Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a leading infrastructure engineering software company, announced today that bp, a multinational oil and gas company, has selected Bentley’s AssetWise Asset Lifecycle Information Management (ALIM) and AssetWise Reliability (AR) solutions as the standard for managing engineering information and ensuring global asset integrity management.
In 2019, bp chose Bentley to provide its state-of-the-art AssetWise ALIM solution as a Central Information Store (CIS) to manage change in a controlled manner, ensuring the maintenance of validated information required for global projects and operations. This includes all documents, tags, associated metadata, and 3D model visualization. Building on this successful implementation, bp will now standardize AssetWise ALIM across all projects, production, and manufacturing assets.
AssetWise ALIM enables a seamless migration of critical information throughout the asset lifecycle, supporting the capital project process through to ongoing operations in a more efficient manner. By adopting AssetWise ALIM as the standard information management solution, bp aims to enhance the safety and reliability of its projects and operations.
In addition to AssetWise ALIM, bp has also implemented Bentley’s AssetWise Reliability solution on the Clair Asset in the North Sea. AssetWise Reliability will help optimize inspections, minimize maintenance costs, increase availability, and enhance safety and risk management. The successful deployment on the Clair Asset has led to a global implementation across eight regions.
Alan Kiraly, Senior Vice President of Industry Solutions at Bentley Systems, expressed his confidence in the partnership with bp, stating, “Bentley has a long-standing relationship with bp, providing AssetWise ALIM as bp’s Central Information Store (CIS) to manage and maintain information needed for projects and operations, across the world. The integration of AssetWise Reliability with the CIS, in a cloud-based environment, to support bp’s Asset Integrity processes, enables Bentley to deliver standardized digital workflows and deliver significant benefits to bp.”
Rob Kelly, Vice President of Digital Asset Management at bp, highlighted the advantages of expanding the use of Bentley’s AssetWise portfolio of solutions. He emphasized the accuracy of information through effective change control, enabling bp to make trusted decisions in both projects and operations.
