Aize has expanded its collaboration with Aker BP to include a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) agreement for all the latter’s relevant facilities on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
The continuation of the existing partnership involves implementing Aize for Aker BP’s topsides to improve efficiency across projects and operations.
The two companies have focused on developing a digital twin that aims to support current brownfield project needs while also supporting development of the product to suit operational needs at Yggdrasil in the North Sea, the largest current greenfield development on the shelf.
Yggdrasil is using Aize services for platform visualization and collaboration, and the company is also supporting work in the Norwegian Sea on the Skarv FPSO, a first brownfield application for Aker BP.
The aim is to implement new ways of working in brownfield and greenfield projects through simplifying access to information across systems, applications and domains.
Aize software is said to enable seamless navigation and access to relevant information in project execution and asset operations, leading to lower costs and improved efficiency.
It allows Aker BP to visualize, monitor and collaborate on its asset models in 2D and 3D, strengthening collaboration internally between engineers and also between the company and its field partners.
As part of the new SaaS agreement, the two parties will continue to work closely to facilitate implementation and adoption by targeted users.
