Most power system models for industrial systems (e.g. ETAP, PTW, PowerFactory, etc) are put in the filing cabinet as soon as the design phase is over and the plant is operational. Occasionally, they are dusted off when a major expansion is planned, and although the models may be as-built, they […]

Did you know that operator error accounts for the highest dollar losses per incident in the process industries? How do these operator errors come about? Among the reasons for operator error is a lack of experience and confidence of operators to handle operational mishaps whenever these situations arise. That, coupled […]

In a standard oil and gas engineering design project executed with a 3D plant model, there are usually several formal model review sessions conducted at key milestone dates (e.g. 30%, 60% and 90% reviews). The sessions are run in conjunction with the client in order to review the plant design […]

There is often a disconnect between engineering houses and fabricators, particularly small to medium scale fabricators who may have little or no in-house 3D cad system capabilities. Typically what normally happens at the end of the project design phase is that the engineering company hands over their 3D model to […]

A little known fact about Indonesia and Malaysia is that their commercial oil and gas industries are among the oldest in the world. The Dutch were exploring for oil in Indonesia as far back as 1871 and began commercial production at Telaga Tunggal, Sumatra in 1885 (by the company that […]

The idea of lessons learned has been around for a long time in engineering and project management circles, so much so that it in many companies, it’s just another box to be ticked in a project closeout checklist. Lessons learned spreadsheets and databases abound in servers and hard drives all […]
