In the last decade, there has been an increasing focus on eField solutions. High speed communications now link production facilities with centralised operations support centres. Major oil companies are investing strategically in their eField initiatives. The online solution powered by OLGA has proven to be one of the key elements in making the true eField possible.

OLGA has typically been used for feasibility studies, conceptual design, process design, control system design, operations planning and operator training. Today, models developed during design phases are used as a basis for production management systems later in the project life cycle, and can be tuned online once operations commence.

OLGA Online provides dedicated functions to support operations such as gas and liquid management, slug handling, hydrate and corrosion monitoring, inhibitor management, leak detection, gas lift optimization and well control. Currently used in more than 30 projects around the world, OLGA Online has proven to optimise production and reduce costs in systems ranging from gas-condensate and deepwater oil systems to advanced drilling operations.

OLGA OTS is used in more than 30 Operator Training Simulator projects for oil & gas facilities world-wide. In a full-fledged Operator Training Simulator, the OLGA OTS system is interfaced with one of the recognised dynamic process simulators forming a high-fidelity and realistic training solution of the complete dynamic production and processing system.

Integrated simulators; OLGA Run-Time is an off-the-shelf license package targeted for integrated simulators such as Engineering Simulators, Operator Training Simulators and Production Management Systems.
