A Digital Asset Approach from the Start of
Conceptual Engineering
AVEVA North America User MeetingJanuary 31, 2017
Agenda
Industry/Vista Overview
Conventional Approach
Challenge / Solution
Advantages
Key take away items
1. Use full suite of AVEVA tools,
including IE&D, AVEVANET
2. Start early in projects to
maximize benefits
3. Produce better quality
engineering with less
engineering effort and reduce
overall TIC
Mid-sized EP based in Calgary
Design specialty: oil & gas facilities
Typical Greenfield Project: $1B+
Execute with comprehensive set of
AVEVA tools since early 2015
About Vista Projects
Challenge - Issues with Conventional Approach
“Engineering for startup” not practiced by all contractors
Challenge (cont)
Where’s the Best Starting Point for a Digital Asset / Data
Centric Approach?
Conceptual Optimization FEED ExecutionDetailed
Engineering
Challenge (cont)
Multiple contractors are often required in early engineering with
specialty skill sets
Specific Cost Savings in Conceptual / FEED Engineering
P&IDs Integrated with Line List - Auto Line List Generation
P&IDs Integrated with Instrument Index - Auto Instrument Index Generation
3D Modelling Efficiency
P&ID Integrated with 3D Model – Auto Validation
Plot Plan Integrated with 3D Model
Reduced Piping Stress Cycles
Electrical Cable Schedule Integrated with 3D Model
Ease of Finding Information with AVEVANet
A common misconception
is that a digital asset
approach is too rigorous
and slow for early
engineering.
Experience shows that it
will save 15% and produce
better results
Case – Digital Project Hub for a $1B Refinery Expansion
Owner Operator decided to create Digital Project Hub for the start of FEED (Smart!)
• Full Aveva IE&D suite and AVEVANet
• All contractors will perform work within the owners environment
Conceptual / DBM work was completed using conventional tools
A conversion project was required to populate the data centric digital project hub
In order to avoid delay in the start of FEED, the conversion happened in parallel to DBM
activities
Errors in conventional engineering deliverables caused additional work during correct
• Unmatched OPCs on P&IDs
• 1D deliverables mismatched with 2D deliverables
Lesson Learned
The conversion was completed for a small amount relative to the future savings, but it could
have been avoided by starting with a data centric approach from the outset of engineering
Conclusion - Advantages of Starting Early
1. Create higher quality engineering deliverables at a lower cost early in project cycle
2. Align team on a digital approach
3. Learn lessons before project ramp up
4. Fewer unknowns when creating execution plans
5. Support more cost reduction iterations prior to execution
6. Better reuse of design from FEED to detailed engineering
7. Avoid converting conventional engineering deliverables mid-project
