefits of these technologies with the requirements of our client. Digitization trends would continue to swamp the market with automation being the mainstay. The amassing of data would continue and Big Data would become more qualitative that before. This would mean that Big data analytics would become a necessity in the industry. The IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things) would move from its nascent state to being a more mature in its understanding and application. The coming year would see more customers adopt and adapt to this. The IIOT would further usher mobility solutions with more applications going to the cloud. Finally in our industrial environment all this would only be accepted if the IT operating environment as a whole is secure and not prone to intrusions. At Telinstra we realize these rising trends in the market and we are strategically placing ourselves to adopt these technologies and bring these to our clients in a planned and systematic way.

Telinstra’s target market would typically be the Owners and Operators of Oil & Gas, Water, Waste Water, District cooling, Power, Infrastructure and manufacturing facilities who have Critical Assets with complex and dynamic operational requirement. Telinstra has its operations in the UAE with it corporate offices in Dubai and a separate manufacturing and testing facility in the Jebal Ali. It has also recently moved into an expanded Engineering, Development and Panel Build facility to meet the need for increased localized delivery of technology & expertise for the UAE, GCC and to specific customers across Middle East & Africa. Over the last one year telinstra has further increased its footprints in Qatar, Oman and Kuwait by working through dedicated partner relationships aimed at serving clients through respective local bases which of course results in increased interactions with the local clients and a reduced demand response times for dynamic customer needs.

“Digitization trends would continue to swamp the market with automation being the mainstay. The amassing of data would continue and Big Data would become more qualitative that before. This would mean that Big data analytics would become a necessity in the industry.”

DIGITALIZATION

FIELDCOMM GROUP: Digital Transformation In The Age Of IIOT How FieldComm Group Technologies Help Create New Value In the industrial and manufacturing sector, it’s important to make the most of the information provided by intelligent measurement devices. The usefulness of this information depends on access to and use of realtime, reliable data, allowing smart choices to be made. Integrating the data so that effective action gets taken depends on a network infrastructure that breaks down “silos of information.” The following article describes how FieldComm Group technologies can be the basis for digitization supporting the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). At the same time, the Field Device Integration (FDI™) standard greatly simplifies device integration and takes account of various tasks over the entire lifecycle for both simple and the most complex devices. Background In a highly competitive global marketplace, the convergence of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT) is driving new methodologies for monitoring production processes to improve performance, lower costs and minimize risk. Mere connectivity of devices already allows valuable enhancements such as remote service and predictive maintenance, but, ultimately, the goal is to analyze data and gain detailed and comprehensive insights from assets, processes and products. Industrial firms need to make sense of vast quantities of data having a critical impact on their performance. To support the variety of applications necessary within a manufacturing facility, information must be delivered with context so it can be understood and used by a variety of people. Challenges Facing Manufacturers Management of industrial operations has become increasingly demanding. It’s a case of navigating through the tangle of new data to find the needle in the haystack. Manufacturers need to create reliable production plans to meet market demands, and synchronize maintenance plans and operations execution – with the mandate to be more productive. In other words, do more, do it better, with more agility and with fewer resources. For process industry firms, there is a real need to transform operations, with real-time instrumentation delivering better information and allowing faster implementation of decisions. An essential requirement for every company is to ensure the safety of people, assets and the environment, while optimizing the performance of processes and facilities (e.g., uptime, reliability, safety and compliance). 64 Automation

Growth of Process Automation Technological advances have been the impetus for dramatic increases in industrial productivity since the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. Today, Industry 4.0, a set of technology principles set down by the German government, aims is to deliver greater flexibility to production and manufacturing processes by integrating the processes, data and organizational services of an enterprise. This initiative will make it possible to gather and analyze data across machines, enabling faster, more flexible, and more efficient processes. The growth and diversification of the Internet is also dramatically altering industrial sectors of the economy. Dubbed the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and in tandem with Industry 4.0 practices, the latest wave of technological change combines the global reach of the Internet with a new ability to directly control the physical world. The IIoT is often presented as a revolution that is changing the face of industry. In reality, it is an evolution that has its origins in technologies and functionalities developed decades ago. Communication protocols and standards form the backbone of the IIoT in that they enable the secure integration and interoperability of devices and software applications. This results in an always-connected framework with applications such as machine health, predictive analytics, performance monitoring, and asset monitoring readily layering on top of this infrastructure. Value of Digital Transformation Digital transformation – the use of technology to radically improve performance or reach of enterprises – is becoming a hot topic for companies around the world. Successful digital transformation comes not from implementing new technologies but from transforming industrial organizations to take advantage of the possibilities that new technologies provide. It also results from reshaping operational strategies to leverage valuable existing assets in new ways. The IIoT is enabling digital transformation by making use of information in installed smart devices. Simultaneously, industrial wireless continues to be a cost-effective solution for quickly adding more measurements to systems. Contributing to digital transformation of measurement data, wireless is being used for monitoring local and remote assets, safety, environmental and many different mobile and rotating measurements. With a larger, consolidated data set, manufacturers can apply higher analytics for more detailed insight,

DIGITALIZATION scale the data as needed to meet the varied needs of single-site or enterprise-wide operations and leverage a wider pool of data experts for monitoring and analysis. Ultimately, digital transformation will help manufacturers eliminate unplanned shutdowns, maximize output, minimize safety risk and optimize supply chain strategies. Role of Communication Protocols The FieldComm Group, formed in 2015 with the merger of the Fieldbus Foundation and HART Communication Foundation, is dedicated to a unified vision for a smarter industry. The organization’s technologies provide the means to connect and integrate digital information. They enable a connected framework using intelligent field devices to reduce waste, improve safety and increase efficiency, and have for over 20 years. Digital down to the sensor level, FOUNDATION Fieldbus has been at the forefront of digital transformation since its inception. The technology provides an all-digital communication infrastructure for process automation, with powerful multivariable measurement capabilities, robust device diagnostics, and the ability to integrate wireless devices across multiple networks. Designed for use with analog instruments, HART technology offers a proven and reliable solution for plant operators who seek the benefits of intelligent devices with digital communication, while preserving existing investments in analog instrumentation and plant wiring. HART provides access to a wealth of digital process, maintenance and diagnostic information that is valuable throughout the automation lifecycle. WirelessHART is a wireless communications protocol that uses mesh network technology for process automation applications. It adds wireless capabilities to HART technology while maintaining compatibility with existing HART devices, commands, and tools. HARTIP enables the HART protocol to run over any Internet Protocol (IP)-based connection, offering valuable HART data at the speed of Ethernet. Solution for System Integration Leading process industry foundations, including FieldComm Group, PROFIBUS International, and the OPC Foundation, jointly developed the Field Device Integration (FDI) standard to solve the problem of integrating field devices with the multitude of networks, operating systems, and control systems commonly used in process plants. FDI takes account of the various tasks over the entire lifecycle for both simple and complex devices, including configuration, commissioning, diagnosis and calibration. The core of FDI technology is the scalable FDI Device Package, which describes a field instrument or automation component in all aspects. No other files are needed. The FDI Device Package incorporates a

device specific Electronic Device Description (EDD) based on the harmonized Electronic Device Description Language (EDDL) per IEC 61804. By including all tools, documents, and interfaces in a single device package, FDI improves system integration efficiency and allows easier access by IT organizations to OT information. Moreover, it unifies device drivers, configuration tools, diagnostics and documentation regardless of operating system with an independent and downloadable software package compatible with any FDI-registered host system. Value to Industrial Organizations There is significant value to industry as a result of a smart connected device ecosystem, which makes it possible to address performance, reliability, safety, and environmental problems that have yet to be solved by traditional approaches. It is becoming possible to securely get the right information into the hands of problem-solvers wherever they are located. One of the biggest opportunities to realize IIoT benefits is to take advantage of the capabilities offered by plant floor to enterprise data management. Although FOUNDATION Fieldbus, HART and WirelessHART technologies have been around for some time, the automation industry is still not utilizing their full capabilities, with a few notable exceptions. Suppliers and end users continuing use to 4-20 mA and on-off signals should revisit their plant automation architectures and decide upon new business models to take advantage of the IIoT, since modern plants have already deployed it. Most new plants will be built on FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and existing plants will be modernized using WirelessHART. Conclusion The drive for digital transformation and smarter plant operations, as enabled by developments like the IIoT and Industry 4.0, can help manufacturing firms and other industrial enterprises leverage advanced technologies in new and significant ways. At the heart of IIoT and Industry 4.0 solutions for the process industries are FieldComm Group technologies enabling automation suppliers and end users to digitally connect to data revealed by increasingly smart instrumentation, and integrate the information with enterprise systems to advance business performance.

DIGITALIZATION

ARC: Advanced Maintenance Maturity Model Increases Reliability And Reduces Costs In Upstream And Downstream Operations Industrial IoT (IIoT) and digitalization are having a huge impact across industry, including both upstream oil & gas operations and downstream refineries and petrochemical plants. In just one example of this, rather than inspecting equipment manually and using paper-based systems to communicate and store the results, maintenance staffs can now take advantage of IIoT-enabled automated systems. This improves both data quality and quantity. IIoT-enabled remote asset monitoring also dramatically expands the number and variety of parameters that can be monitored cost effectively. Combined with today’s more advanced analytics, these data enable industrial organizations to implement new, more effective maintenance strategies to progress further along on the maturity continuum from reactive, to preventive, to condition-based, to predictive, and – ultimately – to prescriptive maintenance. With higher maintenance maturity, comes broader business benefits that go beyond reducing maintenance costs. These include improved on-time shipments, revenue, customer satisfaction, quality/yield, safety, and work-in-process (WIP) inventory. These benefits align with executive metrics; increasing the likelihood of obtaining both approval for projects and the resources needed for project success. IIoT Advances Maintenance Maturity For maintenance-related activities, IIoT brings a need to revisit the higher levels of maintenance maturity and associated definitions. ARC’s recent review of current maturity models uncovered many versions and inconsistencies. Also, the industry lacks a standard to build upon. This lack of clarity makes it difficult to compare solutions, leading to confusion among potential users and delaying the application of solutions. While industry participants generally have a good understanding of both reactive and preventive maintenance, we’ve encountered a variety of interpretations for condition-based, predictive maintenance and prescriptive maintenance approaches, and where IIoT comes into play. A clearer definition of these upper maintenance maturity levels is needed for users to be able to better assess the available alternatives. Reactive, Preventive, Condition-based, Predictive, and Now Prescriptive Maintenance Maturity Models Since first publishing the Asset Management Maturity

Model in an ARC report in 2015, we’ve taken a closer look at the impact of IIoT on the maturity model. We now classify maintenance maturity into five types or levels: reactive, preventive, condition-based, predictive, and prescriptive. Strategy

Asset Management Maturity Model Reactive Maintenance: Reactive (run to failure) maintenance is the most common approach for equipment, since most assets have a very low probability of failure and are noncritical. This approach helps control maintenance costs, but is only appropri-ate for non-critical assets. Preventive Maintenance: Here, maintenance is performed based on either time (analogous to replacing the batteries in your household smoke detectors once a year), or usage (changing your car’s oil every 5,000 miles). Preventive maintenance applies to assets with an age-related failure pattern where the frequency of failure for the asset increases with age, run-time, or number of cycles. Condition-Based Maintenance: Condition-based maintenance

DIGITALIZATION monitoring a specific asset parameter. The focus tends to be the amplitude of the value, with vibration monitoring being the most common. CBM typically applies to production (rotating equipment) and automation (instruments and the control system) equipment. For stationary plant equipment such as steam boilers, piping and heat exchangers, periodic inspections and condition evaluations are often used. Predictive Maintenance: Predictive maintenance (PdM) uses engineered algorithms and/or machine learning with multiple input parameters to provide higher accuracy (fewer false positives or missed issues) and more advanced warning before failure. It combines “small data” from a particular device or system with algorithms that model that type of equipment (sometimes called virtual equipment or “digital twin”) to monitor condition and raise an alert when appropriate. This provides the more advanced notice needed to schedule and execute the maintenance during planned shutdowns. Prescriptive Maintenance: Prescriptive maintenance builds on PdM with alerts that provide diagnostics and guidance for repair. Information for determining the timing and impact of failure is also included to help assess priority and urgency. Increasing maturity typically involves more engineering investment. For specific types of equipment, one benefit of the engineered algorithm or model for predictive and prescriptive maintenance is the ability to replicate it like a template across many similar devices – like doors on a passenger train or transformers in power transmission lines. This approach provides economies of scale and a basis for financial justification of the inherently larger engineering and development costs. Benefits of Higher Maintenance Maturity Users have reported that moving from preventive maintenance to predictive or prescriptive approaches provides 50 percent savings in maintenance labor and MRO materials. With predictive and prescriptive maintenance, near zero unplanned downtime for critical equipment can be achieved. This level of equipment reliability ripples into other significant business benefits, including improvements in on-time shipments, revenue, customer satisfaction, quality/yield, safety, and work-inprocess (WIP) inventory.

Unfortunately, maintenance and operations personnel tend to focus on cost reductions for labor and MRO materials to financially justify a project. A broader viewpoint with higher business impact usually gets executive attention and the resources needed to succeed. Where to Go from Here Industrial IoT allows organizations to move from manual inspections for collecting data, to automated systems. This vastly improves data quantity and quality, enabling improvements in maintenance strategies. How can you best leverage this capability to improve your organization’s operating performance? ARC recommends the following actions for manufacturers and other industrial organizations: •Use the updated maintenance maturity chart to communicate your strategy to others. •Include the supplier’s IIoT services in the selection criteria for sourcing new equipment. •Get started with an IIoT project for critical equipment that has high visibility and has been problematic with significant business impact or safety/environment incidents. •Leverage the initial success into a broader program to achieve near zero unplanned downtime for critical assets and broader business benefits. •Establish a consistent set of IIoT technologies for the predictive and prescriptive maintenance applications to improve project sustainability . •If your organization lacks technical and/or IT resources, engage with an appropriate local, regional, national, or global service provider to support implementation.

DIGITAL OILFIELDS

ROCKWELL AUTOMATION: Digital Oilfields

End users have realized benefits of digital oilfield projects over the last few years in a number of areas ranging from reduced maintenance costs, optimized production costs, increased personnel and asset safety, and improved network security. This has been achieved by implementing sensing and remote monitoring and control systems in field facilities, powerful telecommunication backbones, SCADA software suites and video surveillance; however, the convergence of OT and IT and the development of processing capabilities in controllers for remote facilities, analytics and workflow software allow greater use of these technologies. Working within an IIoT framework, suppliers of solutions and equipment for digital oilfield projects will continue the push to deploy intelligent assets, devices capable of: • Providing self-diagnostics • Executing intelligent algorithms to understand process conditions • Diagnosing current or potential failure conditions • Providing the most likely reasons for a fault • Assisting production and operations engineers to help accelerate their work and act based on exception • Increasing the useful life of equipment • Planning maintenance activities At Rockwell Automation, we have the Optilift™ systems family, which provides solutions that utilise this technology in the operation of natural flowing wells and those operated with artificial lift systems, Well Test Control and Net Oil computation and Virtual Flow 70 Automation

calculation for wellheads or well-pads. The intelligent application of this technology has been built on expertise gained by Rockwell Automation from working with many petroleum companies around the world and by the acquisition of market leading technology from vMonitor® and ICS® Triplex® integrated into worldrenowned Allen-Bradley® controls technology. A second area of opportunity is represented by analytics and workflow software and integrated operations environments. We have seen that end users are looking to operate within a single user interface environment with unique access to SCADA modules, historians, alarming, operational and optimization workflows and ultimately advanced production optimization engines. This approach allows the automatic linking and updating of raw data from the fields in reports, well and reservoir and surface models without the need of manual intervention by the implementation of data templates and data brokering software. In turn, this provides high data availability, data cleansing, disaster recovery and integration of applications with an open architecture. ConnectedProductionTM is the suite that Rockwell Automation developed to provide this functionality. In practical terms it will be as easy as connecting a new device to the network, having it configure automatically and connecting it to all the instances which it is related to. This can result in reduced commissioning time, configuration, and data validation with reduced errors in configuration while still considering network security best practices.

DIGITAL OILFIELDS Digital Oilfield concept has multiple interpretations by different operators, however the most accepted one is that it is an operation philosophy that requires the application of advanced sensing, automation, control, telecommunication and software technologies in upstream oil and gas in order to capture relevant process data and apply analysis and data management tools to it, with the ultimate purpose of optimizing the process. However, over the last few years the industry has realized that to be successful in the implementation of a Digital Oilfield project, it not only needs pervasive application of technology but also requires organizational alignment, change management plans to adapt the organization to the new practices and ultimately strong commitment and a clear vision from the leadership about the goals of the program. At the end it is a holistic process that affects all the organization. The benefits of the Digital Oilfield, Intelligent Fields or Integrated Operations as some other people called them, have been documented in a number of papers and works from entities ranging from operators, O&G services companies, industrial automation manufacturers to industry consultants; the main benefits of it have been identified in terms of increased production (averages in the range of 3% to 8%) by optimizing well modelling, artificial lift systems performance, real time monitoring, remote control of facilities; increased recovery by applying advanced sub-surface monitoring and modelling tool; optimized drilling and well completions by applying advanced surveillance to the drilling process and rig control systems, by implementing intelligent wells to manage multiple production zones in a well without the need of rig intervention; cost reductions of up to 15% in areas such as maintenance and operations by implementing automated predictive alarming and automated workflows; reduction of HSE exposure by rationalizing the human resources used in the field and even monitoring their vital signs when deployed and assisting their work with remove video surveillance and personal communications, integrating asset safety systems within the surveillance networks and embedding network security as part of the DOF deployments has added numerous benefits to company operations. In practical terms the extent in which the activities can be digitized depend of the type of economics and return of the particular exploitation and key enablers such as the telecommunication backbone available. The technology today allows you to bring data from sub-surface to surface, control sub-surface and surface devices in the wells, deploy Intelligent Controllers in the field which can be autonomous or not; however, if the data can’t be brought to a place where the adequate expertise is available in a reasonable time frame then the benefits of the implementation are reduced. There are a number of great technologies in the market today such as WIMAX, WIFI, LTE,GPRS, etc. that allow great bandwidth along with resource management that can

enable the data highway required to deploy a successful digital oilfield project. Once the data is brought to the available location that data can be used for surveillance, alarming and reporting or can be sourced to workflow and analytical software engines in order to assist in the extraction of extra value from it. I believe that even though offshore and onshore operations have their own particularities in terms of location of resources and cost of operations, each one has areas where efficiency can be attained by applying the DOF philosophy. While in the case of offshore operations data acquisition, control and safety systems are defined almost from the inception and design of the project – except for brownfield projects –, it helps run the daily operations as an integral part of it, however the operations can be optimized by applying automated workflows in different areas such as reservoir optimization, water flooding, pressure maintenance, optimized reservoir drainage, production network optimization with the assistance of petroleum engineering tools. Obviously the cost of services in offshore exploitation are higher than in onshore activities so every tool available should be employed to reduce the cost of operations. On the other hand in the onshore domain, the field operations are not constrained by the cost of marine services or higher rig and logistics costs, so the applications of a DOF philosophy might look as an optional alternatives to producers, however the proven benefits of converting a remote onshore operations into an integrated and connected entity have driven many operators to implement Integrated Operations approach. Gulf operators have accelerated their initiatives during the last five years on a gradual manner. The main drive has been to deploy remote monitoring and control systems in many cases and in some particular cases the projects havebeen complemented using integration of real time data bases with advanced petroleum engineering optimization tools. The world’s appetite for energy has grown exponentially and shows no sign of slowing down as more of the globe’s largest populations join the expanding middle classes. But what has changed is the energy mix. There’s no doubt that oil and gas will continue to have an important role to play, but it’s also clear that with new fracking methods, ever more stringent regulatory frameworks, and global commitments to more sustainable sources of energy, the Middle East’s traditional resource providers in oil and gas are under more pressure than ever before. This has all led to a change in focus for oil and gas

DIGITAL OILFIELDS producers who are looking less towards investment in expansion and operational growth and turning instead to improving efficiency through optimisation. The opportunities for improving existing plant in the data-driven age are extensive. The tools at the disposal of the most forward looking companies include, for example, process surveillance technologies, data analysis engines and applications, and workflow optimisation techniques. And that’s just the beginning – new controls, drives, and safety enabled technologies play a part, while remote management of assets becomes a reality. Importantly, all of these tools can be comprehensively connected at enterprise-level collaboration platforms. These platforms leverage open-source communications protocols to offer real-time and historical information for improved decision making from any number of unique or generic resources throughout the plant and well into the supply chain. In fact, you may prefer to learn more about some capabilities via our digital oilfield page. The benefits of this toolkit reach into every part of the production process, and although every plant is different and can benefit in differentways, we’ve brought together the approaches and technologies involved under the name ConnectedProductionTM. This is an extension of our Connected Enterprise approach to automation solutions in other sectors, the approach that lies at the heart of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) strategies for many of the world’s most important brands. We effectively borrow everything we learn from being the largest company in the world dedicated to

automation and refine it for the onshore oil and gas production environment. Connected Production enables operators to capture data from any number of third party sources through standard open source technologies, then make it available to a number of applications – such as real time visualisation and historical logging - within a single information environment. Moreover, it allows operators to run short-term ALS production optimisation loops, asset management systems and to connect to advance optimisation modules that can help the producer to reduce operational costs, increase efficiency, raise profit margins and have a stable infrastructure to reap the rewards of further Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) benefits as they develop. A regular oilfield production operation relies on the intensive use of labour to supervise well operations and bring written reports to main offices, where administration clerks and in many cases costly engineering resources waste agreat quantity of its time to organize and try to make sense of the raw data brought by the field operators, compile into proneto-error excel spreadsheets and perform analysis of the data in an isolated manner and in one painful one by one fashion, until they find a deviation and then act on it, uploading the data manually into isolated analysis programs without little or no relations to other processes affected by this particular conditions. So to manage a field you need to enlist a small army of hardto-find petroleum engineer (refer to oil and gas industry skill gap) and the use of reams of paper and excel spreadsheets to integrate the information. That said the process to optimize a well, asset, reservoir mike takes weeks or months with inherent inefficiencies.

DIGITAL OILFIELDS Enter the Digital Oilfield; data from the wells arrives into SCADA System and information centres in real or near -real time, basic or intelligent alarms are produced automatically so the operators act on the areas with issues rather than in all of them (management by exception), the data flows from SCADA to historians and from there to the automated workflow engines, where the engineers can invest their time in analysing the most pressing issues and running iterations to identifying better actions plans. The engineers can trigger work orders to immediately have someone working in the issue all in matter of hours or days rather than weeks or months. Translate that into different operational cycles and accelerated operations and it will produce a virtuous cycle of excellence and continued improvement. Devices in the field can also be intelligent, self-aware (self-diagnostics) and aware of the process that they handle, produce alarms and diagnostics and even probable causes of the condition, accelerating the optimization cycle. One of the benefits that we would like to highlight are procedure standardization across the company; we have experienced companies where different locations use disparate procedures to perform similar processes, adding complexity to the management of the different issues. By applying DOF techniques, companies can standardize process and define KPIs across the organization, providing a common language for its different locations to be evaluated and collaborate. Big data have been always present in the Digital Oilfield projects. To illustrate it, involved entities have been working on process and software tools to enable the management of massive quantity of data and its seamless flow through multiple applications, ranging from SCADA to Advanced Petroleum engineering packages with reduced human intervention. These advance Petroleum Engineering packages would run algorithms to a set of data related to a particular process to come up with proposed set of actions to optimize say a reservoir drainage plan or to optimize a surface production network or the overall production steps. What is changing now is the complexity of these advanced engineering tools and the scope of the algorithms and even use of Artificial Intelligence to extract more value from gathered data. One of the benefits of DOF is the reduction of HSE exposure by reducing the time that field crews need to invest in visiting remote facilities. There also other benefits in the areas of asset integrity, fire and safety and optimization of maintenance activities, which have been achieved by deploying gas sensing system, leak detection devices and software, integrated fire and safety system and personal communication systems, where a worker equipped with a camera and radio system can remotely interact with specialists who can help him to solve a problem in the field in real time.

Working within an IIoT framework, suppliers of solutions and equipment for Digital Oilfield Projects will continue the push to deploy Intelligent Assets; devices capable to provide diagnostics of its own operational condition and also execute intelligent algorithms to understand conditions of the process being controlled, diagnose current or potential failure conditions and even provide with the most likely reasons for the fault, assisting the productions and operations engineer to accelerate their work and act based on exception, increase useful life of the equipment and plan maintenance activities. Rockwell Automation came up with its Optilift product family, which provides Intelligent Applications for devices used in the operation of natural flowing wells and those operated with artificial lift systems such as beam pump, plunger lift, ESP, Well Test Control and Net Oil computation and Virtual Flow calculation for wellheads or well-pads. These Intelligent Applications were developed by leveraging on own and third party petroleum engineering expertise applied to the automation domain where Rockwell is one of the market leaders, through its Allen Bradley, vMonitor and ICS Triplex brands. Our vision is to provide an user experience similar to downloading an application for your iPhone or Android device and enabling your device to execute new tasks. A second area of opportunities is represented by analytics and workflow software on integrated operations environments. We have seen that End Users are looking to operate within a single user interface environment with access to SCADA modules, historian, alarming, operational and optimization workflows and ultimately advanced production optimization engines from third parties. Rockwell Automation came up with the ConnectedProduction suite, developed to address this requirement of the industry. In practical terms this software suite provides a powerful data acquisition and remote control engine with state-of-the art historian and rich user interface, a very strong data gateway that allows connectivity to any data source regardless of the location, including own and third party workflow software and standardization of data models, working on premises or on the cloud. This suite allows an easy configuration of new asset into the environment reducing configuration time to as low as 5 seconds, thus reducing time of commissioning, configuration, data validation with immediate reduction on errors and costs. Rockwell Automation also provides Advanced Process Optimization Software through its Pavilion product suite.

PROCESS ANALYZERS

AIMS: The Seven Deadly Sins Of Process Analyzer Applications On‐line process gas analyzers comprise a relatively small proportion of the capital investment in a grass roots project but they require detailed attention if they are to be successfully implemented and fully exploited. The chain is long and the mistakes are many. It runs from front end engineering design, to EPC detailed design, through systems integration, selection of technique and vendor, factory acceptance test, start up, handover and a life cycle support strategy. The article follows a theme made popular in previous papers on The Seven Deadly Sins of Sulfur Recovery, and The Seven Deadly Sins of Amine Treating. The intent is to offer examples as well as quantitative information based on historical experience of analyzer engineering and sample handling details. The subject is one of the least understood facets of a project, the profession is occupied by people from various fields who have made it their life’s work and this is a collection of their findings.

1) Introduction

The objective of this article is to give an audience of primarily process design engineers a detailed view of the problem areas relating to a typical slate of process analyzers found in a large grass roots project. The examples are mostly related to gas processing, and sulfur recovery unit operations familiar to this group. There are many specialty sub‐suppliers to the sulfur recovery and gas processing industry and many of them display and present materials at conferences such as ISA. These companies include the engineering firms who license the proprietary processes, catalyst and solvent vendors, mechanical devices, specialty instrumentation suppliers, and process testers and problem solvers. The experts from these various companies make it their life’s work to gather expertise in a core area and they are valued for their experience.

The process analyzer business can certainly be characterized in this way. No one graduates as an analyzer engineer, it is a profession populated by chemical, electrical, instrumentation and mechanical engineers. It is supplemented by various branches of science such as physicists, chemists and spectroscopists who have migrated from research to the applied end of their profession. To provide the widest possible view and to generate debate the four authors are specifically from distinct aspects of the process analyzer industry. There is not always agreement as to where the root cause of an analyzer problem lies but there is consensus on the leading problem areas, their general remedies and this short list of “seven sins”.

The four aspects of the analyzer industry represented in this article are: • The process analyzer vendor, supplier of discreet devices ranging from the simple (pH,oxygen) to the more complex (gas chromatographs, UV photometric, tail gas and ultra‐low concentration moisture analyzers). • The systems integrator (“SI”) contractor; responsible for the combined package of sample transport, sample conditioning, analyzer device, validation, utilities, shelter, HVAC, and communications. • •

The contract maintenance provider, responsible for lifetime support of the total system provided by the systems integrator. The independent performance testing contractor. Given the reactivity and toxicity of sulfur recovery process gases on‐site lab results are considered the reference method for H2S / SO2 tail gas and related analyzer applications. In many cases systemic analyzer problems are not discovered until this test is complete.

It is difficult to have a perspective of the process analytical industry from the vantage of any one company or enterprise or even for the combined experience described above. In this regard it was fortunate to have access to a recent paper as well as a panel discussion from four highly regarded analytical professionals taking a self‐critical look at our industry. These two sources (the four resource companies and the technical review paper) were invaluable for describing trends and to point out the challenges as well as some of the self‐ inflicted sins of our own profession. This collection of sins is not intended to present a scolding of the FEED, EPC, end‐user or the hydrocarbon processing industry in general. To be sure, some of these sins are reflections of where the vendor or integrator has failed. The intent is to draw attention to areas where excessive costs are entailed, analyzers fail to meet their expectations, processes are not fully optimized and the full benefit of the analyzers are never realized due to a negative or legacy reputation.

2) Overview of the Process Analyzer Industry

It is worthwhile for the process engineering audience to have an idea of the breadth, scope and size of the process analyzer industry. The overall market size as well as the spend on an individual project is relatively small as compared to total project costs but the impact far outweighs the cost. Process analyzers are always a fashionable topic.

PROCESS ANALYZERS

one third is under‐designed; perhaps one third is adequate. Sample systems are not optimized for the analytical technology or process application. Many sample system components are still not “fit for purpose. It is difficult and expensive to design analytical systems to meet multi‐national hazardous area requirements, global harmonization would be welcome. Most process analyzers are not required for process control but are used for process automation. The full capability and features of a process analyzer are rarely utilized, for example; overrange measurement, COS and CS2 in tail gas, COS in TGTU absorber off‐gas, combustibles in fired heaters (with O2 measurement) as well as ethernet and web enabled communications which have safety benefits.

3) The Seven Deadly Sins of Process Analyzer Applications 3.1) Lack of Knowledgeable Analyzer Engineers at the FEED and EPC Stages A problem in the process analyzer industry is the amount of time it takes to acquire an adequate engineering skill set to be able to address the wide variety of disciplines involved in a typical project. The majority of the qualified analyzer engineers are employed at the systems integration level and relatively few at the EPC and practically none at the front end engineering design (FEED) level. Some examples of how this impacts a project; •

•

It is accepted in the industry that competition amongst analyzer vendors has encouraged technology advances, led to improved performance and cost improvements.2 New technologies with a proven track record still get passed over because it was not used in the last project ten years prior. In defense of the above, the analyzer industry does not provide sufficient information to evaluate the performance of different technologies for different applications. Relative to spending on DCS and discrete devices there are proportionally many more instrument and DCS engineers than analyzer engineers at the EPC level. Critical evaluation of sample system design for specific applications is lacking. Most sample systems are designed based on duplicating previous projects with new features added haphazardly.

The Cost: • Savings of 10‐30% depending requirements and technology.

shelter

The Remedy: • A detailed review of all analyzer tags by the end‐ user and rationalization at the FEED stage that the technology and method have been updated. • Retain, nurture and organically grow a cadre of analyzer engineers. • Failing that, retain independent analyzer project consultants to review the technology and look at improvements.

3.2) Piping Engineering, Major Mistakes Designed In at the FEED and EPC Stages

From the perspective of the system integrator, a If analyzer engineers had to pick one single problem key point is that all drawings and documentation area that is universal it would be piping design. It is have to be approved by EPC engineers. It can at not so much that mistakes are made, it is that they are times be beyond their capability and the SI vendor most always impossible to correct or remedy after the needs to get these items in place at site. In addition, fact. Piping design is done well in advance and most it becomes very difficult to manage the analyzer often construction completed by the time an analyzer scope because many of the tie‐in points fall into specialist recognizes a problem. Not to trivialize the other disciplines, many types of engineering are issue but every AIT (Analyzer‐Indicator‐ Transmitter) required at the EPC level and not all of them are looks the same to a piping engineer when in reality a pH measurement is quite different from a close‐coupled familiar with analyzers.

PROCESS ANALYZERS 2.1) The Big Picture:

•

• • • •

The global cumulative value of process control enterprise is USD 409 billion 2009‐2012 or ~USD 136 billion/year; the market is viewed as being flat in this period. Process Analytical Instrumentation (PAI) comprises only 6% of this amount, (~USD 8 billion/year). This is a relatively small portion of the total spent on process control but it draws a great deal of attention in the control world. The market figures are based on all industries and by far the chemical process industries (CPI) dominate, accounting for ~70% of all process analyzer applications with utilities and pharmaceutical sharing the balance. Considering only the CPI portion USD 2.85 billion is spent on maintenance, USD 1.75 billion on analyzers, USD 560 million on systems integration and USD 450 million on sample handling systems per annum.

2.3) Trends in the Process Analyzer Industry:

The industry is characterized by widely diverging attributes. It is generally conservative about adopting new technologies, if it works, repeat, repeat, repeat. On the other hand, there are significant advances in analytical technology that are game changers in themselves. How quickly they are implemented varies but here are some general trends; • Fig. 1. Process Analytical Spending by Category

2.2) The Project Picture:

•

According to a major international oil company, integration represents 55% and analyzers 45% of the total cost of an analyzer project. This somewhat contradicts the overall industry figures but can be explained by the fact the CPI spend more on shelters, no doubt influenced by hazardous area (explosion proof ) design. The Systems Integrator breaks the spending down as; Analyzers: 30‐40%, Shelter and Sample System (with commissioning spares and consumable gases): 40‐50%, Fabrication Labour: 8‐10%, Engineering/Design: 8‐10%, Crating & Misc: 2‐5% The 15‐year cost of ownership of an analyzer system is equal to the total capital cost of the fully integrated system. Half of this cost is labor, the other half is parts. Of the half invested in parts, ~25% is consumables and ~75% replacement parts. Shelter costs for chromatographs are on‐par with the cost of the GC. For example, an analyzer house for eight GCs costs more than the eight GCs. This is the rationale for locating several analyzers in one shelter, which at times is a source of problem in itself.

• • •

Competition amongst analyzer vendors has encouraged technology advances, led to improved performance and constrained cost increases. There is a revolution in spectroscopy with multi‐ component measurement capability competing with GCs. • Analyzers that are close‐coupled to the process (“by‐line”) requiring very little integration are becoming common. Size and weight matter. The “New Sample System Initiative” (NeSSI) allowing for smart sample systems, smaller footprint has gained a modest market acceptance.

2.4) Generalizations:

• The process analyzer industry is largely fragmented and there are many specialist suppliers. There are a few large companies that can supply something in the order of 60% of the applications, some of those with compromise and never all the tags. •

• •

It is hard to buy a bad analyzer, as long as it is properly specified for the stream conditions. It is hard to buy a bad analyzer system, as long as project teams incorporate the design requirements necessary to make the systems work. The price of the shelter and HVAC now dominate the price of the analyzer system. It is uneconomical to supply a shelter for only 1 or 2 analyzers. One third of all analyzer systems are over‐designed;

PROCESS ANALYZERS and are the general rule in the industry. Margins have been tightened and there are more vendors chasing fewer dollars. It is an environment where: •

•

installations (wrong design)

•

And the question remains, how do we establish standard practices and design specifications for process analyzers so that they are implemented properly by process instrumentation and piping designers? The Cost: • Mostly minor. The price paid is usually in terms of a compromised location that has to be lived with for the life cycle of the analyzer, possible HS&E implications. The Remedy: • Review by an experienced analyzer engineer at the early stages of the FEED and then again at the detailed engineering phase. • Bring in specific vendors to solicit their views and list of best practices.

•

3.3) Award of the Systems Integration Contract, Compromises at an Early Stage

It is the opinion of the authors that a great deal more of the basic and detailed design decisions are left to the responsibility of the analyzer system integrator than with any other technical component in a project. The main reason is there are insufficient analyzer engineering resources at the FEED and EPC level to exercise full oversight. As noted elsewhere in this paper, many large gas processing and olefins projects are GC centric and for that reason only the major GC manufacturers are able to competitively bid. If the only tool you have is a hammer then everything looks like a nail. Nearly all analyzer projects are lump‐sum fixed‐price

78 Automation

•

The Systems Integrator looks to supplement their revenue stream in the form of change orders, extending the hand over period or facilitating a maintenance contract for long term maintenance. The reluctance of the systems integrator to purchase specialized sample handling from the analyzer vendor. A recent example in the Gulf region where the SI was adamant to supply their own heat traced lines for SRU tail gas. Their lines were not capable of the 155o C heat duty for SRU tail gas and plugged. The SI prevaricated for eight weeks, left the site and it took six weeks to get the correct lines installed. The Superclaus® SRU was without a tail gas analyzer for 14 weeks and the SI was out of pocket for the correct sample lines. It is an obvious economic and sales driven decision for the systems integrator to try and increase the portion of SI work as cost adders to their project (vs. value added by the analyzer vendor) once they commence. Competition among SIs on integration work is very keen and with lower margins. The industry trend is to make the design of the sampling system, HVAC and communication systems complex to increase the balance of “manufactured” items within the integration portion. The result is then to overkill the sampling system and over‐design certain portions to “grow” the margins. When the EPC is awarded and the budget gone the EPC team sacrifices good analyzers for an oversized HVAC. There have been many situations of the SI buying cheap analyzers, poorly installed but delivered in shelters with +/‐ 1 °C ambient, 60 to 70 % RH which is triple costs vs. a +/‐ 2 °C, 50 to 80 % RH. Also, typically the GC vendor is part of a large field instrumentation group and they have conflicting communications protocols. If field instruments are chosen with X protocol it has a direct influence on the selection of the GC vendor. Hence the SI may not provide the best specific analyzers since they need to communicate through a protocol (closed architecture) instead of some minor work required to do the gateway to a standard open protocol. The analyzer selection process then becomes a victim of the sales strategy from the instrumentation vendor. The situation has to be lived with it but sometimes creates issues that are pushing to select the wrong or inappropriate analyzer. Commercial considerations pushes the selection of specific closed protocols while the analyzer world outside of GC calls for a generic protocol much better served by niche market suppliers. The reluctance of the systems integrator to retain the analyzer vendor for start up and training of end user personnel and check the analyzer has been

PROCESS ANALYZERS properly done. The Cost: • Sometimes significant, 20% or more of the contract in terms of change orders. • Sometimes benign, an example being an SI who inserts themselves deeply into the project with a no bid perpetual maintenance contract in mind. • A USD 12 million analyzer project that requires significant changes after handover

The Remedy:

• • •

Independent advice from outside resources or fully qualified analyzer engineers on staff to oversee SI contracts from start to finish. Be ready for handover when the SI is completed their punch list. Always retain the analyzer vendor for start up of the more complex (category 8‐15, Table 1), the SI will always recommend against this and they should always be corrected. Start up by the vendor is invaluable; they check for mistakes, they ensure warranty validity and can properly train the end user technicians.

3.4) Lack of a Comprehensive Plan to Staff for Start‐up, Training and Maintenance

The most critical time in the life of a process analyzer is start‐up. It is not logged or otherwise measured but the confidence level in an analyzer is determined by the operators and they are the final judge. If the first weeks and months go poorly the road back is long and hard. It has been our direct experience that ~30% of all tail gas analyzers are not placed in closed loop control, maybe fully functioning but not in cascade control. The major reason is lack of trust in (reliability of ) the measurement. The analyzer industry is short‐handed at all levels, the lack of experienced analyzer engineers has been noted and the major reason is there is no specific academic path. Professionals are barely at the journeyman level after ten years’ experience. At the craft level it is a universal problem to adequately staff for the number of analyzer tags in a complex. Part of the problem is overwork of the existing staff discourages newcomers; there is no acknowledgement of the unique skill‐set required nor is there adequate training.

Add to this, the step changes due to new technology opportunities step changes now being driven in maintenance and technical support . • How to deal with skills’ shortage? Maintenance of current process analyzer technology has been identified as an issue for many years but little has been done to alleviate the problem. • Maintenance continues as the largest expense component of the life‐cycle cost equation. Understaffed maintenance organizations are looking outside process analytical industry and SI organizations to contract maintenance providers for help. • PAI products will continue to incorporate advanced (remote) diagnostic functionality. Inversely related to this is the surprising fact most tail gas analyzers are not connected to the digital communication network as almost all other analyzers are. Given the safety aspects and critical process need for this analyzer, it is a requirement. • Current process analytical technology is becoming increasing difficult to maintain due to the high level of training required and lack of highly skilled personnel. Dedicated process analyzer training programs are needed. Following are the metrics used by a major oil company based on a three‐year statistical study of over 10 refineries, oil & gas and sulfur recovery plant complexes. The users derive the following lessons and rationalize their staffing levels based on; • As previously noted not all analyzers are the same. For this study they are scaled 1‐15 in complexity. Categories 1‐7 being relatively simple can be learned with on the job training, categories 8‐15 are more complex and factory training is essential. •

• •

Surprisingly a simple analyzer does not require much more time for preventative maintenance vs. the more complex but the skill set is much more demanding. If the analyzer maintenance team is not staffed to these levels, failure is assured. If a tail gas analyzer is taking much more than 4 hours per month to maintain something is wrong

detail entailing considerable cost.

The Cost: • Everything. If an analyzer is left wanting for maintenance it soon suffers in reliability. When that happens operators lose confidence, the analyzer is not utilized and the entire cost is a waste. The tipping point is not hard to reach but hard to come back from. The Remedy: • A structure and philosophy in place from the start for a preventative maintenance. Recognition that analyzers are distinct from I&E and to staff to the required levels. • Utilize available assets for distance learning to grow skill levels. The Analysis Division of ISA (International Society for Automation) partners with two colleges to provide a distance • learning curriculum (“ATOP”) for the purpose of technician training. It serves as an excellent benchmark and resource for this purpose.

3.5) Sample Transport Mistakes

Sample transport is the least understood area of science of on‐line analytics outside our own industry. It is dominated by the laws of physics and unlike process piping in every way. While we have detailed specifications for shelters and analyzers, not very much of the analyzer data sheets describe sample systems. It gets treated as an art form, designed and handled differently by everyone who builds one. Fundamentally, the same physical laws, chemical effects, and equally important, philosophical laws apply to each system which can perhaps be best described by; “Never ascribe to bad design what can be explained by stupidity, but don’t rule out bad design” One of the classic examples in process analyzers is the measurement of low level moisture in the 0.1….1.0 ppm region and typical values for a natural gas complex. Water is a highly polar compound and there is a world of difference in transporting a 10 to 100 ppm moisture event vs. a 0 to 1.0 ppm moisture event both in wet‐up and dry‐down times. The following example illustrates the difference of the response time for a 0 to 1.0 ppm event for various types of surfaces at 60oC and 30m, 350 cc / min.

There is a specific example of a current project in the Gulf. The FEED had all moisture analyzers located in a common house resulting in sample transport lines of 150m. At the insistence of the analyzer vendor, the systems integrator and the EPC a comprehensive simulation test was performed so the time lag could be quantified and the implications noted before committing to the design. At the very least the material and operating temperature of the heat‐traced tubing needed to be carefully tested under controlled conditions before committing to the

Fig. 4. Wet‐up & Dry‐down Times for Various Materials, 0.1 to 1.0 ppm Moisture (Conditions: Temperature 60oC, Length 30 m, Flow 350 cc/min)

Other problem areas and points to consider include; • Effective control of the process can be achieved by placing sample taps in a variety of places. The one which gives the least lag may give the most cause for maintenance headaches. The one which gives longer lag may give more accurate and reliable results decisions to be discussed and weighed. • Consolidating several analyzer tags in a single building for the sake of economy of scale resulting is sample transport systems are not optimized for performance. Can we rationalize the economic trade‐off of the reduced cost for large, centralized shelters and higher cost and complexity for transport of samples over longer distances from the take‐off point to the analyzer? • Most process analyzer systems that require heat‐ traced sample transport tubing have poorly designed transition interfaces and control/ monitoring systems. • The impact of proper sample transport tubing design on analytical measurement performance is not well‐understood or well‐defined. • Heat‐traced tubing systems for process analyzer systems are now one of the most significant costs for the sample system. The Cost: • The driving force behind longer sample transport distances is the cost savings realized in consolidating several analyzers into one central location, the analyzer house. The saving is a false economy if the measurement is compromised by the transport time. There is more than just a transport volume calculation to consider, there are the surface effects to consider as well. The Remedy: • The example of 150 m sample lines was set in stone at the FEED stage. The EPC had all systems integrators quote the long sample lines and it was not until the end user, EPC, systems integrator and analyzer vendor questioned the design that the empirical test was organized. Devote more time at the FEED stage and question the compromise

vs. the savings realized for long sample transport distances. Engage the vendor in these discussions, no one knows the application like the vendor, they have all the scars to prove it and in the end that is what you pay for; someone not to make someone else’s mistakes.

Poor sample line installations

3.6) Validation; Test Results vs. Analyzer, Analyzer vs. Lab The process analyzer world is populated by people who have to have knowledge not only of their profession but also of every process where an analyzer is in service because every analyzer will be called into question at some time. The skill set of an analyzer engineer and technician is said to be a mix of chemistry, physics, electronics, software, control engineering, sample handling, common sense, perseverance, black magic and after it is all done, the ability to persuade others the analyzer is reporting the correct value. Some analyzers are more stable than others in terms of zero and span drift. UV analyzers for example exhibit excellent span drift qualities that are near zero, do not require routine span gas validation and the exercise should be avoided. Other analyzers utilize span filters or on‐board validation resources that are traceable to National Bureau of Standards values and can be used as the reference method. Other analyzers, FTIR for example require a library data base in order to model the analysis. No two detection principles are the same. Some of the pitfalls and mistakes; • Operator or engineer comparing GC results with analyzer results and jumping to the wrong conclusion. In sulfur plants GC analyses are typically dry (approx 25% moisture) whereas analyzer results are always lower since they are wet by the 25%. • For a stack analyzer in addition to moisture correction there may be sample conversion of trace species like H2S, COS, CS2 to SO2 which will not agree with a stack sample by GC analysis which has been sampled carefully, quenched quickly. • A major US refinery with span gas spending USD 1 million/year (primarily CEMs) deduced by comparison that 10% of all their span gases were delivered with incorrect values. Fresh span gas can be wrong, if suspect get a second bottle.

It is a generalization but usually the device or analysis that is reading “low” is the one in error assuming cross interference has been eliminated. It is relatively easy to lose an analyte to reaction or absorption but nearly impossible to create it. Stain tubes are only accurate +/‐ 25% at best and subject to cross interference. Use them as indicators only because that’s what they are (and correct for dry basis). The method by which lab samples are taken and the time from sample to lab are critical parameters. If operators are taking samples they require specialist training. An analyzer technician can say with confidence if an on‐line analyzer is reading correctly, if in doubt, look for the not so obvious process reason.

The Cost: • Time and resources spent in examining an on‐line process analytical discrepancy. • Damage caused by an extended excursion when an analyzer is called into question. • An analyzer abandoned (not utilized) because the results are suspect (unexpected). The Remedy: • In the case of any question from operations as to the veracity of an analyzer assemble a team to look for the probable cause, assume nothing, look at all factors. • Use all resources, contact your analyzer vendor “have you seen this before?” it is likely they have and the advice is free.

3.7) The Analyzer Industry Is Not Forthcoming with Information Concerning Mis‐application, Interferences and Potential Contamination.

This is a self‐confessed sin from the analyzer industry. In the interest of fair bidding practices system integrators and analyzer vendors work within a strict protocol and standard specifications. There is no incentive to point out errors or discrepancies and in fact there is dis‐ incentive if the knowledgeable bidder does not wish to give advantage to a competitor or sees opportunity to be low bid and gain it back with change orders. The sin is characterized by; • Critical evaluation of different analytical technology for specific applications is lacking. In many instances, there are multiple technologies available to perform a component measurement and a rigorous evaluation is not undertaken at the FEED, EPC or systems integration stage. • Analyzer sample systems get treated as an Art‐Form designed and handled differently by everyone who builds one. • The process analytical industry does not provide sufficient information to evaluate the performance of different technologies for different applications, particularly relative to component interference and

potential contamination. Budget constraints at the EPC level often mean only major GC manufacturers can effectively bid for huge analyzer projects. They understand their own products very well however they have much less knowledge of other analyzer sub suppliers. It is then difficult to get access to the end‐user project analyzer system engineer. How do we differentiate the value related to performance of analytical technology so that the purchase is not just on the lowest price?

The Cost: • Not having the best available technology. Having to replace an analyzer in the early years of a project. An analyzer that is no longer supported. The Remedy: • Do your homework; do not take the FEED contractor’s data sheets as doctrine. • Ask for a proven track record and references. • Ask various vendors for alternatives, attend industry conferences to stay current and get unbiased advice from other users.

4.1) Conclusions, Challenges

Recommendations

and

The credits delivered by analyzers far outweigh the costs; high availability is the key to capturing the credits. Minimum cost can lead to poor availability and high cost of ownership. Dedicate much more attention to analyzer systems at the FEED stage, deeper intervention on the SI at the EPC stage, retain career analyzer professionals. Let an analyzer engineer sign off on the piping design Seriously rationalize the spending on HVAC and the use of long sample lines. Do not allow communication decisions to compromise analyzer selection. Move the analyzers closer to the pipe. If a closed shelter is required; use cabinets when possible and utilize analyzers houses when necessary. How do we engage in constructive dialogue with process designers and process control engineers to optimize process analytical measurements and performance?

About C2C

The Choice to Change (C2C) was founded by Eva Kernova, and Sunil Baroi, in July 2010. They chose to change the lives of poverty-stricken children in the slums of Dhaka by paving an educational pathway for them to follow. Attaining any type of formal education would have been impossible for these underprivileged children without the help of such a non-profit organization. The school now comprises of 148 children, 9 teachers headed by a headmaster, social worker, a nurse and a head-cook. In 2013 DMS Global partnered with C2C to cover the administration and marketing costs as well as the responsibility of the fundraising for the school operations as part of their CSR initiative.
