There is a relentless global push to expand plants needed to process oil and gas. This places even greater demands on the design and construction of larger, more complex oil and gas plants worldwide. The importance of bringing new refineries and gas processing plants online more quickly is a major challenge to both plant owners and engineering companies, necessitating continued reductions in project schedules while extending the level of design quality.

Project Management

Professional Project Management for Lower TCOs

The latest 3D modeling and visualization applications continue to support all key aspects of project execution for oil and gas industry, from conceptual plant design through detailed design and construction, into plant operations and maintenance. Some of the world’s leading EPC companies involved in the design and construction of oil and gas facilities have used plant design software for the past two decades.

How to Use of Integrated IT systems in EPC

Today, one cannot think of project management succeeding without the use of information technology (IT). The advent of internet in 1990’s has helped blossom it’s role from only being a tool for scheduling applications for the project manager, to creating project plans for sub-projects and disciplines, and thereby enabling macrolevel planning.

Today, project management is handicapped without IT. Typical project management software helps to save a copy of the original plan, as well as the adjustments made to that plan. Project closure involves resolving outstanding issues, identifying what worked well, and also problems and areas for future improvements. A typical project management software is shown in figure 2.

The mistakes committed during each project should be a lesson for every project manager to learn. Certain type of software enables detailed project analysis during project execution, providing the ability to forecast trends, isolate problems, and show estimated cost and time for completion. The software needs to be customized as per requirement and there is also a need for web enabled applications which help in maintenance of a common browser and result in quicker and effective communication.
