METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTEGRATED ASSET MANAGEMENT UTILIZING MULTI-LEVEL MODELING OF OIL FIELD ASSETS

摘要

A method for creating an integrated asset management system for an oilfield, the method including: (a) a metamodel have classes and subclasses representing asset components and component connectors at multiple levels of i detail for modeling a plurality of oilfield-domain specific software applications and their associated input and output data signals, wherein the metamodel is adapted and configured for generating instantiated models at multiple levels of detail of a plurality of different oilfields by user selection of components and component connectors for each given oilfield; (b) a graphical user interface configured and adapted for user selection of components and component connectors for instantiated a model for each given oilfield; (c) a least one model interpreter configured and adapted for communication between different instantiated models; (d) an XML schema configured and adapted for storing input and output signals of the a plurality of oilfield-domain specific software applications; and (e) an assumption manager configured and adapted for maintaining assumptions consistently between the instantiated models and multiple levels of instantiated models.
