Manage and track the condition of your offshore asset during its life cycle. Sesam Structure Integrity from DNV Software greatly reduces the chance of unplanned shutdowns and increases safety, as quality information on the asset integrity enables management to take corrective actions at the right time.
“The benefits of a single integrated system for managing the integrity of offshore structures over time are enormous. DNV Software has done an excellent job adapting its Sesam Structure Integrity to our structure integrity management needs. The resulting safety and productivity gains are already apparent, and well worth the effort and resources invested.”
Michael Hall, Principal Engineer, ConocoPhillips
The oil and gas industry today is experiencing increased focus on how assets are managed. The demand is driven by increased focus on safe operation, risk and environmental issues. A single accident can be catastrophic to the business, resulting in loss of life, property and public reputation. A major challenge in today’s offshore operations is to ensure your assets’ fitness for purpose, with optimal efficiency and in compliance with company policies and regulatory requirements. Growing concerns about safety and risk exposure have put focus on management of data compiled during the life cycle. For over 30 years, Sesam has gained a reputation within the offshore industry as a leading CAE tool for design and reassessment of offshore structures.
Today, through the Sesam brand, DNV Software is also providing state-of-the-art software to support asset integrity management. Our approach is to combine indepth DNV engineering knowledge with software engineering. This unique combination of skills is expressed in the Sesam Structure Integrity solutions, allowing our clients to collect and organise information about their assets, particularly the knowledge of asset integrity status. Knowing your asset’s integrity is a prerequisite for safe and secure operations. Taking the right asset integrity decisions depends on having access to correct information about the assets and consistent anomaly and mitigation reporting. Consistent reporting allows for improved accumulated management reports as data can be compiled worldwide irrespective of the local field office’s in-house routines. Implementing Sesam Structure Integrity will greatly reduce the chance of unplanned shutdowns and increase safety, as quality information about asset integrity enables management to take corrective actions at the right time. The workflow technology employed enables companies to integrate standardised work-processes supporting how to work, and thereby effectively manage people, applications, and information. The results are improved productivity, quality and safety, lower production costs, and enhanced competitiveness.
The solution is a configurable and scalable software designed to serve the needs for offshore assets during its different phases; design, operation, re-assessment, inspection, repair and maintenance. It enables operators to improve overall control and quality of their field assets by optimising and planning inspection, modification, mitigation and repair management, as well as extensive management support. Our solutions are built on our Brix Foundation, encompassing a common explorer that acts as an integration platform, common workflow modeller and project management. The Brix Foundation is highly configurable, scalable and easy to integrate with existing software.
