Abstract: An evaluation apparatus includes a storage unit that stores a model modeling a state of a facility provided in a plant, a simulator that adjusts a parameter that is set in the model so that a difference between an actual measurement value based on a process value of the facility in a first state and a first simulate value calculated by using the model is equal to or less than a threshold, and an estimation unit that estimates a first estimated operating point that indicates an operation state of the facility in the first state based on the adjusted parameter.

Abstract: To estimate a state of a natural resource in pipeline equipment during extraction in an oil field, provided is an apparatus including a data acquiring section that acquires measurement data, measured by a measurement device, indicating a state of a natural resource that is a fluid flowing through an extraction network for extracting the natural resource; a state estimating section that estimates the state of the natural resource at least at one location differing from a location where the measurement device is provided in a flow path of the extraction network, using the measurement data and a model of the extraction network; and a margin calculating section that calculates a margin until flow path blocking matter is generated in the extraction network, based on the estimated state of the natural resource.

Abstract: A method for testing an analysis apparatus that analyzes a first fluid flowing through a pipe using light that has passed through a probe attached to and disposed inside the pipe such that a portion of a light path passes outside a housing of the probe. The method includes: after a second fluid that absorbs less of the light than the first fluid has been introduced into the pipe, introducing a third fluid having predetermined absorption characteristics into the housing of the probe; and analyzing the absorption characteristics of the third fluid using the light that has passed through the probe.
