The medium term energy outlook remains robust and there has never been a more important time for companies to position themselves to deal with longer term. Having a production-centred plant is the biggest enabler for achieving optimal positioning on the cost curve. A production centred plant is one that places priority on Efficiency, Availability and Reliability; Safety & Security; and Human Reliability.
This whitepaper outlines:
- where you can make improvements to production and engineering
- getting bang for your buck on projects
- how digitalization is an enabler
- a case study matching well deliverability to topside power generation and compressor availability was able to boost FPSO production by 9,000 b/d

Driving flow assurance through effective KPI setting, analytics and digital twin technology
Aug 15, 2019
In the past, when oil prices were higher, upstream producers were very focused on managing their assets for maximum production volume. However, in the current and forecast business environment, there is a much greater need to manage for value. Maximum value is not always maximum flow; this can sometimes lead to value destruction. So what does managing for value mean for an upstream producer?
