Xodus推出的XAMIN将油田设备完整性管理带入了新的纪元！
编译 | 惊蛰
从工程项目管理到技术安全、风险管理服务等多个方面，Xodus积累了大量的经验，通过提供完整的集成化服务，能够实现油气作业的完整性管理。该公司表示，最新推出的服务使完整性管理迈上了新的台阶，服务能力达到了新的水平。
“我们的完整性管理软件工具XAMIN（Xodus设备管理和完整性网络）自2016年开始投入测试应用。设计之初恰逢油价暴跌，主要目的是为英国北海的主要石油和天然气开发商提供高水平服务，以降成本。该工具得到了开发商的一致好评，认为XAMIN系统是适应低油价环境的海上能源开发服务。”
除了油气开采，XAMIN还可以为海上风力、潮汐发电及相关设施（如海上输电枢纽和布线）提供运营完整性管理。它可用于记录完整性异常、监控腐蚀等，并确定后续检查和维护操作期间需要采取的措施。
作为油气开采设备的生命周期管理工具， XAMIN将使开发商的收益效率显著提高。作业项目的设计、安装、测试、操作、检查、维护、完整性提高等问题都可以在单个系统中实现，控制能力和效率大幅提高。这能够减少数据丢失，提高数据访问效率和完整性问题控制能力，更重要的是新开发技术适用性判断，XAMIN可以更快地识别这些问题并分析得到原因。
XAMIN可以适应油气生产不同设备工具的具体功能和要求。Xodus能够开发实际应用程序以适应开发商的要求或油气开采过程，而不是强迫作业人员调整他们的方法以适应刚性软件。该软件围绕资产层次结构构建，可以将所有数据标记为适用组件，从而实现数据交叉引用，使数据识别更加简单。
在设备的运营阶段，XAMIN可以整理归纳所有资产设备测量数据和交叉参考数据信息，以提供易于查看、完全的设备运行完整性分析。一旦整理完成，数据可用于基准设计，降低安全阈值波动范围，增加设备使用寿命。Xodus在与实时数据并行运行模拟方面经验丰富，可以看到动态电缆或系泊链的疲劳状况，非常适合海洋油气开采作业的应用。
在某些情况下，监控实时数据中的KPI可以及早识别问题，从而在故障发生之前进行干预，从而减少停机时间。通过检查和维护，XAMIN将承载整个完整性周期，减少运营间断次数，提高效率并改善报告滞后的问题。
XAMIN运行基于风险的检查，制定设备检查计划，提供托管工作包和任务列表，同时还会提供一个“观察窗口”，可以从检查船上直接将安装结果记录到系统中。XAMIN能够捕获、审查和排列异常状况，然后提供解决问题或保持完整性的应对方法。
“得益于丰富的经验和技术，Xodus非常适合提供此类解决方案。我们的工程团队在完整性管理、设计、运营支持和安装方面经验丰富，内部软件团队与工程师一起提供高效的解决方案。我们认为这种方法对于能源市场发展是非常理想的，因为这个市场中资产设备是多种多样的，甚至某些使用的新技术仍处于测试阶段。”
“我们最近与位于Orkney的Green Marine公司建立了合作伙伴关系，XAMIN将主要用于捕获和监控离岸海洋资产的实时数据，Green Marine将提供实际的海上检查和维修服务。这样建立的一站式解决方案能够简化资产的性能，提高效率并防止停机问题的发生，该服务对于海上油气开采、风电、潮汐和波浪设备都非常有效。我们相信XAMIN将提高完整性问题的可见性，与Green Marine的合作则意味着任何异常都可以在它们成为主要问题之前进行检查和处理。”
该服务同样也非常适合新资产的管理，可再生能源部门可以从石油和天然气行业中吸取教训。在油气作业中，不能及时确定部件状况或证明设备应用寿命等数据管理不良问题，会导致油气开采停机等严重故障。如果开发商从一开始就具有集中数据管理的能力，就可以在早期识别故障，消除对故障调查的怀疑，保证油气开采连续进行。
两家公司都认为，当前油气开采中应用的完整性管理方案与开发商的预期还有较大差距，通过合作，这种状况将得到改善，油气设备的完整性、海洋资产的管理和监控水平将得到明显提高。这可以帮助运营商更好地了解其组件，降低风险和停机时间，提高收益。

Through our fully integrated offering, Xodus has vast experience in delivering complete commercial solutions for renewable projects through an extensive suite of capabilities from engineering and project management to technical safety and risk management services. Now, we are taking these capabilities to the next level.
Our integrity management software tool, XAMIN (Xodus Asset Management and Integrity Network) has been operational since 2016 and was initially develop during the recent downturn to provide high-level services for major North Sea oil and gas operators as a way of lowering costs. The tool was well received from within the sector and an opportunity was identified to adapt the XAMIN system for the lower-cost base offshore renewables industry.
XAMIN can now provide operational integrity management for offshore wind, tidal, associated structures such as offshore transmission hubs and cabling. It can be used to log integrity anomalies, monitor corrosion and identify actions to be taken during subsequent inspections and maintenance operations in the field.
As a lifecycle asset tool, we believe XAMIN will benefit offshore renewable projects which can capture design, installation, testing, operating, inspection, maintenance, improving visibility of integrity issues and decommissioning information in a single system. This will reduce data losses, increase efficiency of data access, improve visibility of integrity issues and importantly for developing technology, allow the cause of these issues to be identified quicker.
XAMIN can adapt to work with the functionality and requirements of each individual asset. The practical application can be developed to fit with the processes of the company that requests it rather than forcing engineers to adapt their methods to fit within rigid software. The software is built around an asset hierarchy which allows all data to be tagged to the appropriate component as applicable which allows cross-referencing of all data and makes identification of data much simpler.
Within the operational phase, XAMIN can collate all information being measured on the asset and cross reference data to provide a complete picture of operability and integrity that can always be viewed. Once collated, data can be used to benchmark design assumptions and then reduce safety margins or increase field life. We are experienced in running simulations in parallel with live data and see fatigue life of dynamic cables or mooring chains as a perfect fit for this type of application. Monitoring of KPIs from live data can, in some cases, allow early identification of issues allowing intervention to take place before failure reducing downtime. With inspection and maintenance, XAMIN will host the entire integrity cycle reducing interfaces, increasing efficiency and reducing reporting lags.
XAMIN hosts the risk-based inspection, schedules inspections, hosts workpacks and task lists as well as providing a portal for recording of installation results directly into the system from on board the inspection vessel. It captures, reviews and ranks the anomalies and then provides actions to resolve issues or ensure continued integrity.
At Xodus, we are ideally placed to provide this solution. Our engineering team is experienced in integrity management, design, operational support and installation with an in-house software team that works together with engineers to provide efficient solutions. We believe this approach is ideal for the developing renewables market where assets are varied and, in some cases, still in the testing phases.
We have recently formed a partnership with Orkney based Green Marine where XAMIN will be utilised to capture and monitor live data from offshore marine assets and Green Marine will provide the physical offshore inspection and repair services. The one-stop solution aims to streamline an asset’s performance, providing efficiencies and preventing downtime, targeting offshore wind, tidal and wave devices and cabling. We believe XAMIN will improve the visibility of integrity issues and the partnership with Green Marine means that any anomalies can be inspected and dealt with before they grow into a major issue.
It is also perfect for new assets and the renewables sector can learn lessons from the oil and gas industry where poor data management is causing problems when identifying component condition or proving life extension. If the operator has centralised data management from the outset, failure modes can be identified, which removes doubt from fault investigations.
Both companies believe there is a gap in the market for a truly joined up integrity maintenance service and our partnership will deliver efficiencies with significant impact for the management and monitoring of subsea marine assets. We can help operators gain a better understanding of their components and reduce risk and downtime.
