It is difficult to control and manage the start-up of a petroleum offshore platform. In order to solve this problem an intelligent system can play an important role, since available qualified operator and design knowledge can be easily implemented to assist the operator during start-up. This paper describes a system applied to the start-up of a petroleum offshore platform. The intelligent system has many heuristic rules to implement the automation of procedures, like the opening of many on-off valves while simultaneously monitoring process variables. This system can shorten the start-up time by 30%. This intelligent system is operating since June 1999 in the Petrobras' P-19 platform, the Brazilian Oil Company, in Campos Basin, Brazil. This paper follows reference (1) that presented the operating interface of this intelligent system.
