Leveraging Systems Engineering to Effectively Reduce Certification and Qualification Cost and Risk and Achieve Safety Integrity

摘要

The objective of this paper is to highlight the Systems Engineering (SE) processes leveraged on a subsea BOP project. This paper focuses on aspects of Verification, Certification and Qualification and Safety. Key discussions include essential elements of SE and how they were leveraged and tailored to align with program constraints and success criteria to achieve successful deployment of the subsea BOP pilot system. With capital expenditures anticipated to fall more than 10% in 2020, employing SE methodologies is shown to reduce development costs while elevating product quality, reliability, and safety.
