Abstract

Increased difficulty of engineering problems require new approaches, which would combine automation and intellectual support in decision-making. Oil and gas engineering is a complex combination of interconnected areas from producing oil to supplying it to consumers. A key milestone in developing an oil and gas asset is conceptual engineering stage, which includes selecting equipment that has optimal characteristics to meet requirements and operating conditions, which ultimately defines capital investments in the overall cost structure. The article presents an algorithm for automatic configuration of oil and gas equipment, which uses a case-based approach and an ontology model that can support decision-making in field development conceptual design. Using the Protégé ontology editor, the authors created an ontology of standard infrastructure solutions based on oil and gas assets’ data, which includes hierarchies of classes and instances. The list of pad facilities formed using the SPARQL Query language has proved efficient for automated search of necessary information when solving engineering problems.
