Edge-To-Cloud Architecture Acquires Real-Time Data From Remote Oil & Gas Facilities
Automation Solutions Ecuador (ASE) developed a cloud-based solution for Smart Energy Applications that enables real-time monitoring, data acquisition, and reporting for Gas-to-Grid (G2G) systems located in remote oil & gas facilities in the Amazon. Smart Energy provides Gas to Grid in a Box (G2G_B) solutions to produce energy using the gas associated with the crude oil extraction process. The G2G_B system uses gas without treatment to reduce carbon footprint. It comprises a generation unit (Waukesha), a control and synchronism unit (Woodward Easygen), and a load shedding unit (Multilin). The project developed by ASE was crucial for Smart Energy to get real-time and historical data of electrical and mechanical parameters, KPIs, and automatic reporting of technical, financial, and environmental results. This allowed Smart Energy headquarters to assess the impact of its solutions. Additionally, the project allowed the solution to be maintained with OpEx instead of CapEx.
