SBM Offshore Data Flow from Engineering to Operations

This case study outlines SBM Offshore's digitalization journey aimed at enhancing the flow of engineering data to operations for floating production storage and offloading vessels (FPSOs). The document describes the challenges faced, including the lack of digitalized and centralized engineering data, which hindered operational efficiency. To address these issues, SBM Offshore implemented AVEVA solutions to create a Collaborative Engineering Environment, enabling the integration of 1D, 2D, and 3D data. The study details the phased approach taken to digitalize over 150,000 tags and millions of data points, which improved design quality and reduced costs. Furthermore, the deployment of the AVEVA PI System facilitated real-time monitoring and condition-based maintenance, allowing for better operational oversight. The case study emphasizes the importance of data governance and quality in achieving operational efficiency and supporting the company's zero-emissions goals. Overall, the document illustrates the successful integration of engineering and operations through a robust data foundation.
