AMEC Paragon's capabilities for onshore
and marine pipeline projects include:
-
Project management
-
Database-driven pipeline mapping and
geographic information system (GIS) applications
-
Environmental and permitting support
-
Modeling and flow assurance
-
Corrosion detection and control
-
Pipeline integrity management
-
Operations and maintenance
-
Design of associated pumping, metering,
and compression facilities
|
 |
With Enroute, AMEC Paragon's proprietary, database-driven
automated work process for pipeline design,
- All deliverables are generated from a single database
- Data is always accessible both locally and remotely
(via the Web)
- Alignment sheets are produced automatically
- Procurement and expediting databases are populated
automatically
- Project data is shared from a centralized repository
in real time across all applications - CAD, GIS, PDA,
Web
- When a change is made in the database, it is "red-flagged"
on all affected documents
- The latest revision of each engineering deliverable
is available via a Web-enabled electronic document management
system, with older versions also available for historical
tracking
- All documents are searchable and cross-referenced by
descriptive "metadata" such as purchase order
number, tag number, line number, etc.
- All forms of data are incorporated, including government
datasets, commercial datasets, land ownership records,
satellite imagery, aerial photography, digital elevation
models, laser scan data, and survey data
|
The end result:
- Reduced design and mapping time
- Single-point data entry for all associated deliverables,
reducing human error and rework
- Quick evaluation of a wide array of "what-if"
scenarios to arrive at best route option
- Accommodation of route adjustments without requiring
engineering rework and associated delays
- Clear documentation of route selection process and alternative
analysis
- Easy transfer of design data to operations databases
for ongoing use

| Signature Project: |
Mardi Gras Transportation System |
| Customer: |
BP |
| Location: |
Gulf of Mexico area, onshore and
offshore |
| Description: |
Onshore and offshore shelf pipelines,
facilities, and tie-ins to transport oil and gas from deepwater
developments to markets in Louisiana |
| Scope of Work: |
In addition to providing engineering
and procurement for the onshore and offshore shelf portions
of the project, AMEC Paragon provided system-wide procurement;
cost control; schedule control; health, safety and environmental
(HSE); document control; quality assurance/quality control
(QA/QC); human factors engineering (HFE); and hydraulic modeling
services. |

Benefits Realized:
- Reduced survey expenditures by accurately utilizing
available data
- Reduced material costs through automatic calculation
of 3D pipe lengths
- Avoided expensive field adjustments by accurately reflecting
all field conditions
- Accelerated construction survey time by providing the
contractors with GIS centerline data
- Identified and avoided all environmentally sensitive
areas
- Quickly secured all permits by providing tangible alternative
route analysis based on calculated impacts
- Connected and aligned all involved parties by making
all data available on a secured Website
- Minimized the contractor's stringing time by automatically
generating a pipe list my mile-post
- Project data readily accepted into customer's operational
GIS system to aid in ongoing operations
