The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has introduced the Production Monitoring Command Centre (PMCC) as a transformative step in hydrocarbon operations to boost oil production.
According to Olufemi Soneye, the Chief Corporate Communications Officer of NNPCL, the PMCC aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s policy to increase efficiency and enhance production in the industry.
The initiative, driven by NNPC Upstream Investment Management Services (NUIMS), builds on the success of the Command and Control Centre to improve monitoring, operational efficiency, and production.
The PMCC serves as a unified platform for monitoring hydrocarbon molecules from production to export terminals, covering Joint Ventures (JVs) and Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs).
By consolidating real-time data from various operators, the PMCC provides a comprehensive overview of production activities, ensuring timely identification of anomalies, minimizing unplanned disruptions, and supporting seamless operational continuity.
With advanced analytics and integrated data, the PMCC empowers stakeholders with actionable insights for proactive decision-making. This capability enhances planning, resource allocation, and risk management, enabling operators to meet production targets efficiently and maintain high operational standards.
A standout feature of the PMCC is its support for predictive and preventive maintenance, ensuring the reliability and longevity of assets by monitoring equipment performance and coordinating maintenance activities.
The PMCC promotes collaboration among stakeholders by providing a secure platform for data sharing and communication, fostering effective problem-solving and continuous improvement across the sector. The PMCC’s role in minimizing downtime and optimizing maintenance directly contributes to increased production and revenue.
As NNPCL continues its modernization journey, the PMCC reflects its commitment to innovation and excellence in the oil and gas sector.
The initiative aligns with national goals and strengthens Nigeria’s position in the global energy market, ensuring long-term growth and profitability for stakeholders.
