Media filtration of low API crude at
elevated temperatures
The Monosep™ High-flow walnut shell filtration system by Siemens has been proven to
be effective at removing free oil and grease
and suspended solids in oil field produced
water, refinery wastewater and numerous
industrial wastewaters. A recent study was
performed to determine the impact of low API
crude and elevated temperature (75–90 °C)
on the performance of the walnut shell ­filter
media and robustness of the newly redesigned
backwash system. In addition, Siemens tested
a new proprietary media for this application in
a side by side comparison study against black
walnut shells. Laboratory testing has shown
this new media to be capable of producing
water quality similar to that of black walnut
shells but with the added benefit of being able
to withstand significantly higher oil loading or
longer loading durations before requiring a
backwash. The results from a 5 week pilot
study will be presented and discussed.

Automation over the plant lifecycle
From FEED through to Commissioning and
beyond, this short presentation will present
Siemens developments to integrate automation and engineering, bringing benefits from
reduced engineering time as well as always
up to date documentation.
You can’t test SIS
Process safety experts Charles Fialkowski and
Luis Garcia will present a paper that questions
on-line testing of highly automated systems
and its impact for improving risk reduction
­performance. Charles & Luis will also discuss
the gaps with current testing philosophies
along with many misunderstandings regarding
diagnostics and redundancy, and the myths
that follow.
Deep-water flow back services –
Lower your costs and improve your efficiency
There are several cost factors related to the
operation of deepwater operations, topsides
design being one of them. When considering
water treatment solutions in this design,
safety, flow rate, efficiency and footprint/
weight need to be evaluated carefully to find
the best, most economical solution.
Integrated Operations – Securing your
equipment uptime & performance
Siemens provides complete electrical, auto­
mation and telecom systems for the offshore
production market. This presentation will
­discuss how enhanced characteristics in the
automation system can allow for integrated
operation. More importantly, the presentation
will also discuss how integrated operation from
Siemens is used to secure uptime and system
performance for offshore production systems.
Offshore drilling: DP3 – Closed ring for
­offshore vessels
Innovative solution packages for offshore
­drilling that secure reliable operation and high
availability are in great demand. These solutions are exactly what Siemens has to offer –
based on our extensive expertise in electrical,
instrumentation, and telecommunication
(EIT), rotating equipment, and water treatment
solutions as well as years of hands-on experience in the oil and gas business and marine
applications. Power management is of central
importance for dynamic positioning. Failures
in the power system, components or external
faults should be identified when occurring
and be isolated from the rest of the system.
In a DP3 system operating mode in closed ring
configuration this will happen. And in case
of malfunction of the primary safe guarding
devices, a back-up system will be put in operation. Siemens has worked with drilling majors
and the classification society to develop solutions operating in DP3 mode with one fully
integrated power system.
Siemens Subsea – Improved recovery and
reduced costs through technology
Subsea production and boosting systems
­supports the oil and gas industry in improving
recovery factors and minimizing operating
costs. Many of these technologies are still in
their infancy, and the innovation required for
operations in ever-deeper waters places special
demands on solution suppliers. Siemens is
in the forefront in the areas of power supply,
water treatment, rotating equipment, and
automation, and this foundation has been
enabling us to actively develop subsea technologies for decades. Our presentation is an overview of our portfolio, which consists of five
four focus fields: power, distribution, control,
processing, and surveillance. Our subsea
power grid – integrating HV/MV power supply,
MV switchgear, step-down transformers, and
variable speed drives – will facilitate largescale subsea processing for operators around
the world.
Enterprise Asset Performance Management
The objective of efficient Enterprise Asset
­Performance Management (EAPM) is to help
ensure improved operations, maintenance,
reliability and business processes along with
compliance and safety practices. EAPM is a ­
tool for decision makers and subject matter
experts that provides for one stop shopping for
asset lifecycle information, standard calculated
operational/safety/risk control performance
indicators, analytic capabilities to uncover root
cause of issues, enforcement of work process
best practices, and provide a contextualized
integration point to provide data to other
applications. EAPM will be deployed through
customer configurable standard products
and libraries using Siemens technology and a
vendor agnostic data acquisition framework,
with extensions supporting additional key
focus areas such as predictive fault detection,
performance analytics, and mobile reporting
and access. EAPM will provide a cost effective
platform through which customers can achieve
their goals of excellence in production and
safety performance, environmental protection,
and asset availability and extended life.
Electrical variable speed rack
and pinion jacking system
We will show the advantages that the system
offers to both owners and operators. How
have we been able to address the need for
higher safety, controlled operation and
extended lifetime. This jacking system will
give the operator better handling and smoother
operation which will also contribute to
shorter relocation times. With various platforms in operation for a number of years
and in harsh conditions, we will explain why
customer feedback has been very positive.
Designing oil and gas equipment for
­reliability and performance with Femap
with NX Nastran
Reliability of field equipment can mean success
or failure of oil and gas projects. Join this
­presentation to learn about proven solutions
for offshore applications that enable you to
evaluate and optimize the performance and
reliability of oil and gas equipment designs.
Technical capabilities for offshore projects
include comprehensive nonlinear analysis,
robust 3D surface contact, support for special
materials like concrete, composites, elastomers
and hyper elastic and a comprehensive suite of
modal analysis tools. Benefits include: shorter
project development cycles, reduced development costs, fewer prototypes, managed and
reduced risk, improved quality with checks for
design flaws and problem areas.
COMOS and OpenPlant
The Siemens Industry Automation Division
and Bentley Systems are stepping up their
­strategic collaboration, focusing on the process industry sector. Both companies are targeting increased interoperability between the
Comos engineering software solution from
­Siemens and Bentley’s OpenPlant 2D/3D
­system for plant design and construction.
One of the aims envisaged by the collaboration
is for both companies to work jointly on a
­system that will allow the capture, exchange
and further utilization of data and information
spanning the entire plant lifecycle, from engineering through to plant operations across all
disciplines. Along with a cohesive connection
between COMOS and OpenPlant, this collaboration also seeks to afford users access to
­supplementary disciplines supported by the
­Bentley portfolio such as heating, ventilation
and air conditioning (HVAC), construction
s­ imulation, cable and raceway management,
conveying technology, steel construction
and laser scanning. With the cooperation of
Siemens and Bentley the most open 3D design
system OpenPlant is connected to the most
consequently integrated 2D system COMOS.
The result is a best-of-breed combination
that has the power to seriously challenge
our competition. Through an integration
between COMOS and OpenPlant we will
­optimize CAPEX and OPEX throughout the
entire plant lifecycle.
Integrated power systems for your FPSO
This presentation answers questions about
planning and operating an FPSO: What is the
best drive for your compressor – gas turbine
or motor drive? Can over-specification of an
FPSO’s electrical system be avoided so as to
reduce CAPEX? Our experts will respond with
reference to Siemens’ modular, space-saving
topside FPSO solutions for power systems
from gas turbine to drives.
BlueDrive Compact Drilling
