USPI-NL Annual Management Board meeting

摘要

Speaking at a meeting of the USPI-NL plant standards body in The Netherlands earlier this year, Shell Global Solutions' Jason Roberts provided an insight into Shell's current engineering information management (EIM) with a case history of engineering handover on the giant Kashagan development in Kazakhstan. EIM enables project information workflows and also consolidates asset information from multiple repositories such as SAP, Aspen HySys, Aveva PDMS and many more. But the real drivers for EIM are time (a week saved on Kashagan equates to around $35 million) and asset integrity. Because asset integrity is a life-of-facility issue, so too is EIM, which spans design build, handover, operations and maintenance.
