Occidental Petroleum (OXY)

Problem:

• No system in place to provide real-time electrical info in a distribution oil field
• Having trouble displaying results & pin-pointing overloaded / faulted equipment

Solution:

• Modeled the entire oil field distribution system using GIS technology (Geographical Information System)
• Utilized the latest Multi-Speak data exchange standard to migrate the data from "Milsoft" to "ETAP" program
• Validated the load flow and short circuit results using the existing benchmarks 
• Corrected voltage and power factor issues with sizing and proper capacitors 
• Communicating data over cellular network to identify de-energized / overloaded equipment 
• Allow alarm viewing and warnings on mobile device 
• Provide customer with daily and weekly load forecasting report
