About The Customer
Vista Projects is a Canada-based engineering firm that specializes in in situ heavy oil, enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and conventional oil & gas projects. The company has engineered over 400,000 barrels per day of in situ oil production. Vista Projects has long been an enthusiastic believer in the value of integrated engineering in a digital environment. However, they were facing challenges with their traditional approach to engineering, which included manual working practices and an over-reliance on Excel spreadsheets. They also believed that each department stands alone in the development of a project.
The Challenge
Vista Projects, a Canada-based engineering firm, was facing challenges with their traditional approach to engineering. Their old conventional spreadsheet approach was unreliable and prone to errors. The company was also dealing with silos of activity and functions, which made it difficult to expedite projects. They were commissioned by a major Canadian oil & gas producer to deliver the FEED for a large-scale, greenfield, steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) facility. The client wanted close collaboration with Vista to ensure that a compressed engineering schedule could be met and that data accuracy, transparency and security would be best in class.
The Solution
Vista Projects turned to AVEVA Integrated Engineering & Design for a solution. The project was the oil sands industry’s largest and most comprehensive implementation of a digital engineering environment. The AVEVA platform enabled Vista to consolidate project data from multiple sources and make it available in a common location. The team was also able to validate and compare data and check business logic. The data available in AVEVA IE&D is near-live. The platform cross-references and links all related data items the moment data is uploaded, based on the project configuration. AVEVA maintains system, subsystem, and tag relationships in line with system boundary drawings.
Operational Impact
  • The compressed engineering schedule saves hundreds of man-hours per project, and reduces handover costs.
  • Collaboration between internal teams, clients, and third parties has been enhanced.
  • Data accuracy, transparency, accessibility, and security have been improved.
Quantitative Benefit
  • There has been a 10-15% reduction in engineering man-hours during the FEED stage.
  • Projects have been completed at 16% under budget.
