Advance Work Packaging and Workface Planning ADAA

Abstract

Abstract: Within Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), traditional projects execution is the norm in portfolio projects, where the focus is on defining the scope of engineering, then moving on to procurement, followed by construction, pre-commissioning, and finally start-up. This leads to productivity challenges during execution due to limited Workfront availability to labour on site, ideal time due to material unavailability, late changes, and many challenges when moving away from construction to commissioning. ADAA (PDOs Advance Work Packaging and Workface planning application) project initiative was focused on implementing AWP and WFP processes and utilising technology platforms in medium, small size and portfolio projects, which helps the contractors to improve their productivity in the selected projects and obtain alignment as early as "select phase" for a construction driven process. It has several objectives to achieve, such as process improvement starting from basis of design up to final acceptance, implementing Advance Work Packaging and Workface planning application (AWP and WFP) methodologies in medium size and Portfolio projects, digitalise the AWP and WFP process within PDO and improve hands on-tool time (HOTT) by ten percentage. PDO has improved construction efficiency and progress control by providing AWP methodology with electronic workflow control, that improves construction project scalability and support quick project start-up within projects. It is built within PDO's Engineering Datawarehouse (EDW) platform which gives smooth access to documents. In addition, PDO has avoided cost by optimising in-house resources, leveraging existing contracts (right partnerships) and systems and in-house sourcing for AWP/WFP subject matter experts. Also, it has proved that it supports in improving lifecycle management which is consistent with PDO's digital twin vision by centralising and maintaining plant information, adding construction data to the full plant lifecycle management.
