Built on the AVEVA NET software, the solution has been configured specifically the Martin Linge fixed-platform asset.
AVEVA says the solution is currently in the implementation and testing phase. When fully deployed, Total will use AVEVA NET’s advanced access and contextualization functionality to deliver a wide range of design, engineering and operational information throughout the life cycle of the Martin Linge asset.
Total will have timely access to all types of information that will improve its ability to make better decisions more quickly and reduce risk. Total will be able to work with their existing data in different tools, such as Documentum, OpenText, AVEVA’s own design and engineering software and other third party applications.
“AVEVA’s solutions are all developed with a focus on maintaining integrity across the life cycle of the Digital Asset,’ says Helmut Schuller, AVEVA executive vice president, global sales. ‘The creation and maintenance of an accurate Digital Asset enables our customers to master change on complex projects and throughout the life of their facilities. This is particularly important for the Martin Linge development.”
The Martin Linge field is estimated to hold oil and gas reserves of about 190MMboe. According to Total, the project will set a precedent for sustainability by supplying the field’s power needs from the Norwegian mainland grid via a 170km subsea cable. This innovation will reduce CO2 emissions by 2 million tonne. Oil and gas production is expected to start in 2016 with a capacity of 80,000 boe/d. Gas from the field will be exported to the UK via the FUKA gas pipeline.
Total is operator on the Martin Linge project, holding 51% interest, with partners Petoro (30%) and Statoil (19%).
At the beginning of the week, AVEVA announced that Det norske oljeselskap began deployment of AVEVA’s Progressive Handover Solution to manage life cycle information for the Ivar Aasen field project in the North Sea. The AVEVA solution allows Det norske to benefit from improved information quality within its projects and to reduce the time it takes to access key technical information.
