National Petroleum Construction Company Increases its Use of AVEVA Plant
AVEVA announced that National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC), a global oil & gas EPC contractor, has chosen AVEVA Plant for use on its part of the Integrated Gas Development Project - Habshan Platform Offshore Facilities (IGD-HAP) for ADMA OPCO.
NPCC, whose fabrication facilities are located at Mussafah near Abu Dhabi city, is a leading Offshore EPC contractor in U.A.E., Qatar, Iran, Saudi Arabia, India and other neighbouring Gulf and Middle Eastern countries. NPCC provides its clients with total Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services in the development of offshore and onshore Oil and Gas fields.
NPCC first used AVEVA PDMS, which is part of the AVEVA Plant portfolio, on ADMA OPCO's project comprising two new well head towers (US 40/56 and US 40/24) located in the Umm Shaif field. Now, they are extending their use of PDMS on the IGD-HAP project, which consists of an offshore gas processing platform that performs gas separation and dehydration. The project also includes a remote flare tower, a 46" main gas line to Das island and interconnecting bridges between IGD-HAP and the existing Umm Shaif Super complex.
AVEVA PDMS has multi-discipline capabilities proven on many large offshore and onshore projects, from front end design through to construction engineering. NPCC Engineering utilises this state-of-the-art industry standard software in various disciplines for the execution of projects.
According to Dr Ahmad Kurdali, Engineering Director of NPCC:
"We are going to use PDMS throughout all phases of the project. After the 3D modeling and design, drawings and isometrics will be generated by PDMS. We will also be integrating the PDMS model with the structural steel detailing software to optimise the production of fabrication drawings."
Louay Dahmash, Vice President of AVEVA Middle East comments:
"We are delighted to continue working with NPCC. Once again AVEVA's unique technology has proven itself and we look forward to providing more services to NPCC in the future."
