Chevron has selected Avena to provide and implement a
critical-information web portal to support its Agbami oil operation
in
Nigeria.
When completed, the Agbami floating production, located 70 miles
offshore, will be the biggest of its kind in the world, producing
250,000 barrels of oil per day.
The Avena Net Portal is a web-enabled system for the integration
and
collaborative use of all engineering information.
Three-dimensional models, schematics, documents and data from
any application can be accessed and navigated in context, with full
intelligence, without needing the source application that
originally created the data.
When operational, the system will be managed from the Chevron
offices in Lekki, Nigeria. The design and engineering work will be
co-ordinated over a number of sites internally in Nigeria, with
specialist contractors internationally and with the Agbami system
itself.
Using the Avena Net Portal platform, information will be
continuously updated on the master hub and then synchronised with
the replicated data onboard the system.
The data includes the three-dimensional ship-facility model,
documents and other information, ensuring that reliable and
accurate data is available online at any time during operation.
