Bentley Solutions: Oil & GasA Bentley White Paper



Bentley Solutions: Oil and Gas p. 2

The backbone of the oil and gas solutions set is the data. As owner-operators’ capital project

timelines are ever shortening, manpower resources are harder to find for design and

construction. Also, margins for operations and maintenance are being squeezed razor-thin, so

managers must look to reduce costs and increase productivity. By employing a solution setspecifically addressing your type of work, data is properly managed throughout the engineering

work process, eliminating data re-entry and data misuse and improving engineering data quality.

By adding a new approach to managing and reviewing this data, unnecessary documents can be

eliminated during the engineering process, timelines can be shortened, handover can be

streamlined, and operations and maintenance can be improved.

The advantages of data control cannot be underestimated. A common theme in data manage-

ment is “input once, use many times.” With the Bentley oil and gas solutions set, reuse of

data provides the following advantages:

• More accurate designs earlier in the project cycle

• More options can be evaluated – even with limited resources

• Ability to address economics alongside engineering

• Reduction in engineering man-hours of 20-30 percent

• Reduced cost of structural steelwork

• Improved plant quality, safety, economics, and sustainability

• Improved plant maintenance and better spare parts inventory control

Bentley Solutions for the Complete Lifecycle

Bentley offers the most comprehensive suite of solutions for the oil and gas industry, both

upstream and downstream. From mapping the area, site preparation at a new drill site,

through development to production, all the way to design, construction, operations, and

maintenance of a comprehensive refinery or gas processing plant, Bentley has a custom set

of applications that form the digital plant solution just for you!

Bentley’s digital plant solutions comprise an engineering information system that provides the

digital representation of the physical plant. Our products address data in the following categories:

• Front-end engineering

• Site preparation and planning

• Conceptual and detailed engineering

• Construction

• Operations and maintenance

• Mapping solution

Front-End Engineering

In the oil and gas industry, compressing project timescales is more important than project

cost, and the time-constraining factor on all projects is securing materials and equipment to

get the job done. Making good decisions upfront and securing increasingly long lead time

items of equipment such as vessels, pumps, and valves is of critical importance and Bentley

The advantages of data

control cannot be

under-estimated. A

Data for Life – Data Exchange During the Plant Lifecycle

Bentley’s solution for oil and gas addresses data management for the complete lifecycle of

the asset. By capturing engineering data during the engineering phase of the asset lifecycle,

the data is accurately saved for operations and maintenance, while significantly reducing

handover costs. The Bentley oil and gas solution provides a data warehouse specifically

designed to capture engineering data during detailed design and then manage it in the way

that engineering staff would expect to have it available during the operation of the asset.

According to Coopers & Lybrand, engineers are frustrated searching for information. They

spend 25 percent of their time searching for information, adjusting it to their purposes, and

then re-entering the information. The Coopers & Lybrand study found that by using a managed

data environment that uses industry standards, the following savings in time and cost should

be expected throughout the lifecycle:

• 10-30 percent reduction in time spent preparing for decisions

• 15-28 percent reduction in engineering costs and 1-2 months’ reduction in projectexecution time

• 30 percent increased productivity from improvement in work relations between contractors

and suppliers

• Improvement in the quality of documentation

• Better reuse of components in the project, resulting in lower maintenance costs

• A reduction of 40,000-80,000 man-hours during commissioning for a typical project

• Dramatic reduction in handover costs

• 10-20 percent reduction in maintenance and operations from improved efficiency in

operations, due to more readily available and accurate information

Bentley is also working

closely with FIATECH to

implement the ISO stan-

dard data framework for

exchange of information

during the lifecycle.




Bentley’s solution for oil and gas provides the data management platform that allows users to

realize the benefits suggested above in the Coopers & Lybrand report.

Bentley is also working closely with FIATECH to implement the ISO standard data framework

for exchange of information during the lifecycle. The Bentley Plant framework (for the oil andgas solution) is based on ISO 15926, which ensures that the framework is open and easily

accessible to third-party software and supports intelligent data exchange between owner-

operators and their contractors.

With the ISO15926 framework, Bentley’s oil and gas solutions complete the lifecycle by allowing

data reuse for rapid project startup, both for greenfield and brownfield projects.

Effectively managing the data for reuse delivers significant time and cost benefits by getting

new projects started faster and with more complete information.

Case Studies

Giprotyumenneftegaz developed project deliverables and cost estimates for the West-Salym

oil field development in Russia. It was a complex project integrating many disciplines (process

site, industrial area, camp, and utilities). A huge volume of information, including survey maps,models, drawings, explanatory notes, cost estimates, and bills of materials were generated by

the many companies who worked on this project. Bentley oil and gas solutions were

employed during all design phases, allowing Giprotyumenneftegaz to maintain coordination

across disparate teams and to automate the generation of accurate deliverables. A 3D model

of the site landscape allowed the company to make the site leveling exact, as well as to

calculate earthworks, resulting in a savings of over six months in the life of the project.

PlantSpace Design Series was used to create 3D models of the facilities under design.

VECO Alaska simultaneously engineered ConocoPhillips’ drill sites 3 and 4 in 2004 and 2005.

VECO reused intelligent site-4 data to create the drill site 5 design. This resulted in a 30 per-

cent cost reduction, with estimated savings of over 23,000 man-hours and approximately $2

million for this drill site. VECO used the Bentley oil and gas solutions to perform the design

and manage the data. ProjectWise security greatly reduced the misuse and loss of data. The

ability to control all of the disciplines and users at different levels helped to maintain project

integrity. ProjectWise also allowed VECO to manage and distribute the construction docu-

ments. VECO credits its cost and time reduction to better management of data and smarter

use of shared information through Bentley oil and gas solutions.

KBR uses Bentley’s plant structural analysis,

design, and documentation tools for an

existing refinery facility to support the

increased production of a fluid-catalyst

cracking unit. A structural evaluation of the

47-year-old reactor structure in Toledo, Ohio,

was required to determine the feasibility of

the proposed expansion.

Bentley’s STAAD® product was used to gen-

erate wind load on this complex structure.

Modeling was performed using the graphical

user interface. Record low execution time

for this project earned praises from the client. KBR saved 300 man-hours and $30,000 as a

result of enhanced 3D graphical views and application of wind load.




Quip S.A. used Bentley’s plant visualization and simulation for its offshore platform P53.

Located 120 kilometers off the Brazilian coast and moored at a depth of 1,080 meters, this

floating producing unit (FPU) platform will have the capacity to produce and process 180,000

barrels of gas and six million normal cubic meters of gas a day. The FPU will not store the

produced oil and gas in its tanks, as they are immediately transferred to other platforms.

Quip S.A. developed the FPU P53 platform and presented all review sessions using Bentley®

NavigatorTM, which gave the engineers and technical team access to 3D visualization so

potential problems could be identified in advance. This was the first 3D visualization initiative

in Brazilian offshore projects, and now other Brazilian EPCs are starting to adopt this concept.

M7 Offshore of Norway innovatively used Bentley technologies to upgrade Bilabri-FPOS.

Whakaaropai is a Suezmax-sized vessel operating on the Maui B oil field off New Zealand for

Shell Todd Oil Services Ltd. Built in 1976 and converted in 1995/96, she was renamed Bilabri and

upgraded as part of a project to engineer a new test separator module and a riser balcony.

Tying a new module into an existing one of this size is normally a complex engineering task,

but a model was created using Bentley software with accuracy down to a millimeter by scanning

the site and obtaining a point-cloud model. Bentley CloudWorx converted the interface sections

into CAD elements to be imported into the CAD model. The firm also used PlantSpace to

produce quick, nonintelligent P&IDs, 3D models and ISO production, and 3D steel models and

drawings.

Bechtel Corporation is using Bentley’s ProjectWise system to collaborate on the Jamnagar

Export Refinery Project (JERP) in India. JERP has a plot plan bigger than that of London and a

target completion time of less than 36 months.

Bechtel is tackling this megaproject using engineering resources dispersed around the globe,including a design and engineering team of 2,500 professionals in 10 design locations, 19

offices, and eight countries. In total, the project will employ more than 90,000 people during

construction and call for the fabrication and installation of 109,170 metric tons of steel, about

5 million meters of varied-size pipe, more than 4,000 pieces of major equipment, and more

than 110,000 isometrics.

Nearly 1,000 users in nine locations are employing ProjectWise to ensure that more than

50,000 drawings are available to the correct discipline at the correct location. With

ProjectWise, the drawings can be worked on collaboratively, enabling designers in one

location to view the results of design teams in other offices almost immediately. This means

Bechtel can rapidly distribute the project work to the different locations in a much more granularway – by unit, by discipline, and even by drawing – as the needs of the project dictate.

A key advantage realized by the project team is the ability to search for and find all files that

were changed in the last week, and to cross reference the location of the files found with the

location of the person who last changed them. This enables the JERP team to regularly reassess

and redistribute their project content, optimizing productivity and reducing network traffic.

Quip S.A. developed the

FPU P53 platform and

presented all review

sessions using Bentley

Navigator, which gave

the engineers and tech-

nical team access to 3D

visualization so poten-

tial problems could be

identified in advance.

Using ProjectWise to track and manage data, Bechtel has been able to facilitate the reuse of

more than 25 percent of the design and engineering information generated during construction

of the original facilities. This has proved to be critically important in meeting the project’s

aggressive schedule.

In Conclusion

Clearly, as these applications by major players in the oil and gas industry show, there is a

growing demand for software solutions that properly manage data throughout the engineering

work process. Owner-operators who are deploying these solutions have eliminated unnecessary

documents, reduced expenditures and, in many cases, seen an immediate return on their software

investment. The Bentley oil and gas solutions set offers owner-operators a comprehensive suite

of products that manage projects cost-effectively and ensure on-time project delivery.
