Equinor – GOC

One of our valuable and long-term customer relationships is with Equinor’s GOC (Geo operation center). 

The center’s main target is to support all GEO operations from onshore. They have large amounts of information to process for each task. And their decision-making processes and shift arrangements require that they work in a structured manner. The center has implemented Enify as part of its operational way of working. It gives them quick access to information, they know everyone looks at the same information, and they can share more efficiently. They also get optimal use of their screen areas.

Haukeland University Hospital

A modern hospital is a complex facility with hundreds of different software systems organizing patients, resources, doctors, rooms, journals, plans, x-rays, staff and much more. They all play a significant role, making the specific area more effective, with higher quality. However, to optimize the total operation of the hospital, so most users must relate to many different systems. Furthermore, when a team is collaborating to make plans, the diversity of systems may make it even more demanding.

At Helse Bergen Epsis software suite is used at selected clinics to orchestrate the diversity of software systems, ensuring proper use of every system, consistency across the various systems and process compliance. A missing doctor, room maintenance or a patient no-show was previously frequently causing delays, now the number of annoying situations like these is reduced to a minimum.

At a plastic-surgery clinic implementing Epsis software suite has resulted in shorter meetings. While they used an average time of 75 minutes to conduct the meetings before, they have now reduced them to 30 minutes. As a result, this gives more than half an hour extra time for each of the eight doctors in the meeting to use on patientcare.

The complexity of a today’s hospital enables Epsis software suite to add significant progress towards optimal use of available resources in the organization. For more information about the project look here (Norwegian only) : Virtuell integrering (VI) – Helse Bergen (helse-bergen.no)

ConocoPhillips

ConocoPhillips is the world’s largest independent exploration and production company, based on proved reserves and production. With operations in 27 countries, over 18,400 men and women work in a truly integrated way in order to find and produce oil and natural gas.

ConocoPhillips Norge is operator for the Greater Ekofisk Area (GEA). GEA is in decline with production being controlled by rate of delivery of wells and capacity and regularity of processing facilities. ConocoPhillips Norge is considered one of the front-runners in the implementation of Integrated Operations (IO), i.e. integrating people through collaboration and work processes. Its operational model is fully based on IO, with more than 20 IO centres operational in its offices in Stavanger.

One of these IO centres is the Production Delivery Centre (PDC). It was established in 2014 with a goal to coordinate, integrate and optimize all production related activities across disciplines and time-scales, ensuring that the assets in GEA are produced in the most profitable manner. This mandate requires a continuous surveillance of all relevant production related activities and a number of collaborative meetings to coordinate with other groups.

The Epsis software was used to facilitate both. Meetings and collaboration sessions are pre-defined, independent of application and location, and executed with a single mouse click. This provides effective meeting execution, information sharing and visualization allowing for real time decision making. To keep all team members updated on the current overall situation, the Situational Awareness Displays are run on video walls, showing life applications with up-to-date and relevant production related information. This solution is supplemented with Epsis software installed on individual workstations to facilitate follow-up work and to be able to publish ad-hoc content in a collaborative meeting or on the situational awareness displays.

Maersk

Epsis has delivered consulting services, with a focus on Integrated Operations (IO), to Maersk Oil for two major field development projects.

For Maersk Culzean, Epsis assisted in developing the IO program, from theoretical objectives to practical scope, by interviewing stakeholders to create a series of requirements documents. The scope covered IO environment, mobility solutions for field maintenance, ways of working & guided activities, visualization & decision support tools, Information Systems infrastructure, support and governance plans.

Epsis supported Maersk Oil in Copenhagen to develop IO strategies and an operational philosophy for the Tyra Future re-development project. The objective was to define a lean, and flexible organization, ensuring increased reliability, reduced OPEX, improved operational readiness and faster steady-state operation through implementation of new technology.

Additionally, Epsis have delivered support and expertise to develop Maersk Oil’s Real Time Drilling Strategy; aimed at reducing Non-Productive Time (NPT) through the improved application of real time data in the Well Delivery Process.
