Petrofac was awarded a three-year contract to provide a condition monitoring program for the FPSO Olombendo on route to Angola. The FPSO Olombendo, currently under conversion in Singapore, is destined for ENI’s 15/06 East Hub field development near the end of 2016.
As a certified ABS Recognized External Specialist in Condition Monitoring and Mobius Institute Board of Certification training partner, the 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 program, training, an ABS initial submission report, monthly vibration and lube oil analysis, risk based reporting and hardware and software support through Petrofac’s proprietary CBMnet system.
Steve Johnson, VP Asset Management, Petrofac Engineering & Production Services, said: “We 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 program, providing recommendations that will optimize maintenance activities to increase overall asset reliability and achieve maximum production.”
