Production Management

Production Management is the reliable and timely information required for vital operational decisions on offshore platforms and FPSO, providing a simulated window into the production system. This integrated application combines both flow assurance and topside process models. Combined with topside plant operations, production management allows production operations personnel to anticipate upcoming production events and adjust operating strategies.

Fixed Assets Management

Proper management of fixed assets for offshore production ensures optimization of lifetime and minimization of downtime for physical assets in the oil field: motors, pumps, compressors etc. It includes preventive maintenance and forecasting failures.

Default Alternative Text

Solution

Schneider Electric Fixed Assets Management addresses the challenges associated with production asset availability, scheduling challenges, on-hand resources, and spare parts management in 4 key steps combining software, mobile platforms and services.

The first step is collecting data to enable continuous improvement in maintenance practices and deliver the highest return on assets. Step two is to analyze the data for increased asset utilization, improved performance and better maintenance planning. Step three is to act upon the analytics with decision support; less time analyzing and more time acting. Finally, in step four, report & visualize; leading to improved model, and real-time & predictive insights.

Benefits

> Safety and regulatory compliance
> Optimized lifetime and minimized downtime
> Increased asset utilization though better maintenance planning
> Utilization of mobile solutions to reduce operational and maintenance costs

> Improvement of maintenance practices
> Delivery of the highest economic return for all asset types.
> Forecasted downtime to avoid failures
> Preventive maintenance and abnormal situation notifications
