AVEVA's name has become almost synonymous with the Oil & Gas industry. Research undertaken in 2003 showed that over 60 per cent of all the UK North Sea facilities were designed using AVEVA's solutions. Half of the remainder pre-dated CAD technology!

AVEVA's solutions are used on over 80 per cent of the largest production facilities in the North Sea and the Gulf of Mexico built in the last ten years. Projects include the biggest FPSO projects, the deepest deep-water projects, the largest semi-submersibles and some of the most ambitious refits. Onshore, AVEVA solutions are used on facilities from oil refineries and LNG trains to gas processing plants worldwide.

As demand for oil and gas increases, the industry needs to push its exploration and extraction technologies to their limits, and keep existing facilities safely at maximum production on ever-tighter budgets.

AVEVA's technology condenses project times, allowing customers like Shell Deepwater to 'design while constructing' and streamline their business. In successive projects AVEVA has helped reduce completion times, from 36 months for the ExxonMobil FPSO Kizomba A to 31 months for the Kizomba B off Angola.

Kizomba, Bonga, Dalia, Thunderhorse and NaKika: AVEVA is proud of its Oil & Gas heritage, its list of the world's most influential clients, and its continuing association with the cutting edge of this global industry.
