BP Implemented POA (Plant Operations Advisor), A Cloud-Based Advanced Analytics Solution Developed With Baker Hughes, A GE Company, Across All Four Deepwater Production Platforms In The Gulf Of Mexico.
The announcement comes after an initial deployment of POA proved that the technology could help avoid unplanned shutdowns on BP’s Atlantis platform in the Gulf, BP said in a statement on Tuesday. The technology has already been installed and tested on BP’s Thunder Horse, Na Kika, and Mad Dog platforms – and will continue to be deployed across more than 30 of BP’s upstream assets worldwide, the company added.
“BP has been a pioneer in digital technology in our industry, and the co-development of the Plant Operations Advisor with BHGE is key to modernizing and transforming our upstream operations,” said Ahmed Hashmi, BP’s global head of upstream technology.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state aims to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.
“We expect that the deployment of this technology will not only yield improvements in the safety, reliability, and performance of our assets but will also help raise the standard across the entire oil and gas industry.”
Built on GE’s Predix platform, the POA applies analytics to real-time data from the production system and provides system-level insights to engineers, so that operational problems in processes and equipment can be addressed before they become significant. The POA helps engineers manage the performance of BP’s offshore assets, ensuring that the assets operate within safe operational limits to reduce unplanned downtime, BP explained.
Expansion Across BP’s Assets
Now, throughout the Gulf of Mexico, the POA is working on over 1,200 mission-critical equipment, analyzing more than 155 million data points per day and providing insights on performance and maintenance. There are plans to continue increasing the analytical capabilities of the system as POA expands to BP’s upstream assets worldwide.
BP and BHGE announced a partnership in 2016 to develop the POA, a solution for the entire industry to improve plant reliability. The teams created a set of cloud-based “Internet of Things” (IoT) solutions that are tailored to BP’s oil and gas operations.
“The partnership between BP and BHGE resulted in a unique set of features that quickly find valuable information in operational data flows,” said Matthias Heilmann, President and CEO of Digital Solutions and Chief Digital Officer of Baker Hughes, a GE Company.
“Together, we are creating cutting-edge technologies to automate processes and enhance the safety and reliability of BP’s upstream assets. As we scale the solution globally, it will become the largest industrial IoT deployment in the world when completed.”
BP is currently in the process of rolling out the POA for its operations in Angola, with additional deployments in Oman and the North Sea scheduled for 2019.
