Goals

To replace and upgrade the existing integrated control and safety systems
To achieve ‘First Oil’ on time in order to avoid contract penalties and lost production
To maximize the availability/uptime of the control and safety systems and to minimize the total cost of ownership

Challenges

The Project teams are located in multiple locations, that is, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Germany and Singapore
Process data from the new ICSS, including serial interfaces, safety systems and new I/Os, were available only in the very late stages before the planned FAT
The original DCS had to be kept ‘alive’ as long as possible and the existing safety systems had to remain operational with just a few hours available to upgrade

Results

After replacing the Emerson ProVox and Delta V DCS systems and implementing a new integrated control and safety systems on the Glas Dowr, Bluewater was able to successfully meet ‘First Oil’ date on time
Bluewater and its customer can now monitor the control and safety systems, both on and offshore, in real time

"The Glas Dowr Kitan project has been a tremendous success. We were impressed with the AVEVA attitude throughout the project and their ‘change the game’ approach. It is one thing to have a good project plan in place, but another to actually execute and deliver."
