Norsk Hydro - Brage Tail Production
The Brage field is one of several fields within the Oseberg Business Unit. The field is produced from one integrated platform and production was well over the plateau.
Critical issues: - The offshore operational activities needed to be reduced and more efficient work processes focusing on the core activities to maintain production and safety needed to be developed
- This implied significant changes to daily work for personnel offshore and onshore
- Trust in the work process and acceptance of the future solutions by the stakeholders, particularly employees and labour unions representatives, were essential to achieve the overall goals
Solutions:
- In the initial phase, we carried out a feasibility study with the aim of identifying possible project "stoppers" related to the change process, operational and maintenance limitations, and personnel safety
- Our mission was to ensure successful execution and implementation of future solutions to operate and maintain the platform safely and cost-efficiently
Value delivered: - DNV secured a professional and consistent change process towards a more effective and lean organisation
- Through thorough safety and emergency preparedness studies, it was demonstrated to all stakeholders that the overall safety level would be maintained
- Verification based on previous experience with maintenance and operability assessments ensured that the proposed solutions were feasible and would meet the economical goals
