   Purpose and field of application

Production Control System (Elekton-PCS) is a SaaS system (software as a service). It is a form of cloud service model provided to the clients through subscription, it is ready to be used and is fully serviced by the vendor. The supplier independently maintains the servers and the software, providing access to the customers through internet.

The main advantage of the SaaS model for the client is that there are no costs associated with installing, updating and maintaining the equipment and the software running on it.

In the SaaS model:

  • the application is adapted for remote use;
  • payment is charged either in the form of a monthly subscription fee, or based on the volume of transactions;
  • technical support for the application is included in the payment;
  • modernization and updating of the application is carried out promptly and transparently for customers.

As with all forms of cloud computing, customers do not pay to own the software as such, but to rent it (that is, to use it through a web interface). Thus, in contrast to the classical scheme, the customer incurs in relatively small recurring cost, and he does not need to make big investments in the purchase of an application program, the necessary software, hardware and its maintenance.

A server or a system of servers can be installed in the JSC ELEKTON data center, or if requested, it can be installed in other data centers in the customer›s country (to comply with the local laws and regulations). JSC ELEKTON provides the service for accessing to server resources.

The server software has been developed and supported by ELEKTON specialists. The server’s administration and operation control is carried out by ELEKTON specialists. JSC ELEKTON is responsible for the protection and integrity of information. The information protection is carried out using the latest available technologies. The server software has been developed in compliance with OWASP recommendations.

ELEKTON PCS allows the operator to have remotely access, from any part of the world where Internet is available, in order to monitor well parameters, control VSD and ESP parameters, change VSD settings, and also get access to archived data for the entire period of the system operation. The data is displayed in any convenient form: graphs, charts, tables.

The system includes ELEKTON-FCM - Field Cellular Modem with a specialized software developed by ELEKTON, which, using cellular networks, provides access to RS-485, RS-232, ethernet interfaces. If the customer already has access to the Internet on the end devices (VSD, surface panels), then ELEKTON-FCM is not necesary. To increase the security of the system, the data transmission channel between the ELEKTON-FCM and the server is protected by encryption. ELEKTON FCM can be used for one equipment or for all units in the well pad, any device with the specified interfaces, using any protocol can be connected to the system. This allows quickly connection to any VSD or surface panel from different brands (for example: Centrilift, Borets, Novomet, Triol, etc.

ELEKTON-PCS is especially convenient when working with equipment located on remote areas, where it is difficult to reach for performance monitoring, checking the general technical condition, for starting / stopping and monitoring parameters.

The system includes the following functions:

Monitoring:

  • Data from the downhole sensor - the temperature of the motor and the well, vibration, pressure at the pump intake, pressure at the pump discharge;
  • ESP parameters supported by the VSD controller;
  • Operation parameters of additional equipment (if any);
  • Notification criteria for VSD critical parameters;
  • Uploading the general chronology of VSD events to the server for storage.

Management:

  • Remote change of VSD settings, including remote ESP start and stop;
  • Remote control of additional equipment (if any).

Notifications:

  • Warning operators about any deviations on the VSD parameters from the established criteria in order to prevent emergencies, these events can be stored in the archive.


Tasks solved by the system:

  • Implementation of optimal ESP operation modes, this can be achieved by constant monitoring of operating parameters and timely regulation by operators;
  • Prevention of emergency situations due to timely intervention by the operator and, consequently, reducing the time for their localization and elimination;
  • Accumulation of statistical archival data for their subsequent use for planning and forming the optimal operating ESP parameters;
  • Providing operators with necessary real-time information on the VSD and ESP operation;
  • Travel expenses reduction for on-site VSD monitoring.


ELEKTON PCS has been successfully tested by HCL Security AppScan Standard (formerly IBM Security AppScan) and SSL Server Test (Qualys SSL Labs). As a result of the testing, it received the highest safety rating A +.
