Shutdowns and Upgrades

Platform stoppages cost money. Production is key to profitability and any pause in operation has an immediate effect on the corporate bottom line. Routine maintenance shutdowns and platform upgrades therefore come under extreme pressure to incur minimal downtime.

But just how long will the platform be shut down? Exactly when will you be ready for the heavy lift vessel? What about the extent and timing of accommodation requirements? Are your suppliers being honest in their predictions?

Weather, productivity and component reliability are examples of the uncertainties inherent within such an undertaking, making the planning exercise all the more difficult. Despite this, project managers and business planners need to gain an understanding of the range of possible outcomes and likely conclusions to provide corporate and partner assurance as to the viability of the exercise.
