BP Exploration - iPlanMaintain

BP Exploration sought to improve maintenance efficiency and cost control at the Sullom Voe Terminal, one of Europe’s largest and most critical oil terminals located in the Shetland Islands. The company needed a solution that could enhance maintenance workflows while reducing operational dependencies on third-party providers.

The Brief

BP required a maintenance management system capable of streamlining the creation, approval, and distribution of work packs for large, multidisciplinary teams. The goal was to standardise these processes to ensure consistent quality and to reduce costs by minimising reliance on external data production services.

BP also sought a solution that would standardise maintenance practices across their operations, ensuring consistency in quality and compliance with industry standards. With the complexity of managing a major oil terminal like Sullom Voe, having a reliable system to coordinate planning, execution, and data management was essential to maintaining safety, minimising downtime, and controlling costs.

The Solution

iPlanMaintain was introduced at BP Exploration to streamline the creation of work packs across the various stages of their maintenance program. This provided BP with a higher level of control in planning and execution, particularly across large, multidisciplinary teams. The system also offered a significant cost advantage by reducing the company's reliance on third parties to mass-produce engineering data, enabling more efficient in-house data management.

By adopting iPlanMaintain, BP gained an intuitive and cost-effective maintenance management solution. It not only improved operational transparency but also fostered greater collaboration across teams, leading to increased efficiency and meaningful cost reductions for the business.

BP’s long-standing presence at the Sullom Voe Terminal came to an end in 2017 when EnQuest officially took over the site, marking the conclusion of BP’s intervention project at the terminal.

"iPlan improved our cost effectiveness by reducing our dependence on third parties to help us mass produce our engineering data."
