Title: Computer-based training system for the diagnosis of failure in the flow station

Conference ·
OSTI ID:28784

This paper will refer to the design and implementation of a computer based training system for diagnosing failures that lead to automatic shutdown due to high levels in the tank, in flow stations on Maracaibo Lake, Venezuela. The project includes three basic modules: The Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI): Constituted by three lessons and its corresponding evaluations; Computer Management Instruction (CMI): To control the instruction material; The Expert System (ES): Selected as a learning resource. The operation for diagnosing failures requires from certain experience to be accomplished efficiently. The flow station receive, separate, temporarily store and pump fluids coming from nearby wells. They are basic elements in petroleum production and for this reason, production treatment from nearby wells depends on their functioning and properly. When an automatic close of station is produced the automatic income valves of crude at the separators are closed bringing as consequence that the production is remained trapped in the manifold of production. The time that the station remains closed represent the deferred production. The computer-based training system contributes to improve the productivity of the flow station operations.
