About

Asset performance management – field-proven digital technology Virtuoso - Wood maintains a wide suite of applicable program modules as part of its Virtuoso® suite of software systems, including modules like Virtuoso®/Advise, Virtuoso®/Monitor, Virtuoso®/LDS, Virtuoso®/Control and Virtuoso®/Optimize for pipeline monitoring, control and optimization, Virtuoso®/Train for operator training, Virtuoso®/ES for engineering simulation and Virtuoso®/VMS for inferential metering (or our Virtual Metering System®). These robust, field-proven modules are used as the building blocks for any project implementation. In addition, if required by the Client’s operations, specialized modules can be developed and integrated to the fit-for-purpose system. All Virtuoso® systems are designed and delivered to be: • Extremely robust, for 24/7 continuous operations • User friendly, for all levels of users • Built-for-purpose and flexibility, meets or exceeds the Client’s operational requirements • Accurate, with rigorous simulation and “look-ahead” functionalities • Very reliable and dependable, provides the necessary surveillance/monitoring and forecasting functions ProDyn and VP Link – These packages offer a feature-reach data visualisation interface and rigorous process simulations designed for built-for-purpose fidelity process dynamics simulation. They have also been used extensively as operator training systems (OTS) to train our clients' operators and facilitate improved comprehension and retention. Where required, the systems can be supplemented with a number of commercial dynamic simulation engines and can emulate or interface to various control systems in order to give the operators a real-world experience. Real-time performance monitoring visualisation In addition, Wood also offers other performance visualisation tools. These include: ProRPM – real-time performance monitoring software interfaces to various data sources such as plant historians, distributed control systems (DCS), enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, etc. and presents that data in a flexible, user-configurable dashboard that can be customised to each user. These systems also include calculation engines to calculate performance metrics and interface to various commercial simulation engines to enable comparing real-time operation to asset design. Environmental compliance monitoring ENVisionTM – helps clients’ environmental and operational staff efficiently manage complex air regulation calculations and monitoring requirements, including analyser QA/QC, in real time, 24/7. Envision provides the automated, reliable data assurance and calculations a plant needs to operate in compliance and more cost-effectively. This purpose-built, dedicated system allows a focus on higher-value activities while continuing to meet regulatory agency compliance requirements. ENVision serves the plant from the control room to the board room. ProGHG – complete solutions to assist petroleum and natural gas producers in automating the greenhouse gas (GHG) reporting process. The application includes data input, data import from various existing databases, data integration, data validation, emission calculations and analysis.
