Emerson Launches DeltaV Mobile and Roxar RMS 10,1

Emerson Puts Digital Plant in Palm of Your Hand with New Mobile Platform
Emerson is launching DeltaV Mobile, a new platform that leverages Industrial Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to empower the manufacturing engineer of the future with the most complete access to real-time data, trends and insight to make better-informed, critical operations decisions – securely from anywhere in the world.

Part of Emerson’s Plantweb digital ecosystem, DeltaV Mobile fuses smartphone technology with process control data to make operational intelligence available 24/7 for its customers— which include oil and gas operations, refineries, chemical plants, and life sciences facilities —for improved safety, reliability and operational performance.

The digital plant of the future uses DeltaV Mobile to remove the confines of the control room and enable the digital worker— managers, engineers, operators and subject matter experts —to monitor operations and see critical operational data when, how and where they want, without waiting for regular business hours, manual reports, or being tied to a computer.

By integrating seamlessly and securely with the DeltaV distributed control system, DeltaV Mobile delivers critical contextual data that is often left behind by other solutions. With added context, DeltaV Mobile users can make better decisions around operational events that could affect bottom-line business results. Incorporating Emerson’s Plantweb Secure First Mile technology, DeltaV Mobile provides safe, remote access to important plant data without impacting critical production systems.

An Industrial IoT-ready infrastructure, DeltaV Mobile enables on-site teams to quickly and securely connect with off-site experts, extending organization-wide expertise and collaboration beyond the plant. Intuitive mobile views and customizable filtering ensure that users see clear and relevant data and alerts about the safety and performance of facilities. It provides alarms, trends and data available on DeltaV operator workstations to iOS and Android mobile devices, as well as alarm alerts via push, SMS, or email notification.

Emerson Launches Roxar RMS 10.1
Emerson Automation Solutions has also launched the latest version of its reservoir characterization and modelling software, Roxar RMS 10.1. Through advances to the seismic to flow simulation workflow and versatile decision-support tools, Roxar RMS 10.1 takes collaboration and integration between domains a step further, supporting optimal decision-making. RMS 10.1 is reportedly designed to deliver greater ease of use and performance for improved productivity.

Key features of RMS 10.1 include:

• Strengthening the Seismic to Simulation Workflow. RMS 10.1 introduces extended functionalities within the seismic domain, bridging the gaps between seismic interpretation and geological modeling. Features include enhanced seismic resolution on horizons and faults for more accurate interpretation; better Snap-to-Seismic capabilities where guide points can be displayed in 3D as well as on intersection views to improve interpretation and quality control; new structural modelling features through robust pinch-out modelling; and superior uncertainty representation around faults. The result is more robust, stable and reliable reservoir models. RMS 10.1 also comes with greater workflow integration between static and dynamic domains – thanks to an improved events management utility that strongly supports time-dependent data and facilitates both the building and maintenance of simulation-ready flow models.

   

• Improving the Decision-Making Process. RMS 10.1 includes powerful displays where users can co-visualize, compile and analyze data from multiple sources, provides fast access to critical information through RMS Data Explorer, and enables the advanced presentation of graphical data through high quality hard copy capabilities. Other new features include improved IO (input/output) functionality and new well data management features. The result is complete data integration and no information silos, allowing field planning decisions to be based on the best possible information.

   

• Performance, Productivity and Interoperability improvements. Finally, RMS 10.1 provides the user with increased performance through measurably more responsive and faster views, and greater interoperability through the Roxar API (Application Programming Interface). In addition to the numerous performance improvements, RMS 10.1 now offers the ability to transfer data from the Petrel* (mark of Schlumberger) software platform to RMS in a one-step procedure, enabling extreme ease of transferring data from a seismic interpretation workflow in Petrel* to the RMS workflow.
