Making Sure Your Asset Runs Efficiently
COMBINING ENGINEERING, FIELD WORK TO DESIGN & OPTIMIZE ASSET OPERATIONS
Extensive knowledge and experience is required not only to fully understand how an asset should work, but also to know how to maintain efficient working conditions. Each facility is different, presenting new and unique challenges.
In order to tackle these challenges, GATE Energy has a centralized Asset Management Team that combines the multidisciplinary engineering and field workforce to provide design and operational support focusing on the integrity management, flow assurance management and process efficiency. This entails utilizing a methodical systems approach supported by custom-designed management tools so that the most cost-effective options, that allow the facility to operate at its highest production, potential are identified and designed for.
The skill set required to achieve such cost-optimized solutions draws on the core strengths of the GATE Energy Asset Management team including:
- Integration of the engineering efforts and interface management from production facilities through pipeline terminals is accomplished by the centralized multi-discipline team.
- Work by the functional groups at the facility is coordinated to eliminate the duplicate efforts and isolated applications. Instead, we yield to interdependent coherent solutions by the knowledge confined in the centralized team covering the areas of corrosion management, fluid flow, production chemistry, process and fluid flow control, and surveillance and monitoring.
- Utilization of system-wide approach focuses on individual locations and components whilst maintaining awareness of the larger system around them.
Where We Apply Our Services
From turnkey to scalable, the services of our Asset Management team can be applied to the following scenarios:
- Design, Installation & Commissioning of Pipeline Systems
- Valuation & Optimization Before/During/After Asset Handover
- OPEX/Efficiency Evaluations
- Risk Based Condition Assessment – Remaining Life & Extension
- Managing Unforeseen Operational Challenges
- Root-Cause Investigations
- Identification of Rehabilitation Options
- Remediation & Management Improvement Planning
- Managing Data & System Setup
Our Process
Our Asset Management Plan will focus on four areas that are key to any asset. Each of these areas encompasses several services that can be provided on their own as well as together to encompass a well rounded asset management process.
Objective & Added Value
Our objective is to provide comprehensive and feasible solutions through system-wide assessments that integrates inputs from upstream through pipeline operations. Through this process, we are able to:
- Develop functional operating plans and management procedures.
- Provide continuous improvement through effective and coherent data management, modeling and evaluations.
- Minimize HSE integrity and operational risks to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) levels.
- Apply informed financial decisions to establish the desired balance between CAPEX and OPEX.
- Highest possible production throughput (highest capacity).
- Optimize resource allocation through centralized engineering, data and manpower capabilities
