Eigen Wins Small Business Award

Offshore Oil and Gas digitalisation software provider Eigen, has delivered a new version of the Barrier Status Panel with Lundin Energy Norway on its Edvard Grieg asset.

Offshore oil and gas digitalisation software provider and systems integrator, Eigen, and independent gas and oil company, Wintershall Dea, have signed a long term agreement for the provision of services and software licences for Eigen’s Ingenuity platform and mobile apps. The agreement means that Wintershall Dea will now progress the development and roll-out of its Production Technology Work Bench with Eigen’s Ingenuity as a core element.
Following a successful pilot on its Brage platform, Wintershall Dea is progressing with this ambitious project, with Eigen’s cloud based Ingenuity platform as the application layer and front-end, connected via Cognite’s CDF to the Wintershall Dea Data Hub.

Murray Callander, Eigen, UK, explains how traditional views of big data benefits in the oilfield are giving way to the rise of micro lakes, distributed twins and distributed intelligence.
Looking back over the past three or four years in the oilfield, big data and data lake projects have been regularly heralded as a key foundation of digital transformation. Companies are justifiably attracted to the idea of pooling all their data into a single source and plugging into machine learning tools to gain detailed insights.

Offshore Oil and Gas digitalisation software provider Eigen, has begun development of a new Realtime context to the Barrier Status Panel functionality at Edvard Grieg. The new feature will be implemented at the platform in the Norwegian North Sea, which is operated by Lundin Energy Norway.
The new phase of the solution will give instant visibility of the impact of realtime signals (such as inhibits or device alerts) on the status of Safety Barriers. Sometimes termed ‘weak signals’ these low level signals can give advance warning of problems when seen in context.

Gareth Davies, Eigen, UK, discusses different process methods for achieving digitisation.
Several technologies have accelerated offshore productivity and performance in recent times and these have declined substantially in cost. With the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), remote sensing, data combination and dissemination, cloud computing, industrial internet, block-chain, analytics and artificial intelligence, the foundations of the 4th Industrial Revolution are firmly in place for the oil and gas sector.

Eigen engineers have deployed IT infrastructure, networks, systems and specialist applications for Oil & Gas operators in the Caspian since 2003. Since then, they have been supporting advanced operational technology systems in the region with numerous upgrades and systems and data migration projects, amidst a period of substantial technological change
As a key element of this delivery, Eigen has supported a large Aspentech installed base of six IP.21 historians, which have been customised to support the digital oil field applications in use since 2006.

When the owners of Norwegian oil firm Aker BP decided to digitize its assets and operations, they searched high and low for the right software company. But they failed to find a suitable one.

The project dramatically reduces the time required to identify and analyse Operational Risks in the form of Barrier status.

Offshore Oil and Gas digitalisation software provider and systems integrator, Eigen, has released an app that equips Digital Workers with live access to real-time and other operational information, using wearable devices.
Available today and being used by Lundin Norway as the first user, Eigen has developed the technology as part of a pilot with Honeywell to meet Lundin Norway’s digital vision.

Improving productivity without jeopardising safety means Oil & Gas companies need much better control over uncertainty.
To prevent accidents in the Oil & Gas and other industries, leaders need an accurate picture of their current and emerging risks, and their relative importance, to be able to deploy their resources effectively against them.

In collaboration with oil and gas company Lundin Norway, software provider Eigen has designed an app which pairs with wearable devices to provide oil and gas offshore workers with real-time information.
Using the tool, offshore ‘digital’ workers are given instant access to operational data through the app itself or a headset with a visor interface. Information about industrial equipment can be accessed either through image processing or by manually entering search terms, offering data on past or planned maintenance, recently generated alarms, live performance data and documentation.

Digital Chris is a very valuable person. He’s what’s referred to as a “Barrel Chaser” he’s the trouble shooter, the ideas man, the guy that gets things done.
A friend of mine runs operations for one of the larger players in the North Sea. He has a chap who works for him, and for the purposes of anonymity, I’ll call him Digital Chris. Digital Chris is a very valuable person. He’s what’s referred to as a “Barrel Chaser” he’s the trouble shooter, the ideas man, the guy that gets things done. Digital Chris adds thousands of barrels of production each year. Production that would otherwise be locked up due to process constraints, lost through shut-in’s and trips or lost through delays getting things back on-line. Digital Chris probably contributes a few million pounds of cash that drops straight to the bottom line.

How can operators capture greater value through making better digital decisions?
Much has been written about Digitalisation recently but it’s often less clear that different approaches are needed depending on the nature of the business goal. There are essentially two main types of digitalisation – those focused on using data to make co-ordination decisions to sanction and control work (referred to as Digital Decisions), and those that embed information processing so the way work is performed changes (referred to as Digital Execution).

Eigen, the Offshore Oil and Gas digitalisation software provider and systems integrator, has today opened a new office in Aberdeen.
Headed up by a new Head of North Sea Sales, the new presence adds to its existing UK HQ in Surrey. Keith Wildridge will lead operations at the new office by focusing on providing local support for customers. He brings significant experience to the region, having worked in Aberdeen for the past 17 years at Oil and Gas sector organisations including Shell, The Peak Group, and AGR.

Oil and gas technology specialists Eigen are working on new software to improve safety on an offshore Norwegian field.

Oil prices may be staging a cautious recovery, but the pressure on upstream oil and gas operators to make their operations more efficient remains. Central to this process is digital technology, and the effective use of big data. Gas Matters speaks with Murray Callander, chief technology officer of digital systems developer Eigen, about the latest digital trends in the gas sector and how they are shaping the industry.

The past decade has seen several Oil & Gas operator technologies advancing quickly in performance and declining rapidly in price.
Since the turn of this century, productivity growth has become an increasingly prominent government priority. The past decade has seen several Oil & Gas operator technologies advancing quickly in performance and declining rapidly in price, and they are believed to hold the key to enhancing industrial productivity in the sector. These include IoT, remote sensing, data combination and dissemination, cloud computing, autonomous vehicles, industrial internet, additive manufacture, block-chain, analytics and artificial intelligence. Together they form the foundations of what is commonly referred to as the 4th Industrial Revolution. In line with this revolution, 2017 has seen huge investments into digitalisation in the industry. Statoil unveiled its 1Bln Kroner digitalisation initiative, BP invested $20m in an AI company called Beyond Limits and GE forecast that their digitalisation platform will be part of a $6Bln revenue stream by 2020.
