Overview

Optimisation of process performance requires a good understanding of the rationale behind the design of the process. Unfortunately, this rationale is all too often lost in the transfer of information between vendors and operators. We believe that this is due to a lack of structured ways of representing and transferring this data. This seminar presents a new approach, which has been developed in the context of a North Sea oilfield development and has been formalised as a proposed addition to the DEXPI standard.
