OVS© One Virtual SourceTM
An Innovative Production Management System Delivers the
Engineering Workspace of the Future
OVS (One Virtual Source) Vision
OVS© is a Production Management System that
dynamically couples dispersed data sources with
multiple applications. It streamlines engineering
processes through the creation and automation of
user driven workflows to enhance E&P asset
performance.
Vision of Smart Asset Management
Integrated Approach
• Immediate response to
operational events
• Optimize production by
continuous modeling/diagnosis of
wells and key facilities
• Exploit data and knowledge to
anticipate failures with virtual
intelligence technologies
• Proactive decision making
