Six steps to managing the integrity of ageing assets
September 18, 2020
Sponsored by: LLoyd's Register
Aging assets pose a significant risk to reliability, burdened by factors such as poor preventative maintenance programmes, a lack of data, changing operating envelopes and obsolete technologies. The longer an asset remains out of service for repairs, the longer its impact on production. However, reliability can be radically improved and the life of these assets significantly extended for years to come, by adopting the right asset management model.
Increasing Well Delivery Efficiency through Enhanced Scheduling
September 14, 2020
Sponsored by: Acetnum
• When your manager wants to know the cost of your drilled inventory, does it take more than a few seconds to give an accurate answer?
• When your drilling program budget is changed does it take you more than 10 minutes to reschedule your project?
If you answered “Yes” to either of these questions you’re not alone. Eight out of ten oil and gas operators use scheduling software that doesn’t effectively support well delivery projects.
Our White Paper explains the limitations of simplistic scheduling software and describes the benefits of modern tools.
Beyond data: Seven steps to oil spill financial assurance
July 14, 2020
Sponsored by: Lloyd's Register
From protecting the environment from pollution and safeguarding dependent economies, to improving responses and limiting consequences in case of an oil spill, liability for incidents falls under a ‘polluter pays’ principle. Determining the level of financial assurance is complex, demanding more than a simple adding up of the figures. In fact, the last thing you should do when determining financial assurance for an oil spill is pick up the calculator. This whitepaper will help you determine the adequate level of financial assurance required in a worst-case, upstream incident.
Digitally transforming offshore oil and gas production with Topsides 4.0
March 04, 2020
Sponsored by: Siemens
When it comes to offshore installations, including FPSO vessels, the topsides packages that stand the most to gain from digitalization are rotating equipment and electrical, instrumentation and control systems. Topsides 4.0 is an integrated, digital approach that supports these packages throughout the project lifecycle – from concept and design into operation.
Prescriptive Maintenance: Transforming Asset Performance Management
February 26, 2020
Sponsored by: AspenTech
Prescriptive maintenance technology is changing how companies manage asset downtime. With more advance warning of equipment failures comes additional opportunity to mitigate the negative impact of shutdowns. In this new white paper discover how prescriptive maintenance powered by AI and machine learning can help predict equipment breakdowns up to months in advance, automate data collection, cleansing and analysis and quickly scale across similar assets enterprise-wide. Learn how companies have successfully implemented these solutions and the quantitative benefits achieved.
