Imrandd has secured a contract with CNR International UK (CNRI) to deliver a late life inspection optimisation programme for the operator’s pressure systems on its remaining North Sea producing platforms.
CNRI has outlined it is in the process of planning decommissioning of the Ninian Southern and Ninian Central Platforms, while Tiffany will continue to produce.
A team of six industrial data scientists and engineers from Imrandd will use existing data from the three offshore installations to identify where inspection requirements could be removed or modified. Evaluating the risk, probability of failure and integrity status of current safety-critical equipment, they will deliver management plans which focus on reducing operational costs without compromising on integrity.
The Aberdeen firm’s EXTRACT software, which digitises legacy asset information, will be used in the initial phases of the project. Its latest innovation, the advanced Large Language Model feature, will be deployed in the third stage to enhance the insights available from Ninian Central and Tiffany, taking data at line level to provide additional in-depth and consistent sets of classifications.
Innes Auchterlonie, founder and CEO of Imrandd said: “We have worked closely with CNRI to understand their needs and support them with strategies for maximising the performance of these assets as they plan ahead for the Ninian oilfield.
“As decommissioning becomes more and more prevalent, it is essential late life strategies are optimised to ensure cost and efficiency savings. Managing complex offshore infrastructures is often a delicate balance between leveraging vast volumes of legacy inspection data and integrating a stream of new inputs from ongoing inspections. Because of these challenges, accurate planning and predicting the need for engineering, inspection, and maintenance activities is critical to maintaining performance and saving operators valuable time and investment.
“Data analysis and unlocking actionable insights is therefore key to delivering commercial and operational objectives. This late life integrity management scope with CNRI will ensure that the operator is fully armed with the most robust and trusted information to make responsive and effective decisions with confidence.”
Imrandd has been helping its clients in energy and other industrial sectors across the UK for the past eight years.
