Integrated operations is a whole new approach to solving the challenges of having personnel, suppliers and systems offshore, onshore and in different countries.
Integrated operations comprise far more than the operative cooperation between sea and land. It can provide major advantages in many areas.
Integrated operations (IO) involves using real time data and new technology to remove the divides between disciplines, professional groups and companies.
Integrated operations is commonly associated with operative cooperation between sea and land. But there is a lot more to it than that.
It's about how information technology that makes remote operation possible forms the basis for new and more effective ways of working.
Real time transfer of data over great distances can be used to eliminate the physical distance between installations at sea and the support organisation onshore, between professional groups, and internally our between the company and our suppliers.
When working across professional boundaries and exploiting real time data and technology that removes divisions such as time and place, we are ensuring better value creation for the future.
Some of the benefits of Integrated operations are as follows:
• Improved HSE
• More effecient drilling operations
• Better placement of wells
• Production optimisation
• Increased recovery
• Better reservoir and production control
• Better monitoring of equipment and more efficient maintenance
• Better resource exploitation
• Increased regularity (uptime)
