MODCON AI Oil and Gas Production is an AI/ML solution for improving production efficiency, process stability and decision-making across upstream oil and gas operations. It is based on access to high-fidelity data from wells, production systems, reservoir models, field infrastructure and financial planning data.
Production optimisation depends on understanding how wells, reservoirs, surface facilities and commercial constraints interact. Poor or delayed data can lead to conservative operation, missed production opportunities or inefficient use of infrastructure. High-quality data gives the AI model a more accurate view of the real production system.
The solution can use well data, production data, reservoir modelling data, field infrastructure data and economic planning data. It can also be connected with process analyzers, flowmeters, pressure and temperature instruments, SCADA systems, historians and laboratory results where available.
Process analyzers provide live information about gas composition, hydrocarbon quality, water content, H₂S, CO₂, oxygen, hydrogen, calorific value, Wobbe Index and other parameters. This helps the AI model understand not only how much is being produced, but also what is being produced and whether the process is moving towards quality, safety or operational limits.
No. MODCON AI is designed to work above existing automation and production management systems. SCADA, DCS and PLC systems continue to handle monitoring, control and safety functions, while MODCON AI adds advanced analytics, optimisation and early detection of abnormal operating behaviour.
Yes. By identifying inefficient operation, unnecessary energy use, avoidable losses and underperforming assets, the system can support lower operating cost. It can also help operators prioritise interventions where they are likely to deliver measurable production or reliability benefits.

Yes. The system is intended to analyse data from multiple sources across the production business, including wells, reservoirs, production facilities and economic planning. This allows optimisation to be considered at asset or field level rather than only at single-equipment level.
By analysing multivariable process behaviour, MODCON AI can identify early deviations before they develop into alarms, trips or equipment failures. This gives operators more time to investigate and take corrective action, particularly in high-pressure, sour gas, offshore or remote production environments.
Expected benefits include improved production visibility, better use of field infrastructure, earlier detection of abnormal operation, reduced process variability, improved product quality control, lower energy and operating costs and stronger support for production planning. Actual results depend on available data, process complexity, asset condition and implementation scope.
