System Sustainability & Obsolescence Management

The foundation for optimised life of field partnership

SUT – Controls Down Under19th October 2016

Safety Moment The Morning after….

Most of us enjoy a few glasses of wine to accompany our

evening meal, especially during industry events where we

often meet up with old colleages and friends.

However, we mustn’t forget that it takes time for alcohol to

work its way out of our systems.

As a rough guide, drivers should allow at least one hour to

absorb alcohol, plus at least one hour for each unit

consumed.

Just three 250ml glasses of wine and you can’t drive for 13

hours!

Being banned from driving would change your life in so

many ways…

The only way you know you’ll be safe to drive is if your

blood alcohol is at 0.

Case study: SmartCenter delivers savings for Canadian Natural Gas CompanySmartCenter delivers considerable value and savings for a

Canadian natural gas company:

• Remotely located platform

• logistics for field service engineers complex and

considerable.

• SmartCenter deployed during the commissioning phase of

the project to enable maximum impact and savings.

• Majority of engineering support conducted remotely through

SmartCenter by expert engineers in the subsea controls

Centre of Excellence, Bristol UK.

Value Driver #1 – Remote ad-hoc fault diagnosis

• Commissioning and fault diagnosis conducted remotely by onshore

experts for the commissioning period of 6 months.

• Removed the need and cost of a full-time offshore commissioning

support engineer.

• Conducted over 2 man weeks of fault finding which saved at least 4

mobilisation charges.

Value Driver #2 – Remote software updates

• Delivered 3 remote software updates to the system during

commissioning.

• Removed the need for 3 x 1 week offshore trips and associated

mobilisation costs.

Value Driver #3 – Remote implementation of Modbus links

• Implemented a Modbus transparent link to DHPT cards and enabled

the periodic gathering of data remotely.

• Removed the need for a 1 week offshore trip and associated

mobilisation costs to install the link.

• Data gathered remotely every week for 5 weeks, which would have

otherwise required an offshore mobilisation each week.
