Best Practices – Oil and Gas Bentley’s 3D solutions allowed different specialists to work in parallel on the same objects, which accelerated design time, reduced mistakes, and improved the technical quality. Given the high volume of projects undertaken by the design institute, the improved productivity has helped Giprotyumenneftegaz become much more competitive in the region. “The annual volume of work we perform has increased eight times in the past four years,” said Sergey Sokolov, general director of Giprotyumenneftegaz. “Our productivity has increased six times with the same number of personnel.” Photorealistic decision support The project team used photorealistic object models to visualize the design and conﬁguration of the pump station and discharge facility. The facilities perform water-oil emulsion and gas separation; preliminary discharge, treatment, and pumping of formation water; emulsion transport; and gas processing and transportation to a compressor station. The team also designed auxiliary systems for gas ﬂare, water treatment, chemical and methanol injection, gas processing, and frost protection. Special design considerations included grouping elements in functional zones, arranging process units in accordance with harmful emissions class and ﬁre hazard category, and optimizing accident prevention and maintenance. Using base data provided by Yuganskneftegaz, the project team calculated basic production streams, then chose appropriate equipment, developed process diagrams, and analyzed pipeline strength under static and dynamic loads. During 3D design, more than 90 object plot plans were developed. With the great number of objects under design, the digital information content included about 6,000 ﬁles such as engineering survey maps, models, drawings, general explanatory notes, estimates, and equipment speciﬁcations all totaling more than 30 gigabytes. The integrated information ﬁeld within the 3D model facilitated information exchange between different design stages. The work of several groups, including Russian and foreign subcontractors, was combined in the 3D model, which was used to generate drawings, sections, and elevations. The 3D technologies for designing complex objects reduced the number of mistakes during design documentation and automated labor-intensive processes such as collision detection, speciﬁcation, and estimate development. As a result, design time was reduced by 1.5 to 2 times, and design costs were reduced by about 25 to 30 percent. Giprotyumenneftegaz performs all large projects as 3D models deliverable to the customer. Using these visualization tools at the early stage of design enables the team to make decisions about the physical conﬁguration that result in more elegant technical solutions for the client. At the giant Priobskoye oil ﬁeld, this single project is designed for an oil production rate of 9,163 million tons per year, with a maximum liquid quantity of 19,182 tons per year. The booster pump station with preliminary water discharge facility was designed to accommodate potential site expansion and construction in stages, so the facilities will perform as a uniﬁed whole when production peaks. Looking to the time when the Priobskoye oil ﬁeld is depleted, the governor of Khanty-Mansiysk district has said he envisions a vibrant high-tech industry as the new economic engine. Using oil money to fund higher education and scientiﬁc research facilities today is part of the government’s plan to provide a better life for tomorrow’s citizens of this isolated region.
