Achieving Operational Excellence with Automated Hydrocarbon Accounting with Sigmafine at Reliance

Due to Jamnagar’s large production volumes, oil movements and production data has to be handled efficiently and it is virtually impossible to manually verify the accuracy and validity of this data. Automating the hydrocarbon accounting process for such a huge complex thus becomes of immense importance in order to maintain and improve margins. A well-designed automation platform facilitates data validation and approval of production and oil movements’ data at the business layer. A timely identification of inaccuracies of process data with the use of a good data reconciliation software plays a significant role in conditioning of data. The importance of accurate data in “Digitalization” era is also discussed. This presentation addresses issues faced by hydrocarbon manufacturing industries, the unconditional management commitment and support in these endeavors, and the standardization of automation processes. It also addresses the importance of management support from the design stage together with an automation vision that will result in consolidation of a good integrated platform to achieve operational excellence. The presentation concludes with key recommendations from experience that reinforce the thesis that – Digital technology is going to be a key enabler for achieving operational excellence in the Hydrocarbon Industry and well-conditioned data will produce the basis of digitalization for this industry.
