 Strategy for improved performace
1. Provide a Customer Support
organization that could assist
customers World Wide in
solving operational issues

2. Develop & Implement a

Condition Monitoring system
to make it possible for
Experts in Bergen to offer
immediate 24-7 assistance
based on access to real-time
data

FRamo Interactive ENabling

 Why FRIEND ?

To Safeguard Availability of Systems and Maximize

Lifetime of Equipment through
1 Operational Assistance & Performance Monitoring
2 Trouble Shooting
3 Production Optimization
In an Integrated Working Relationship with the
Operator

 Stabilizing Process Conditions

Notification Algorithm - Trigger

These situations can typically occur when producing from unstable wells

23
 Operational Experience
With Real-time data we can be an equal discussion partner with the
Operator during trouble shooting and operational monitoring
We can work together 24-7, avoid unnecessary stops / wear and
tear on the pumps & reduce downtime
Improved operating procedures are made on the basis of historical
data
The AVAILABILITY of the pumping systems has been considerably
improved since we started with FRIEND
We compare the performance for different pumping systems in
operation when assessing the overall condition of the pumps
