This project was a greenfield High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) gas field for three platforms in the UK's North Sea. The digital twin was delivered many months before first gas (the very first time the plant is operated and produces gas):
- All CROs were trained on three different levels of training, introductory, startup, and abnormal operations, achieving before first gas the competence levels that the project required them to have.
- All field operators were trained on two levels of training, introductory and startup, before first gas.
- All operation supervisors were trained before first gas.
- All operating procedures were validated on the OTS.
- During the building of the OTS, around 50 engineering items (ICSS and process...
