In an industry where safety, efficiency, and reliability are paramount, OKEA took a bold step forward by embracing Integrity Elementz – a groundbreaking asset integrity management tool.
Overview.
As a leading mid and late life oil and gas company on the Norwegian continental shelf, OKEA acquired the Draugen offshore field from giant Shell in 2018. Initiating a new campaign of asset integrity management for Draugen meant OKEA was open to exploring and investing in next generation inspection software for its subsea assets.
As the first to adopt this software during its initial release in 2021, OKEA played a pivotal role in shaping the tool’s development, transforming their own operations in the process. This case study highlights how OKEA leveraged strategic collaboration and digital innovation to redefine asset integrity management, paving the way for optimised data capture, seamless storage, and streamlined workflows.
Challenges in Subsea Asset Integrity Management.
OKEA’s early adoption of Integrity Elementz presented unique challenges. Integrating a brand-new cloud-based tool into established systems and processes required adaptability and persistence.
By working closely with The Elementz Teams, OKEA navigated the complexities of data migration, ensured compatibility with legacy systems, and embraced extensive training initiatives to secure user buy-in. These efforts were instrumental in driving adoption and optimising workflows, making OKEA an industry leader in digital asset integrity management subsea.
- Data Migration and Quality
- Compatibility with Existing Systems
- User Training and Change Management
By overcoming these obstacles, OKEA not only enhanced operational efficiency but also laid the groundwork for future digital transformation in asset integrity management
