n Reduced onsite cost and efforts with wireless automationn Separator automation allowed for improved insight and visibility

APPLICATION
Onshore production – portable separator skid packages

CUSTOMER
Major producer in the Permian Basin

CHALLENGE
The rapid decline rate of shale wells requires tailoring of facilities toachieve precision with current production. Facilities that are designedfor early heavy flow rates are not optimally utilized for lesser rates.
These lesser rates can occur in as early as two years after initialproduction. Portable separators allow the units to be deployed where
they are most effective.
Timely and accurate information in the separator process is vital for
better reservoir modeling and local well control.

SOLUTION
A Coriolis Interface Module (CIM) mounted in a FloBoss™107 gives
inexpensive access to Coriolis meters mounted on each of the three legsof the separator output. The operator has real time surveillance of thewell’s performance. The data can be sent to the reservoir engineers sothey can build better models. Diagnostics collected via the CIM are used todetermine if the separator is operating efficiently.
The FloBoss107 is used to control, gather data, and perform wellmonitoring for reservoir management. They are also using one
FloBoss107 on the separator and one on the wellhead. The wellhead
unit reads the tubing and casing pressures and will shut in the well if it
exceeds the set point pressures. The wireless function communicates thepressures back to the separator for monitoring and reporting to SCADA.
If they have a shutdown situation on the separator, it communicates withthe wellhead RTU to shut in the well remotely. Once the error has been
fixed at the separator and the wellhead unit is reset, it takes and overrides
from the operator to bring the well back on line.
In addition, separator levels are being controlled with the PID control loops
implemented in the FloBoss107. Well shutdowns are controlled by using
the Emerson SmartProcess™ Oil & Gas Application Suite’s Surface Control
Manager. This allows the setup of trigger points from multiple points.
Surface Control Manager allows the user to configure the FloBoss107 toperform simplified control, logic, and mathematical functions using easyto-configure pre-designed menus.
