Petrofac has recently been awarded a three year contract to provide a condition monitoring programme for Bumi Armadaâs Olombendo floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit bound for offshore Angola. This contract builds on the extensive track record Petrofac has developed through its asset management team in supporting FPSO requirements. The scope of work will include the implementation of the condition monitoring programme, training, an ABS initial submission report, monthly vibration and lube oil analysis, risk based reporting and hardware and software support through Petrofacâs proprietary CBMnet system.
Steve Johnson, Vice President Asset Management, Petrofac Engineering & Production Services, said: âWe will work in alignment with Bumi Armada to transition the current maintenance strategy on-board the FPSO from preventative to predictive. Through this change we will actively monitor and measure asset-specific variables that can impact and disrupt performance. Our CBMnet system will work in parallel to support the programme, providing recommendations that will optimise maintenance activities to increase overall asset reliability and achieve maximum production.â?
This award builds on a contract secured in May 2015 from Bumi Armada to provide a maintenance management system for the Armada Kraken FPSO, deployed in the East Shetland basin.
