Xodus推出的XAMIN將油田設備完整性管理帶入了新的紀元！
編譯 | 驚蟄
從工程項目管理到技術安全、風險管理服務等多個方面，Xodus積累了大量的經驗，通過提供完整的集成化服務，能夠實現油氣作業的完整性管理。該公司表示，最新推出的服務使完整性管理邁上了新的臺階，服務能力達到了新的水平。
“我們的完整性管理軟件工具XAMIN（Xodus設備管理和完整性網絡）自2016年開始投入測試應用。設計之初恰逢油價暴跌，主要目的是為英國北海的主要石油和天然氣開發商提供高水平服務，以降成本。該工具得到了開發商的一致好評，認為XAMIN系統是適應低油價環境的海上能源開發服務?！?/span>
除了油氣開采，XAMIN還可以為海上風力、潮汐發電及相關設施（如海上輸電樞紐和布線）提供運營完整性管理。它可用于記錄完整性異常、監控腐蝕等，并確定后續檢查和維護操作期間需要采取的措施。
作為油氣開采設備的生命周期管理工具， XAMIN將使開發商的收益效率顯著提高。作業項目的設計、安裝、測試、操作、檢查、維護、完整性提高等問題都可以在單個系統中實現，控制能力和效率大幅提高。這能夠減少數據丟失，提高數據訪問效率和完整性問題控制能力，更重要的是新開發技術適用性判斷，XAMIN可以更快地識別這些問題并分析得到原因。
XAMIN可以適應油氣生產不同設備工具的具體功能和要求。Xodus能夠開發實際應用程序以適應開發商的要求或油氣開采過程，而不是強迫作業人員調整他們的方法以適應剛性軟件。該軟件圍繞資產層次結構構建，可以將所有數據標記為適用組件，從而實現數據交叉引用，使數據識別更加簡單。
在設備的運營階段，XAMIN可以整理歸納所有資產設備測量數據和交叉參考數據信息，以提供易于查看、完全的設備運行完整性分析。一旦整理完成，數據可用于基準設計，降低安全閾值波動范圍，增加設備使用壽命。Xodus在與實時數據并行運行模擬方面經驗豐富，可以看到動態電纜或系泊鏈的疲勞狀況，非常適合海洋油氣開采作業的應用。
在某些情況下，監控實時數據中的KPI可以及早識別問題，從而在故障發生之前進行干預，從而減少停機時間。通過檢查和維護，XAMIN將承載整個完整性周期，減少運營間斷次數，提高效率并改善報告滯后的問題。
XAMIN運行基于風險的檢查，制定設備檢查計劃，提供托管工作包和任務列表，同時還會提供一個“觀察窗口”，可以從檢查船上直接將安裝結果記錄到系統中。XAMIN能夠捕獲、審查和排列異常狀況，然后提供解決問題或保持完整性的應對方法。
“得益于豐富的經驗和技術，Xodus非常適合提供此類解決方案。我們的工程團隊在完整性管理、設計、運營支持和安裝方面經驗豐富，內部軟件團隊與工程師一起提供高效的解決方案。我們認為這種方法對于能源市場發展是非常理想的，因為這個市場中資產設備是多種多樣的，甚至某些使用的新技術仍處于測試階段?！?/span>
“我們最近與位于Orkney的Green Marine公司建立了合作伙伴關系，XAMIN將主要用于捕獲和監控離岸海洋資產的實時數據，Green Marine將提供實際的海上檢查和維修服務。這樣建立的一站式解決方案能夠簡化資產的性能，提高效率并防止停機問題的發生，該服務對于海上油氣開采、風電、潮汐和波浪設備都非常有效。我們相信XAMIN將提高完整性問題的可見性，與Green Marine的合作則意味著任何異常都可以在它們成為主要問題之前進行檢查和處理?！?/span>
該服務同樣也非常適合新資產的管理，可再生能源部門可以從石油和天然氣行業中吸取教訓。在油氣作業中，不能及時確定部件狀況或證明設備應用壽命等數據管理不良問題，會導致油氣開采停機等嚴重故障。如果開發商從一開始就具有集中數據管理的能力，就可以在早期識別故障，消除對故障調查的懷疑，保證油氣開采連續進行。
兩家公司都認為，當前油氣開采中應用的完整性管理方案與開發商的預期還有較大差距，通過合作，這種狀況將得到改善，油氣設備的完整性、海洋資產的管理和監控水平將得到明顯提高。這可以幫助運營商更好地了解其組件，降低風險和停機時間，提高收益。

Through our fully integrated offering, Xodus has vast experience in delivering complete commercial solutions for renewable projects through an extensive suite of capabilities from engineering and project management to technical safety and risk management services. Now, we are taking these capabilities to the next level.
Our integrity management software tool, XAMIN (Xodus Asset Management and Integrity Network) has been operational since 2016 and was initially develop during the recent downturn to provide high-level services for major North Sea oil and gas operators as a way of lowering costs. The tool was well received from within the sector and an opportunity was identified to adapt the XAMIN system for the lower-cost base offshore renewables industry.
XAMIN can now provide operational integrity management for offshore wind, tidal, associated structures such as offshore transmission hubs and cabling. It can be used to log integrity anomalies, monitor corrosion and identify actions to be taken during subsequent inspections and maintenance operations in the field.
As a lifecycle asset tool, we believe XAMIN will benefit offshore renewable projects which can capture design, installation, testing, operating, inspection, maintenance, improving visibility of integrity issues and decommissioning information in a single system. This will reduce data losses, increase efficiency of data access, improve visibility of integrity issues and importantly for developing technology, allow the cause of these issues to be identified quicker.
XAMIN can adapt to work with the functionality and requirements of each individual asset. The practical application can be developed to fit with the processes of the company that requests it rather than forcing engineers to adapt their methods to fit within rigid software. The software is built around an asset hierarchy which allows all data to be tagged to the appropriate component as applicable which allows cross-referencing of all data and makes identification of data much simpler.
Within the operational phase, XAMIN can collate all information being measured on the asset and cross reference data to provide a complete picture of operability and integrity that can always be viewed. Once collated, data can be used to benchmark design assumptions and then reduce safety margins or increase field life. We are experienced in running simulations in parallel with live data and see fatigue life of dynamic cables or mooring chains as a perfect fit for this type of application. Monitoring of KPIs from live data can, in some cases, allow early identification of issues allowing intervention to take place before failure reducing downtime. With inspection and maintenance, XAMIN will host the entire integrity cycle reducing interfaces, increasing efficiency and reducing reporting lags.
XAMIN hosts the risk-based inspection, schedules inspections, hosts workpacks and task lists as well as providing a portal for recording of installation results directly into the system from on board the inspection vessel. It captures, reviews and ranks the anomalies and then provides actions to resolve issues or ensure continued integrity.
At Xodus, we are ideally placed to provide this solution. Our engineering team is experienced in integrity management, design, operational support and installation with an in-house software team that works together with engineers to provide efficient solutions. We believe this approach is ideal for the developing renewables market where assets are varied and, in some cases, still in the testing phases.
We have recently formed a partnership with Orkney based Green Marine where XAMIN will be utilised to capture and monitor live data from offshore marine assets and Green Marine will provide the physical offshore inspection and repair services. The one-stop solution aims to streamline an asset’s performance, providing efficiencies and preventing downtime, targeting offshore wind, tidal and wave devices and cabling. We believe XAMIN will improve the visibility of integrity issues and the partnership with Green Marine means that any anomalies can be inspected and dealt with before they grow into a major issue.
It is also perfect for new assets and the renewables sector can learn lessons from the oil and gas industry where poor data management is causing problems when identifying component condition or proving life extension. If the operator has centralised data management from the outset, failure modes can be identified, which removes doubt from fault investigations.
Both companies believe there is a gap in the market for a truly joined up integrity maintenance service and our partnership will deliver efficiencies with significant impact for the management and monitoring of subsea marine assets. We can help operators gain a better understanding of their components and reduce risk and downtime.
