Case Study Success Story - SKK Migas PDMS & SOT Integration

Development of Production Data Management System (PDMS) and SOT Integration for Oil & Gas Production Optimization

Overview

A leading oil & gas company in Indonesia implemented a Production Data Management System (PDMS) to improve production data management, enhance operational visibility, and ensure seamless reporting integration with SKK Migas in compliance with Indonesian government regulations.

The project focused on developing a customized web-based PDMS platform that integrates real-time SCADA data, manual production data entry, and existing petroleum applications into a centralized production information system.

1. Business Challenge & Problem Definition

The customer operated multiple oil & gas production fields located across various remote areas, while the central operation and reporting function was managed from Jakarta headquarters. The distributed operational environment created challenges in collecting, consolidating, and analyzing production data efficiently.

The customer required a centralized system capable of managing production information, supporting operational decision-making, and providing automated reporting to SKK Migas.

Key Challenges:

• Production data was distributed across multiple remote sites with centralized monitoring requirements from Jakarta headquarters.
• Development of a customized Production Data Management System (PDMS) was required to support specific business processes and operational workflows.
• Integration was required with various existing petroleum applications and production systems.
• Production KPI dashboard and monitoring system were needed to provide visibility across all production fields and operational sites.
• Large volumes of production data required efficient storage, processing, and analysis capabilities.
• Data reliability required robust backup and recovery mechanisms.
• Production data sources consisted of:
  • Real-time SCADA systems.
  • Manual field data entry.
  • Existing oil & gas operational applications.
• Multiple remote production sites required reliable data synchronization and centralized management.
• PDMS data integration with SKK Migas SOT (System Online Terpadu) was required to comply with government reporting regulations.

2. Technology Solution

A comprehensive Production Data Management System (PDMS) was developed to provide centralized production monitoring, data integration, reporting automation, and regulatory compliance.

Solution Components:
