Title : Unlocking efficiency in oil and gas lifting monitoring: The impact of 144 custody metering system data integration on PT pertamina EP’s digital transformation
Abstract:
This paper presents the implementation of a real-time Integrated Monitoring System (IMS) for oil and gas lifting operations at PT Pertamina EP (PEP), Indonesia's leading oil and gas company. The total number of the custody metering systems involved in the oil and gas lifting process is 144 metering systems throughout Indonesia. Oil and gas lifting activities surveillance used to be carried out manually based on reports obtained from operators on daily basis. It can't be carried out real time and on demand, especially for metering systems operated by transporters and consumers. The purpose of this paper is to describe the implementation of a data acquisition system for monitoring oil and gas lifting activities in real-time at 144 lifting points of the PEP. By leveraging industry-standard Modbus TCP/IP protocols, the IMS seamlessly integrates diverse data streams into a unified platform, enabling real-time monitoring and decision-making at an unprecedented scale.
The implementation of this data acquisition system enables real-time, online monitoring of oil and gas lifting activities at 144 lifting points, providing instant access to critical operational data. It enables PEP to make timely decisions by optimizing the lifting process, reducing manual monitoring costs by up to USD 3.4 Million annually, improving safety risk by minimizing workers mobilization to the field, and providing a more transparent report to stakeholders (government and holding company). The development of IMS is one of PEP's digital transformation in operations and integrity management. This digital transformation marks a critical step in PEP's long-term strategy, laying the groundwork for future advancements in analytics operations
