General:-

• Powerful visual interface with simple drag and drop techniques;

• Deterministic and stochastic techniques;

• Series, Active Redundancy (Full, Partial or Conditional) and Standby Redundancy (Identical units or Different units);

• Control of the sizing of parallel units as a function of time (i.e. varying levels of effective redundancy);

• Load Sharing;

• Production Availability i.e. throughput estimation;

• System or component importance ranking; It enables the user to identify the systems or components that are the main contributors to Production Unavailability, Total Down Time, Cost, Safety Criticality, Asset Criticality and Environmental Criticality;

• Modelling complex systems using multiple layers of RBDs and PFDs.

Maintenance modelling:-

• Unscheduled, Delayed (e.g. seasonal);

• Maintenance duration and restoration factors;

• Maintenance policies;

• Planned;

• Condition monitoring;

• Opportunity maintenance;

• Services and utilities;

• Job priority;

• Spare parts pools.

Operating Policies

• Makeup (by boosting);

• prioritised (of product exporting);

• monitoring (of production movements);

• Deferred Production;

• Flaring Operations;

• Load Shedding;

• Line packing and

Production Phasing and Transient Data:-

• Control of phasing-in and phasing-out of any part of the logic network;

• Control of the production capacity within any part of the network;

• Control of contract return period (for sales quota make-up) as a function of time;

• Control of branch boost factors as a function of time;

• Control of buffer storage volumes as a function of time;

• Control of export scheduling criteria as a function of time;

• Control of maximum flow in a branch as a function of time;

Life Cycle Scenarios

• Economic Modelling aspects:- CAPEX, OPEX, NPV etc.;

• Performance and asset optimisation.

Logistics

• FPSO and Subsea;

• Tanker Export Modelling:- Transport mode (sea, road or rail), Operations Mode (define whether dealing with export or import), Berth data (dual tanker loading operations);

• Number of shuttle tankers in the fleet, Carrying capacity, Range, Early and Late arrivals etc.;

• Iconic animation (moving ships, etc.);

• Operations details of shuttles;

• Maintenance Vessel;

• Weather Module:- Location (reference to geographical location of shuttle loading facility)

• Seasons (default given for Northern Hemisphere)

• Weather Data Matrix (comprising cumulative probability of nominated wave heights per season and the associated average of occurrence of this range)

Other modelling details

• Interactive construction of Network, Fault Tree or Event Tree diagrams;

• Multiple sources and production profiles;

• Sub-system or pagination facilities for large Network, Fault Tree and Event Tree diagrams;

• Import and export facilities;

• Interface with Excel spreadsheets. Effectively allowing the user to export and import data to and from other spreadsheets;

• Multiple Sales Quotas;

• General failure behaviour of an equipment i.e. bathtub curve.
