Maersk Oil has awarded Datum360 a four-year contract to implement Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions for the Culzean development in the UK North Sea.
The key component of the solution, PIM360, will be at the centre of Culzean’s engineering data management.
Datum360 software has been used for the issuing, maintenance and creation of a tagging and numbering specification together with the matching of these to specific documents which will capture work completed on all the platforms and vessel.
Using an integrated solution is the smartest and most economically advantageous way that owner operators should work. Not only does it enhance the consistency of data, but it also increases overall productivity and creates a more structured approach to managing vast amounts of project information Datum360 said.
As well as implementing Datum360’s DMaaS (Data Management as a Service), Maersk has also used the company to advise its data control center on processes and software and currently to train staff on engineering information systems.
“Maersk is really driving to increase its efficiencies and implement improvements to their engineering information management, which will play a significant role in reducing costs and saving the company time,” Steve Wilson, CEO and co-founder of Datum360 said. “It is estimated that up to 60% of an engineer’s time can be spent moving and organising data on major assets like offshore oil platforms and vessels. If the systems they use are cobbled together, ineffective and or simply don’t interlink then this time is completely wasted.”
