Solutions for the Offshore Industry

The sea offers two important assets for the world's energy needs: vast oil & gas reserves and open space for wind and wave power projects. This takes engineering into new fields, where the shipbuilding and plant industries must collaborate.

AVEVA has a long track record in both these industries and technologies that support collaboration between them. Examples of the application of AVEVA software in the offshore industries include:

Oil & Gas platforms

AVEVA PDMS has been used to create many of the world's most advanced drilling and production platforms in some of the most challenging environments. These costly facilities are maintained and upgraded using advanced laser surveying technologies to design 'right first time' modifications. AVEVA Global is used by leading oil & gas companies to manage multiple concurrent, collaborative projects.

FPSOs

Deepwater oil & gas reserves require floating facilities for their exploitation. These vessels are complex integrations of shipbuilding, process and advanced mechanical engineering, and can now be designed and built using AVEVA Marine and AVEVA Plant in collaborative, multi-site projects.

FLNG

Offshore natural gas takes FPSO projects to new levels of complexity and will demand highly integrated technologies for their efficient design. Coastal gas reserves can be exploited using onshore processing and seaborne distribution; here also AVEVA technology is being used to design and build the most massive and complex production facilities.

Wind power

Securing a large wind turbine so as to withstand extreme winds and sea states is a challenge now being met using design principles first developed on oil & gas platforms. AVEVA's proven solutions are therefore finding application in this rapidly expanding market.
