The students developed multiple statistical models that utilised data generated by a selection of the system's available sensors.

"In a very short time frame, the project team has come a long way in substantiating the value of using data analytics techniques to improve our operations."

An application was devised to assess the results of each statistical model and provide a notification when there are high chances of a machine shutdown.

The system is intended to provide the operator with sufficient time to take preventive actions to avoid the incident.

Lundin Norway field operations head Kari Nielsen said: “In a very short time frame, the project team has come a long way in substantiating the value of using data analytics techniques to improve our operations.

“This is very encouraging and motivates us to continue our efforts.”
