2014 - BG, Easington Catchment Area Field Development Project, UK
Summary
The Easington Catchment Area project was designed to expand gas production capabilities in the southern North Sea, providing a stable energy supply to the UK. The development required the integration of new offshore production wells and tie-ins to existing infrastructure.
Challanges
Ensuring that new infrastructure was designed for maximum reliability while maintaining safety compliance, given the harsh offshore environment.
Solution
Conducted detailed reliability block diagram (RBD) modeling to assess system performance and redundancy requirements.
Applied LOPA and SIL verification to ensure functional safety compliance for critical systems.
Developed an asset performance optimization plan, identifying key areas for reliability improvements and failure mitigation.
Recommended advanced condition monitoring systems to enhance predictive maintenance capabilities.
