AMEC Paragon provides project management, engineering, procurement, inspection, construction management, hook-up/commissioning, and operations and maintenance services for:
  • Onshore oil and gas production and treating facilities
  • Pump, compressor and meter stations
  • Shallow- and deepwater platforms
  • Floating facilities
  • Subsea systems

With Aries, AMEC Paragon's proprietary, database-driven automated work process for facility design,

  • All design work is documented within a centralized database, from which all drawings and deliverables are developed
  • A robust 3D model is developed, including pipe, pipe supports, cable trays, controls, and proper coping of structural joints
  • Smart piping and instrument diagrams (P&IDs) are linked to the 3D model, engineering deliverables and procurement and expediting databases
  • A consistency check between P&IDs, procurement data and the 3D model is made automatically
  • Material lists are automatically updated
  • When a change is made in the database, it is "red-flagged" on all affected documents
  • The latest revision of each engineering deliverable is available via a Web-enabled electronic document management system, with older versions also available for historical tracking
  • All documents are searchable and cross-referenced by descriptive "metadata" such as purchase order number, tag number, line number, etc.
  • All data can be shared securely over the Internet

The end result:

  • Reduced engineering time
  • Single-point data entry for all associated deliverables, reducing human error and rework
  • Real-time response to changes
  • Control of bulk material quantities throughout the project life cycle
  • Significant reductions in fabrication rework
  • Assurance of pre-fabrication accuracy during installation
  • Easier commissioning, start-up and operations training
Signature Project: Tarantula Deck and Topsides
Customer: Anadarko
Location: South Timbalier 308, Gulf of Mexico
Design Capacity: 30,000 barrels/day oil, 30,000 barrels/day water, 100 million standard cubic feet/day gas

Benefits Realized:

  • All spools shop-fabricated point-to-point (no field welds), with 99.5% success.
  • Model used for fabrication sequencing.
  • Less than 2% change orders in fabrication.
  • Almost no excess materials in fabrication yard. An example project executed by others at the same time had $2 million worth of excess materials.
