PDMS Benefits
"Getting
reliable and timely production data is an essential component of the
governance of petroleum resources."
DataHorizon's Production Data Management System (PDMS) brings a
range of benefits to the national governmental monitoring function:
| |
For
monitoring and surveillance:
|
- Data that is
up-to-date and timely
- Secure transmission
from Operators
- Data that can be
readily checked for consistency and accuracy
- Data can be
monitored in aggregate, or down to field or well level if required
|
- At well level, data can
be collected on well tests, to support proposed production rates.
- Production reporting
facilities, including export to Excel or other formats
- Once finalised, data
can be passed to royalty systems, and is archival, thus taking on its role
as a National Data Repository for production data
|
| |
For planning and forecasting:
 |
- Production data forms a long-term resource useful for future
assessments of new fields
- System can store development plans for new fields
- Forecasts based on development plans
- Forecasts and summaries at National level down through operator and
field levels.
|
|
| |
With additional PDMS modules:
 |
- Accurate data collection at export terminals, including liftings and
stock levels, with secure transmission, and reporting facilities.
- Collection of real-time data from export meters, tank levels, and
other sources, to assist in surveillance, with website tools to review
and download data.

The DataHorizon Focus
The key to the DataHorizon PDMS is that it is focused entirely on the needs of the
engineers and staff of national regulatory authorities, for capturing and
monitoring petroleum production data. It is not an adaptation of systems
designed for Operator usage, but a system fully designed for its national
purpose from the start.
