The New 3D Layout for Oil & Gas Offshore Projects


Book Description

When working on oil and gas offshore projects the 3D layout is one of the most essential parts according to Jacques Daubian, author and engineering and construction specialist. The objective of the company during the engineering and construction phases is to deliver the project on time and safely to the field operators and to ensure everything will be maintained safely, during the life of the offshore operations. All major oil and gas companies and contractors use 3D software for the design, layout, drawings and procurement of their projects. Each 3D model must be perfect during the detail engineering to be able to extract all the information necessary for the construction. The layout of offshore oil and gas projects start day one of the basic engineering and everything must be fixed before the completion of 50% of your detail engineering to avoid any engineering problems and delay during construction.The layout using 3D software is today an obligation. Jacques Daubian latest book The New 3D Layout for Oil & Gas Offshore Projects will aid projects struggling with their 3D model layouts as well as those simply looking for a new and more effective approach. The book includes a checklist, listed by discipline, of what must be done to ensure the success of your project. Jacques Daubian draws on personal experience within the engineering and construction industry to provide an informative and helpful guide. For 12 years Jacques Daubian examined the huge degradation of the layout aspect of offshore projects and has since re-evaluated this, as demonstrated in The New 3D Layout for Oil & Gas Offshore Projects.




3D Model Reviews Using NavisWorks for Oil & Gas Offshore Projects


Book Description

Drawing on his own experience within the engineering and construction field, Jacques Daubian presents 3D Model Reviews Using Navisworks for Oil & Gas Offshore Projects; an informative and educational read for professionals working with 3D models and participating in 3D model reviews. The 3D model reviews are the particular moments during the project where the contractor and his client sit together to review the 3D model. This step is repeated a minimum of three times during a project and is imperative to the success of any oil and gas offshore project. It allows time for the client to make comments on the project thus far. Both the contractor and the client must spend time reviewing the 3D model and the participants must be qualified and efficient. 3D Model Reviews Using Navisworks for Oil & Gas Offshore Projects highlights the importance of the 3D model review stage in any project, reminding the reader to: – Avoid any delay during the construction – 90% of shop drawings will be extracted from your 3D model, for this reason the 3D model must be perfect – The cost of construction is a lot more important than the cost of engineering. You must spend time reviewing the 3D model – The goal is to safely deliver the project to the client field operation team. Jacques Daubian also draws on his experience to demonstrate why the software Navisworks will assist projects in having quick and efficient 3D model reviews, allowing for accurate comments and feedback. Jacques also explains how NavisWorks allows for the easy creation of graphic and text comments. This book is not for the general reader; it is written to inform and educate those working within the engineering industry, specifically those using 3D models, operating the 3D software and those participating in the reviews.




An Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design


Book Description

An Applied Guide to Process and Plant Design, 2nd edition, is a guide to process plant design for both students and professional engineers. The book covers plant layout and the use of spreadsheet programs and key drawings produced by professional engineers as aids to design; subjects that are usually learned on the job rather than in education. You will learn how to produce smarter plant design through the use of computer tools, including Excel and AutoCAD, "What If Analysis, statistical tools, and Visual Basic for more complex problems. The book also includes a wealth of selection tables, covering the key aspects of professional plant design which engineering students and early-career engineers tend to find most challenging. Professor Moran draws on over 20 years' experience in process design to create an essential foundational book ideal for those who are new to process design, compliant with both professional practice and the IChemE degree accreditation guidelines. - Includes new and expanded content, including illustrative case studies and practical examples - Explains how to deliver a process design that meets both business and safety criteria - Covers plant layout and the use of spreadsheet programs and key drawings as aids to design - Includes a comprehensive set of selection tables, covering aspects of professional plant design which early-career designers find most challenging
