  1. Offshore Automated System Technical Presentation

  2. Offshore Automated System Introduction OAS is a server application that enables the data processor to be virtually on the vessel logging, processing and QC data, however physically onshore. All logged sensors data including multiple video streams are recorded, compressed and transferred online during inspection projects utilizing the limited internet bandwidth available offshore.

  3. Offshore Automated System Application Modules

  4. Offshore Automated System • Consists of Three Modules: • OAS Service • Vessel Admin • Office Admin

  5. Offshore Automated System • 1. OAS Service • This is the main service for the system to communicate and integrate, it is responsible for data transfer, and handshaking between vessels and office base onshore, and it doesn’t need any special setup or installation.

  6. Offshore Automated System • 2. Vessel Admin • Application used to administrate OAS system on the Vessel. • Defining Vessel. • Defining Offices. • Define data Packs preparation settings. • Setting the sensors to be available. • Responsible for data Packs preparation. • Every Time Interval: • This sets the OAS to prepare a data Pack every defined time Interval by the user (minimum 15 minutes) • Video File End: • This sets the OAS to prepare a Data Pack for every Video File Recording End. • Responsible for Sending Notifications to the Offices. • Sends a notification to the office for every data Pack prepared to be uploaded to offices.

  7. Offshore Automated System • 3. Office Admin • Application used to administrate OAS system in the Office. • Defining Office. • Defining Vessels. • Set Publisher, and Initializes it. • Responsible for data Packs Downloading and transfer. • Downloads data packs from different vessels simultaneously. • Adding completed data pack into its Mapped Pipe database. • Receives notifications from vessels for the ready data packs to be downloaded. • Responsible of mapping vessels Projects and Pipes in the office.

  8. Offshore Automated System • Connections Capacity and Bandwidth • From the above table we can see that it is now applicable to transfer the day data to the office for processing

  9. Offshore Automated System Data Flow: Between Vessels & Onshore Data Center In case of data link (128-256 kbps dedicated), the transmission capacity shall be:- 54 -108 MB/hour Or 1.3 -2.6 GB/ Day Combining 3 cameras video to ensure time synchronization of videos Applying Variable Frame Rate (VFR) reduction to 4% of original video data size Resizing Video to acceptable quality for offline eventing(11% original size). Recording Data with high compression routines without affecting quality VBR Client Access Online from several locations 3+ person (Data Processing Team) 2-3 person Data Acquisition and QC Team Synchronize Back Processed Database only (0.5% of bandwidth)

  10. Offshore Automated System Case Study

  11. Offshore Automated System Case Study: • Offshore team reduced by 50 - 66% (4 -6 persons reduced to 2 persons) • Assumptions • Mob and Demob Cost = $3,000 per man / rotation • $75 per man per day Accommodation onboard vessel • Pipeline Inspection job Scenario • Savings: $12,000 Mob and demob $72,000 Daily rates offshore $ 9,000 Accommodation offshore $93,000 monthly cost saving • Cost • Daily rates onshore at around 60% of offshore price would cost = $43,200 monthly • Productivity offshore is 70% of onshore = 43,200 * 0.7 = $30,200 • Direct Saving • Around $62,800 monthly / vessel by reduction of offshore personnel

  12. Offshore Automated System Benefits

  13. Offshore Automated System Achieved Benefits • Ensure timely production of deliverables (charts and reports) in few days from demob. • Increase overall productivity by relying on permanent team working onshore through the lifetime of the project. • Increase Quality Control on deliverables by using dedicated QC team. • Allow online detailed monitoring of the project progress internally by onshore project manager and externally by the client representative onshore. • Client access to raw data online from their offices overcoming the barrier of being on the vessel. • Ensure continuity of personnel along the life time of the project. • Less Personnel offshore means smaller vessels, less risk and less cost. • Ability to receive reports during the inspection to ensure client satisfaction and completion of scope of work before vessel demobilization. • Ability to utilize the Data Center Model: • -Permanent staff during the lifetime of the project. • - Flexibility of resizing office team based on variation of workload. • -Ability to use dedicated team for dedicated tasks to improve quality of deliverables (QC team, offline video review team, reporting, charting…etc.)
