Mainly due to the drive to improve safety, reliability and efficiency of process operatios, intellectual fault detection and alarm management has gained significance in the recent years. This paper highlights an inhouse industrial implementation of a multitude of tools used for monitoring, analyzing and reporting alarm and safety system performance at LongLake site of Nexen Energy ULC. These tools mainly used by plant engineers and control room operators in improving the alarm system performance. The efficacy is demonstrated through case studies. A brief overview of the implementation architecture is also presented in this paper.
