Total’s
Norwegian subsidiary, Total Norge has deployed Aveva’s ‘Activity
visualization platform’ (AVP) to train operators of Martin Linge
platform in the North Sea. Aveva COO Derek Middlemas explained ‘Total
required an accurate and realistic environment to familiarize staff
with operations of the facility before going offshore. Training has
started in parallel with construction so that safe operations can be
assured from first oil. Later in the platform’s life, the AVP will
provide a risk free environment where complex and potentially hazardous
scenarios can be simulated. The AVP also enhances safety by minimizing
trips offshore.’
The AVP is a
component of Aveva’s ‘digital asset’ concept that leverages design
models beyond traditional design and construction. Immersive
training solutions let owner operators tailor and repurpose design
models for training, simulation and operational readiness. Aveva
sees the Martin Linge deployment as an important milestone in its
digital asset strategy and expects more use of its PDMS and 3D models
in training and simulation. More from Aveva.
