Improving offshore facilities management, operations and maintenance

New techniques to improve operations and maintenance of offshore facilities

Organised by Digital Energy Journal

Wednesday, March 20, 2013, Aberdeen, Doubletree by Hilton Hotel Aberdeen Treetops

On March 20th, Digital Energy Journal is organising an event for people involved in offshore facilities management, maintenance and operations, to share experiences and talk about ways to improve decision making, to maximise safety, uptime and efficiency. There is no admission fee.

There are methods being developed where you only inspect or maintain items which actually need inspection or maintenance – and make accurate predictions about what components are likely to fail before the fail. It all makes operations safer, more efficiently run and prolongs the life of the field. Are there tools which you could make more use of in your organisation?

This is the first event we are aware of covering improving offshore maintenance, operations and facilities management making use of all the methods and technologies which have been developed - we hope you will find it a useful event to meet and discuss with your colleagues.

10:00 Brendan Kelly, - VP Global Business Development - AVEVA Solutions Ltd Access to and unlocking the value of engineering information in operations Talk Description. Delivering Operations Information Integrity demands that engineering and operational information is consistent between applications, complete across different disciplines and accessible globally. These three simple principles are the essential building blocks of AVEVA’s information management solutions. Only when information is managed in this way can Owner Operators and their EPC contractors perform effectively. Most plants today use many different applications which lock data away in ‘silos’ of proprietary information. These isolated structures contain disconnected data formats that simply don’t communicate with each other and cannot be shared to enable uniform and consistent access and updates. This seriously hampers the ability of the system to deliver across the entire range of operational business requirements. AVEVA’s growing Owner Operator solution suite creates a data-neutral environment for all your operational information, regardless of the original application source. AVEVA Solutions Ltd AVEVA, a global leader in industrial software, drives digital transformation for industrial organizations managing complex operational processes. Through Performance Intelligence, AVEVA connects the power of information and artificial intelligence (AI) with human insight, to enable faster and more accurate decision making, helping industries to boost operational delivery and sustainability.
