Best Practices – Oil and Gas BE AWARD NOMINEE LNG Terminal Snohvit Organization: SUEZ Tractebel Engineering Category: Innovation in Oil and Gas Using PlantSpace and Bentley Structural building information modeling applications, the design team generated 74 piping models, 20 equipment models, 84 structural models, and 1,500 isometrics. ProjectWise facilitated communication among all team members so the construction timelines could be met. Hampered by Arctic conditions and a short construction season, engineers working on this complex installation faced signiﬁcant challenges, not to mention tight deadlines. “The low temperature was the ﬁrst problem, and thus construction timelines were very tight,” explained Eric Mahy, IT engineering systems manager at SUEZ Tractebel. “With the compliance deadlines, complexity of the installation, lack of space for the plant, and life on site for the project team, communication among all the partners was essential.” The Snohvit terminal shipped its ﬁrst cargo in October 2007, becoming Europe’s ﬁrst LNG export facility. Statoil expects annual shipments of 70 cargos totaling 6 billion cubic meters per year. Headquartered in Stavanger, Norway, Statoil has partnered with Petoro, Total E&P Norge AS, Gaz de France, Hess Norge, and RWE Dea AG to develop the ﬁelds over the next 25 years. By investing in LNG, these energy companies are diversifying the natural gas supply and contributing to the energy security of Europe and the United States.
