Concept Design and 3D Protoyping | Decommissioning Project

Decommissioning Project

Tech27 Systems Ltd was asked to complete a concept design on a decommissioning project for a leading crude oil and natural gas producer in the North Sea. The goal was to produce a clear concept and animation simulating the topside removal using a semi-submersible along with the rock placement on sub-sea pipes.

Solution

Tech27 Systems Ltd successfully generated a detailed concept model and used simulation to test the exact removal process to ensure all operations can proceed with minimal error and impact on the surrounding environment.

As a result both the time and safety risk imposed has been reduced significantly, allowing for a cost efficient project to proceed. It also helped in planning and improved project visibility.

Skip Loading Base

Tech27 Systems Ltd was asked to complete a concept design of a skip loading base for drill cuttings storage, on a semi-submersible rig for a leading deepwater drilling contractor in the North Sea. The goal was to produce a 3D concept which showed detailed loading layouts, survey and measurement data in order to simulate the proposed skip loading base in operation..

Solution

Tech27 Systems Ltd successfully generated a detailed concept model and report’s, using simulation to test the stress of the structure and assess what changes needed to be addressed before fabrication commenced.

As a result of the simulation, both the time and safety risk imposed has been reduced significantly due to minimal fabrication work and commissioning error on site, and allowing a purchasing decision to be made with zero consequences.

Outcome

Improved work processes by:

Accelerating construction and modification processes.
Rapid and cost effective control of the specified load-bearing capacity of supporting structures as well as wear and tear.
Possibility of precise-fit, off-site assembly, using exact 3D CAD data and dimensional control.

Tanker Offloading System

Tech27 Systems Ltd was asked to develop a concept for an offshore LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) transfer system to suit a variety of operational and environmental requirements for a leading Floating Production Storage and Offloading systems (FPSOs) specialist in the North Sea. The goal was to produce a 3D concept & presentation which showed detailed simulation of the shallow water LNG terminal, equipped with a marinised conventional loading arm, in operation.

Solution

Tech27 Systems Ltd successfully modeled the concept of the LNG Terminal showing full operation animations. Different scenarios were clearly demonstrated with more emphasis on health and safety. Harsher weather conditions were simulated with larger waves and its effects on ongoing vessel operations. This increased end user confidence and decreased time to market.
