Recently, our sales executive, Gaute Madsen, crossed the Stavanger bay to visit the Worley Rosenberg yard, marking the start of the MIMS Engineering Suite that is set to launch later this year. Draga is an authorised reseller of MIMS Engineering Suite and drives further development together with input from our clients. Worley is a well-known supplier of engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services to multiple Oil and Gas companies.
Advancing operations for better oil exploration
Floating Production and Storage Offloading or FPSO vessels are a key part of the offshore oil and gas industry, particularly in smaller deep-water fields. As large and complex structures that often outlast the lifespans of production facilities, they can carry with them decades worth of paper documentation.
Draga has worked with multiple Owner Operators on FPSO projects, including securely managing digitised documents in an EDMS using AI-powered Optical Character Recognition tools. However, our team has yet to set foot on a FPSO, since they are usually offshore ensuring uninterrupted production and processing.
Fortunately for Gaute, the FPSO Jotun was brought ashore for a large refurbishment and system upgrade on the day of his visit to Worley’s yard.
The FPSO upgrade is a part of the Balder Future project which aims to raise millions of barrels of oil equivalent from the oil-rich Balder field by 2045. The upgrade includes an overhaul of the latest control and security systems, living quarters, and process equipment.
Streamlined solutions for yard cable management
For Gaute, who had only seen the yard from across the bay from Draga’s Stavanger office, this in-person visit was a great opportunity to gain insight into real-life preparation work and build stronger relationships with potential clients.
During the tour, Gaute had the opportunity to learn more about the history of the vessel, its capabilities, and day-to-day operational challenges. One of the challenges discussed was the difficulties of keeping the cables organised and accessing an overview of the correct cable routing. This is something that MIMS CABSYS is built to address. CABSYS was developed in Norway to manage cables in large CAPEX projects. CABSYS is now owned by MIMS Tech Pte. Ltd. in Singapore, and brings over 45 years of experience into MIMS Engineering Suite.
The MIMS CABSYS system can help projects like the Jotun FPSO to control the purchase of cables. With cloud-enabled technology that powers seamless data connection and smart equipment integration, engineers can access cable information faster and more efficiently.
The FPSO Jotun is expected to resume operation within 2025.
Uncovering new digital opportunities
Here at Draga, we believe that by using the MIMS CABSYS tool you can perform effective cable management, which will be a key for streamlined operations and quicker project completion. Our recent visit to Worley Rosenberg’s yard highlights our commitment towards driving digital transformation and meaningful collaboration in the Oil and Gas industry. With the development of MIMS Engineering Suite underway, we are excited to explore new engineering possibilities alongside our clients.
