Optioneering, Project Delivery, and Asset Information Management: Reducing Risks to Deliver Safer, Better Performing Assets
Owners in the oil and gas industry can derive great value and achieve higher ROI from workflows centered on the management of engineering content created during design and construction for use in operating and maintaining the asset. As the leader in offshore structural analysis and design, Bentley is bringing together its solutions for engineering content management, advanced engineering simulation and analysis, and asset performance management to deliver a game‐changing approach to structural integrity management. Learn how Bentley’s unique approach to interoperability using open industry standards and strong partnerships with other vendors helps deliver pragmatic, open solutions for asset information management, construction modeling, and reality modeling. This approach reduces project risks, lowers costs, and enables a common platform for improving safety and efficiency.
John Sanins, Senior Director, Solutions Management, Bentley Systems
Project Delivery : Visibility into the Path of Construction
13:45
14:30
Landmark research by Independent Project Analysis, Inc. shows that 65 percent of industrial megaprojects fail. For owner‐operators, indicators of project failure in terms of cost overruns and schedule slippage usually come as a complete surprise – due to a lack of visibility into the path of construction and absence of real‐time awareness of work‐in‐progress construction status. Without that visibility, by the time issues are realized it is too late to intervene and resolve them. Advances in work packaging and workface planning, however, are improving construction efficiency. Moreover, they are providing owner‐operators greater insight into project status, eliminating surprises and improving outcomes. In this session learn how Bentley’s ProjectWise Construction Work Package Server is providing that visibility to owners on the most challenging oil and gas projects a success.
Iwan Pribadi, Services Manager, Bentley Systems
Asset Integrity Modeling : The Future of Structural Integrity Management
14:45
15:30
An effective Structural Integrity Management system is one of the most important barriers against catastrophic failure in complex industrial facilities. As critical energy infrastructure grows ever larger and more complex, often operating in harsh and ecologically sensitive environments, and as both physical and financial operating margins are squeezed, structural integrity is literally being stretched to the breaking point. For leading owner‐operators, taking responsibility for their integrity management is a top priority. For example, Shell’s mission statement"Our Assets Are Safe ‐ we know it and we can show it" drives what is arguably the most sophisticated process safety and integrity management system of any operator in the world. This presentation discusses the overall process of integrity management, and looks at the software components and technologies involved, the information flows and the inherent challenges. Bentley’s vision for this area will also be presented.

Leveraging Reality Modeling Data in Engineering
With the rapid demand on designers for infrastructure expansion, management needs to make quick, yet better‐informed design decisions for long‐term impact and ROI. Using point‐cloud data, visualization tools and reality modeling helps create intelligent designs that leverage data based on the context of real‐world surroundings that enable superior designs and confident decisions. • Enable data reuse to increase ROI on large datasets.
• Create better designs faster with accurate data by understanding the reality of what is in the field.
• Decrease the risk of mismanagement and misuse of data to maintain document integrity.
MSV Rao, Product Manaager, Bentley Systems
Integrating and Preparing Reality Modeling Data
13:45
14:30
When it comes to designing dependable infrastructure in the context of an existing environment, we need to rely on reality modeling data such as point clouds and 3D images. The raw data acquired by laser scanners and LiDAR sensors are frequently polluted with noise and benefit from being completed with some richer information such as color or classification. Often, massive point cloud files are too cumbersome and time consuming to work with. But they don’t have to be. This session will help you:
• Easily integrate and enrich reality modeling data.
• Easily create impressive visualizations and animations from your point‐cloud data.
• Save time and reduce data risk.
Beh Boonheng, Technical Manager, Bentley Systems
Utilizing Information Across the Enterprise

15:30
Maintaining reliable geospatial data associated with precise locations is key for the stakeholders in your workflow and for decision making. Bentley’s broad geospatial portfolio allows users to create, update, publish, analyze, and share 2D/3D maps across disciplines to better manage infrastructure. Bentley Map provides collaboration between geospatial and engineering standards to better support multi‐discipline project teams. The CAD/GIS gap is a thing of the past!
See how both CAD and GIS users have benefited from Bentley’s broad geospatial portfolio.
• Remove the gap between CAD and GIS workflows to improve ROI, save time, and improve collaboration. • Connect and reuse various types of data that already exist throughout the project lifecycle to maximize investment. • Bentley Map’s advanced interoperability with many data types to be leveraged throughout the entire project lifecycle.

16:15
Unifying field and office workflows reduces errors and improves project and service outcomes. But it’s not about connecting to your desktop from the field, it’s about connecting an enterprise to thousands of mobile workers and updating large datasets quickly. Accessing valuable information in the field and sending redlines back to the office improves the efficiency of your project workflow and the accuracy of your CAD, GIS, or business data. • Enable field workers to quickly access large, up‐to‐date geospatial and business data via their tablets.
• Secure a single source of truth in the field, with or without network connectivity.
• Improve interdepartmental collaboration by leveraging i‐models.
