BP Exploration required a system to complement their maintenance processes and to facilitate rapid work pack generation, approval and delivery – they chose iPlan to be that system. The Sullom Voe Terminal is located at the northern end of the largest of the Shetland Islands. It is one of the largest oil terminals in Europe.

iPlan will initially help BP Exploration to create work packs for the various stages of our maintenance program, giving us a high degree of control for work pack creation across large multidiscipline teams. At the same time, iPlan will improve our cost effectiveness, by reducing our dependence on third parties to help us mass produce our engineering data. iPlan will provide BP Exploration with an intuitive and cost effective maintenance management solution, enabling their large multidiscipline teams to have a more cohesive, transparent working relationship, thus resulting in increased efficiency and cost reduction for the oil giant.

A changing of the guard at Sullom Voe has taken place, with EnQuest officially taking over the terminal – ending BP’s long-standing association with the site in 2017 and the intervention project.
