HOUSTON – Honeywell Process Solutions has released Digital Suites for Oil and Gas. It is software that is designed to help boost production performance by 3 to 5% while improving operational safety, the company reported.

Digital Suites for Oil and Gas is intended to meet challenges with data-driven solutions that are ready for new operations or integrated into existing production environments; while helping to ensure that essential safety procedures perform as designed, operators are fully trained, alarms are managed and enforced, and production performance is instantly available to detect and mitigate potential events.

The new software is an integrated offering, but each suite is available separately. The six suites are: Operational Data; Process Safety; Production Surveillance; Equipment Effectiveness; Production Excellence; and Operational Performance.

The created software is in response to demands for safer and more productive operations in oil and natural gas production, said Honeywell. The production improvements are driven by a combination of better productivity, higher uptime and more efficient remote operations, and can produce a return on investment in as little as six months, the company added.

“Upstream oil and gas producers tell us they have access to more real-time data than ever, but access to that data alone is not enough to improve performance – you also need digital intelligence to make sense of all the data being collected,” said Ali Raza, vice president and general manager, Honeywell Process Solutions. “Digital Suites for Oil and Gas turns data into digital intelligence that helps operators make critical decisions faster by capturing, managing, and analyzing the right production information.”
