Overview

Challenge

A global energy company wanted to improve accuracy and efficiency in the scheduling and execution of critical plant maintenance activities on their offshore platforms. They also wanted to get clarity and visibility of core maintenance KPIs and week-on-week maintenance performance with opportunities for improving data accuracy.

Solution

  • Blend worked with the offshore and onshore teams to design, build, and deploy a digital scheduler tool that digitizes the planning of maintenance, tracking of execution and reporting on KPIs such as compliance and root cause for delays or incomplete work orders.
  • Moving away from manual data extraction and manipulation into excel, Blend designed and built data pipelines to automate the flow of planned maintenance data into the digital schedular tool.
  • Blend joined the existing in-house Data and Digital function, working across key initiatives including performance monitoring and leak detection in gas pipelines; asset integrity dashboards; and hydrocarbon accounting reporting.

Impact

  • Offshore maintenance operations review time reduced, with near real time performance visibility.
  • Client gains insights for future maintenance planning with improved performance tracking and historic data analysis.
  • Enhanced data accuracy, governance and auditability with spreadsheet removal.
