Transformation in Petrofac's operations via digitally-connected workforce
Petrofac, a leading international oil and gas company, has partnered with Accenture to digitally transform its upstream operations, engineering, and construction. The collaboration aims to implement a digitally enabled workforce for Petrofac, with the goal of maximising economic recovery in the oil and gas sector by focusing on efficiency, optimization, and cost reduction.
The partnership began with the question, "How can we equip our adp workforce now with the digital tools to work more efficiently?" The answer lies in the connected worker solution, one of the first of its kind in the energy industry. This innovative solution provides over-the-shoulder subject matter expert (SME) support for routine maintenance, inspections, troubleshooting incidents, and live repairs through the use of Realwear wearable headsets.
The connected worker solution has brought about significant improvements for Petrofac, leading to an increase in worker efficiency, effectiveness, and safety. The digital technologies are seen as critical enablers of Petrofac's strategic vision.
The initiative is taking place on the UK Continental Shelf. The solution improves knowledge transfer and upskilling within Petrofac, allowing for digital executions of inspections and autonomous documentation of data and media captured on the headset. Troubleshooting incidents and scoping needed repairs through interactive remote assistance allows onshore SMEs to guide offshore engineers more effectively.
The ability to execute procedures through digital work instructions and record, save, and upload evidence of equipment prior to leaving the platform saves time during the handover process between supervisors. Moreover, the connected worker solution reduces the time needed to make decisions with coordination of onshore and offshore assets, improving site performance and profitability.
Petrofac is focusing on digital transformation to improve its ways of working. The company is seeking to equip its adp workforce with digital tools for increased efficiency. The partnership between Petrofac and Accenture is an ongoing one, with the potential to revolutionise the oil and gas industry. The connected worker solution developed by Accenture and Petrofac improves workforce safety, productivity, and overall performance, paving the way for a more efficient and sustainable future in the energy sector.
