LAS VEGAS, June 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/-- Yanbu Aramco Sinopec
Refinery Company Ltd. (YASREF) has recently chosen
Intergraph® SmartPlant® Enterprise
solutions to optimize the operation and maintenance of its
full-conversion refinery. The project is a significant undertaking
and involves the construction and operation of a 400,000-barrel per
day (bpd) integrated petroleum refinery in Saudi Arabia.
YASREF initially used several solutions from the SmartPlant
suite, including SmartPlant Instrumentation, SmartPlant P&ID
and PDS®. YASREF later implemented the Engineering
Document Management System (EDMS) based on SmartPlant Foundation to
achieve complete integration. YASREF has achieved fully integrated
plant design in order to provide fast, intuitive and role-based
access to help manage the most accurate engineering documents.
SmartPlant Foundation has provided all required features to
manage engineering documents including storage of electronic
engineering documents, methods to search and download/upload
documents, and full Management of Change (MOC).
Abdulhannan M. Karim, senior engineer at YASREF, said, "For
YASREF, we executed the implementation of the EDMS in its best
possible methodology. We divided the implementation into phases to
optimize the resources, facilitate the required data at various
times of pre-commissioning, commissioning, start-up and operations,
and to achieve best quality of engineering data in a very
cost-effective manner.
"YASREF EDMS has set records in the industry with regards to
EDMS implementation time and data gathering, validating and
auditing time thanks to the implementation of Intergraph solutions
– it will be considered a role model in the general industry and
within Saudi Aramco in particular. Our implantation team has not
only put huge efforts in to gathering accurate data but has also
worked hard to validate and audit the data prior to final handovers
by EPCs. The coordination with EPCs has helped us to quickly create
and maintain reliable data assets, supporting our reputation as a
pioneer in Engineering Document Management."
Gerhard Sallinger, Intergraph
Process, Power & Marine president, said, "The YASREF Refinery
Project is a massive undertaking in the Middle East, and we could not be more pleased
that it has chosen Intergraph solutions to optimize plant
performance. The SmartPlant suite of products will serve YASREF and
its partners well."
