4. Xvision contributes with knowhow and
technology in some of the most advanced
offshore and subsea oil & gas projects around
the world, by providing visualization for better
understanding, communication and decision-
making.
16. DELIVERABLES
- in the Aker Reliance Project
Field layouts, Stack-up posters, Handbooks, Interactive
presentations, Project presentation, as-built doc and animation
films for training
17. VISUAL ENGINEERING
- huge cost saving potential
Errors identified and corrected in the early stages of the project:
• ROV access
• Collision detection
• Equipment Interfaces
• Etc.
Cheaper to uncover errors with Visual Engineering and visualization,
than in fabrication or when trying to install it offshore…
18. VISUAL ENGINEERING
- from feed to engineering, to fabrication,
installation and operations
• Allowing fact-based “What-if?” discussions at every stage.
• Encourages to participation and discussions, helping
finding the best solutions.
• Result? Better decision-making throughout the project’s life
cycle
19. VISUAL ENGINEERING
- in practice
Most customers choose to sign an NDA and a call-off contract, as it gives the project
flexibility and low-threshold to use Visual Engineering when required.
Xvision rep. participates in product or project meetings, visualizing:
• Status
• Progress
• Suggestions
• Decisions
Xvision leverages its experience, 3D model database and technical understanding, The
focus is to communicate and get agreement across language, cultural and discipline
boundaries. Visuals are built to suit the forum either technical or more commercial
and the level of detail necessary to gain agreement.
21. VISUAL ENGINEERING
- support for Lundin Norway
CASE
• Find optimal positioning for the jack-up rig
• Goal: the rig to be moved only once for reaching all 4
well heads
27. «The Field Activity Planner is the next
generation visualization tool for project
planning. It integrates with the planning
tool we use every day»
