About The Customer
Aibel is a leading service company within the upstream oil & gas industry. A longtime partner of AVEVA, Aibel delivers customized turnkey solutions for engineering, construction, modifications, and maintenance. A company of 4,000, Aibel operates out of nine offices spread out across Norway, Denmark, and Southeast Asia. Aibel’s latest project involved the engineering, procurement, and construction of a 22,500 ton drilling platform for a global energy company called Equinor. The scope of the project was massive, but having utilised AVEVA PDMS for the past 20 years, Aibel knew they had the manpower and software necessary to complete the $1.2 billion project on time and under budget.
The Challenge
Aibel, a leading service company in the upstream oil & gas industry, was tasked with the engineering, procurement, and construction of a 22,500 ton drilling platform for a global energy company called Equinor. The project was massive in scale and required collaboration from over 850 engineers from all over the world. The challenge was to manage this large-scale project across multiple international offices and deliver the platform on time and under budget. The scale of the project was such that it was unsupportable by most software.
The Solution
Aibel leveraged AVEVA's powerful engineering and design tools, specifically AVEVA PDMS, to facilitate collaboration across multiple international offices and deliver the Johan Sverdrup Drilling Platform on time and under budget. More than 850 engineers from all over the world contributed to the engineering and design phase of the project alone. At its peak, Aibel employed 300 AVEVA PDMS licenses, resulting in upwards of 55,000 CAD drawings. According to Aibel, a smooth design process wouldn’t have been possible without PDMS Global’s multi-site functionality. For the next phase of the project, Aibel plans to transition from PDMS to AVEVA E3D and AVEVA Engineering, AVEVA’s latest and greatest solutions.
Operational Impact
  • 20 percent reduction in engineering hours.
  • Smooth design process facilitated by PDMS Global’s multi-site functionality.
  • Successful completion of the project on time and under budget.
  • Transition to AVEVA E3D and AVEVA Engineering for future projects.
Quantitative Benefit
  • 20 percent reduction in engineering hours.
  • 300 AVEVA PDMS licenses employed at peak.
  • 55,000 CAD drawings produced.
