2008 - Enterprise/Petrobras, Bijupira and Salema Field Development, Brazil
Summary
The Bijupira and Salema fields are located offshore Brazil, requiring advanced subsea and FPSO (floating production storage and offloading) technologies to extract and process oil efficiently.
Challanges
Deepwater operations presented challenges in equipment reliability and maintainability. Subsea equipment failures could result in significant delays and costly interventions.
Solution
Applied RAM studies to assess FPSO and subsea system reliability, ensuring maximum uptime.
Conducted SIL assessments to verify safety instrumented systems met required performance standards.
Developed risk-based inspection (RBI) strategies for subsea pipelines and critical rotating equipment.
Facilitated HAZID workshops to identify operational risks and recommend design improvements.
