BP Oman earns Advancements in Asset Performance Award from Bentley

November 14, 2017 – BP Oman has won the BIM Advancements in Asset Performance of Utilities and Industrial Facilities category in Bentley’s Be Inspired Awards program. The announcement was made during Bentley’s annual Year in Infrastructure Conference, held in Singapore last month.

The Khazzan Project in Oman is one of BP’s seven major projects in 2017, and started its production in September 2017. BP Oman was selected as a finalist from more than 400 nominations of projects around the world, and as the winner out of the three finalists in its category.

BP Oman has created a Central Information Store (CIS) to manage and maintain information needed for operations, including all documents, tags, associated metadata and 3D model visualization. It identified the Bentley solution, as it enables migration of all this information from the project CIS, that is supporting the capital project process, to the operations CIS in an efficient way to support safe and reliable operations.

BP is leveraging its years of experience using Bentley’s AssetWise for engineering content management. The solution is deployed in projects around the world, and BP Oman is the first operating company to deploy AssetWise to support operations. The CIS supports the BP operations in Oman and its support offices, as well as certain third parties with whom they contract work.

The CIS maintains the integrity of BP asset information to provide an accurate and comprehensive digital baseline for configuration. It also provides a master set of information that supports information sharing across both the project and operations teams.

BP has implemented Bentley’s connected data environment through AssetWise on Microsoft Azure.
