The Agbami FPSO will be 110km offshore and produce 250,000 barrels of oil per day from the billion barrel Agbami field. It will also inject water and associated gas for reservoir pressure management and will be equipped with the latest environmental protection technology.

The $US1.1 Agbami FPSO is being built by South Korea’s Daewoo Shipping and Marine Engineering Corporation. It will be managed from Chevron’s Lekki, Nigeria offices. The design and engineering work will be coordinated over several sites internally in Nigeria using specialist contractors internationally and on the Agbami FPSO.

Using Aveva Net Portal, information will be continually updated on the master hub and synchronised with the replicated data onboard the FPSO which will include piping and instrumentation diagrams, the 3D ship-facility model, documents, and other information ensuring reliable and accurate data is available online at any time during operation.

Aveva Net Portal was designed to be a fully flexible and easy-to-implement solution for the management of engineering data across the lifecycle of a project.

Based on ISO15926 and XML technology, Aveva Net Portal is a web-enabled solution for the integration and collaborative use of all engineering information. It is intended to enable access to and navigation in of context 3D models, schematics, documents and data from any application, without needing the source application that originally created the data.

According to Aveva, a specialist in petroleum, plant and marine applications, the portal reduces the time it takes to find information, increases quality and consistency of data, and makes the information accessible across all stakeholders globally. This reduces risks and costs in the design, build and operation of large capital engineering projects.
