Reviews of “The Search for a Silver Bullet”

Training

Interview with the Commissioning Coach, Thomas Stuenkel"Amazing interview, this kind of interview is the one that has to get into the EPC companies. They don't understand how important the completion steps are to be successful in the project and how using a completion tool will save time and money and also will provide transparency and process safety. Additionally, identifying systems in the early stage of the project and having all system components identified will help the project with planning for the system completions and start-up." Ysabel Viloria, Pre-Commissioning / Commissioning Engineer at TechnipFMC

MasterClass Series Introduction to Foundation Training in Systems Completion and CSU with API RP 1FSC"As a former commissioning engineer I find this an excellent resource to aid best practices in asset management, start up, testing, inspection, monitoring, risk, safety and related topics. The diagrams, schematics and check sheet formats are very useful updates. Thereby allowing the practitioner to generate important workflow, develop detailed analyses and a deep assessment into related design, productivity, operational HSE and quality assurance. Overall very readable and a great addition to anyone’s library." Dr Binder Singh PhD CEng PE FIMechE FIMarEST

Chevron’s Jack & St Malo offshore project

Case Studies

One of the genuine success stories we took an active and central role in was Chevron’s Jack & St Malo offshore project in the Gulf of Mexico, which came on-stream in 2016. Zenator was the control tool in place from Design until Final Handover to Operations. It is one of only a handful of projects where Zenator was used (by Chevron-trained specialists, not FGL Power Users or Super Users) in text book fashion to exercise full control over all Systems Completions activities, through Mechanical Completions, Pre-Commissioning, Dynamic Commissioning and Start-Up. With so many moving parts and major risks to be mitigated at every turn, not least executing in a water-depth of nearly 1.5 miles to the seabed, JSM is rightly being hailed by Chevron as one of their great successes.…
