Aligning Shutdown Plans of Multiple Projects to Minimise Production Loss -3 Years Look Ahead Model

摘要

Description:Marked by rapid expansion and revamp,year 2012-13 for KOC’s NK directorate experienced situation wherein each of the operating facility(3 Gathering Centers-450MBOPD,1 Water Injection plant-300 MBWPD;1 Sea Water Treatment Plant-300 MBWPD)required multiple Shutdowns to cater for Tie In requirements of 5 different projects(different time lines)&Preventive Maintenance. Catering to individual project shutdown requirements meant huge production loss and the only way feasible to minimize the same was to accommodate Tie In requirements of all projects,in parallel within a single or maximum two shutdowns per facility.To minimize these losses,KOC concentrated on program management focusing on interfaces between projects to develop a feasible aligned shutdown plan and to accomplish it successfully across all facilities. The paper intends to highlight critical elements of the planning&implementation phases of the aligned shutdown plan like;Tie In scopes(all disciplines)&schedules specific to each project,tools used for decision making,Identification&management of risks and project interfaces,communication manage- ment,resource management,monitoring progress and coordination(12 KOC Teams&5 Contractors).
