dc.description.abstract | Outsourcing and remote monitoring are major industrial trends that provide an ideal
platform for operators to focus and improve their core activities while saving cost. These
trends have led to technological advancement which has improved oil and gas operations
not only in terms of cost but also in terms of technology, competence and workforce
management which is a major challenge facing the oil and gas industry. The shortage of
skilled personnel, the ageing workforce amongst other challenges such as the need to
maximize and improve depleting resources and HSE issues respectively has led to the
emergence of integrated operations and its application in production, drilling, HSE and
operation and maintenance or e-maintenance. E-maintenance or advanced condition
based maintenance(CBM) is currently gaining acceptance by most operators and
recommended by the regulatory bodies alike as they seek to find solutions to these
challenges facing the oil and gas industry.
This thesis report on Condition Monitoring in Integrated Operation serves as a CBM
application and technology indicator for implementing integrated operations or emaintenance
on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and beyond. It addresses current CBM
technologies and equipment capable of achieving the intended e-maintenance objectives
along with other supportive structures such as information standards, enabling
technologies, expert requirements and IO centers which enable proper coordination and
utilization of people, organization and technology. Furthermore, it addresses the current
market and technology trends in condition monitoring, the market for smaller or noncritical
equipment and the probable drivers and limitations towards the acceptance of
condition monitoring which is vital for e-maintenance.
Analysis was conducted based on data and facts from industry, articles, journals, personal
inputs and observations and is most suitable for condition monitoring vendors and
operators adopting an integrated operation O &M concept and as such will enable both
parties to have a thorough understanding of the necessary infrastructures both in terms of
technical, social and psychological needed for the successful implementation of an IOcentered
operation and maintenance activity. However sustainability of e-maintenance
depends on the acceptance and implementation of standard information protocols capable
of enhancing interoperability and data exchange between the various parties. | en |
