Abstract

Making sense of alarms can be difficult on oil and gas platforms. Multilevel Flow Modeling provides a structure for modelling plant functionality and inferring causes for alarms and predicting consequences. Currently, Multilevel Flow Modeling has limited application for on-line fault diagnosis. Based on a fault emulated on a pilot plant for offshore produced water treatment, Multilevel Flow Modeling is used for reasoning about causes for triggered alarms. The inferred causes are analysed to investigate the current maturity of Multilevel Flow Modeling for on-line diagnosis.
