Requirements to the information support system of the life cycle of offshore oil and gas facilities
The paper considers the implementation of the life cycle stages of offshore oil and gas facilities in the context of possibilities of modern information technologies. Examples of software products for support of the life cycle of offshore oil and gas facilities are given. The basic requirements to the information model of the life cycle support for the main stages such as design and survey work, construction-installation work, the stages of operation and utilization, allowing the participants to effectively interact while implementing the project, to organize and formalize a set of data on the object and the existing information flows, to monitor conflicts and control the progress of work are presented. The information modeling application provides timeliness, validity and minimization of errors of engineering and management decisions. The proposals discussed in the article are built in accordance with the experience of implementing large Projects and can be used as a methodological guide for specialists of different managerial levels, as an analytical tool for system engineers, integrators, conducting modernization and optimization of production processes using integrated corporate information systems.
