Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to improve data gathering from oilfield wells (GEA: Gassi El Agreb oilfield case study) by the integration of deported autonomous flowmeters installed on these wells in a DCS control system. Indeed, oil and gas industry is very much linked to technological progress of electronics and informatics; this has allowed a considerable evolution of production processes control. This evolution is translated by process control techniques change: from pneumatic systems to electronic systems, from analog to digital ones and then from centralized control to distributed one which we commonly call DCS (Distributed Control System).
