VROC has been awarded a contract to provide predictive maintenance to TAQA following a successful Proof of Concept Trial.
Three platforms Tern, Cormorant Alpha and Harding will initially use the AI predictive analytics technology, with an option to add a fourth platform, North Cormorant once sensors and communications are installed.
The six-month POC project was spear-headed by TAQA’s reliability team based in Aberdeen UK, to harness technology to improve its late life oil and gas platform’s reliability and productivity.
During the trial more than five proactive interventions were identified and predicted by VROC, providing the TAQA team with the insights to make informed businesses decisions.
Ian Anderson, VROC UK chief executive officer, said: “We are extremely proud to be working with TAQA, which is one of the first oil and gas companies in the North sea to fully embed AI predictive maintenance into its operations.
“Brownfield oil and gas platforms like these can benefit greatly from the critical insights the technology provides, helping improve ongoing asset reliability and productivity.”
The VROC predictive analytics platform holistically monitors the health of assets, to predict impending equipment failures, reducing process degradation and providing rapid root cause analysis. The technology also allows industrial businesses to optimize their processes, improve the reliability of assets and production, whilst delivering OPEX savings to the business.
