Safety and reliability are critical factors



Safety and reliability are of paramount concern to all companies working in the oil & gas industry. The current market climate is forcing companies to minimize their operating costs while increasing maximum levels of safety.

Operating an offshore platform demands maximum attention and focus on important key factors like in risk-decision making, explosion hazard process integrity, leaks, dispersion, ventilation and detection, fires and fire protection.

How to reduce the risks of working in this hazardous environment ensuring maximum levels of safety on the installations ?

Virtual Reality is the only tool able to place people in the middle of the action without leaving their working place. It provides with all the systematic feedback needed to control safety and manage reliability issues by recreating specific conditions.

Walkinside, our three-dimensional visualization and simulation tool, ensures a maximum level of safety by enabling the simulation of high-risk situations and hazardous events in real-time. It makes the information and safety procedures available in a form which can be understood and used at anytime by everyone.

Thanks to its unique "Real-Time Collision Detection Technology©", Walkinside offers an unrevealed level of realism making it easier for training the personnel to assess and helping them to become more familiar with their future working environment on the offshore platform.

ProcessLife will enhance the level of realism of safety training and allow your team leaders to create safety scenarios as easily as playing dominoes.


Offshore platform maintenance

Due to the high cost of operating an offshore platform, it is imperative that the maintenance system does not fail. Oil and gas production availability is largely dependant upon the reliability and maintainability of equipment, which in turn is influenced by human operational and maintenance activities. There is no need to highlight how important it is to run an offshore platform under safe, reliable and cost-effective conditions, and maintenance is of course the most important key to success !

Defining the best maintenance choices is a constant concern of platform operators in order to uphold the highest level of safety and controlled maintenance costs. Decisions must be based on functional needs which are identified by considering the importance of preventive maintenance which represents an average of two thirds of the global maintenance costs.

By seeking excellence in operations training and based on the analysis done, Walkinside improves daily attitudes allowing better use of personnel to do proactive maintenance rather than reactive maintenance. By using in-house the VR model that perfectly mimics the environment, the technicians can walk inside everywhere they want to and access all critical parts before joining the offshore platform. Outstanding !

ProcessLife allows you to manage your plant by knowing exactly where each equipment is as well as accessing its technical description in a snap.

Communicate your ideas

With Walkinside, you can highlight your project's idea and demonstrate the project layout to all the involved people. Due to its unique capability to embed all the project's models, Walkinside can show all the project parts in the same presentation session, with a unique and continuous idea of size, position and relationship.
