An oil and gas upstream company in Malaysia conducts Upstream activities in two major upstream locations in the South China Sea: off the coast of Sabah (Kinabalu field) and between Malaysia and Vietnam (PM-3).
In 2017, a new crude extraction platform was installed on the Kinabalu field, with the redevelopment project connecting the new platform to existing facilities. This redevelopment included the installation of a bridge between an integrated drilling/production platform (KNDP-A) and a wellhead platform (KNDW-D).
On completion of this redevelopment project, the upstream company engaged PetroEDGE to complete two major writing projects:
- Incorporating two separate Platform Start-up and Operating Manuals (OPM) for the two platforms into a single-volume OPM.
- Draft, review and produce the Close-Out Report for the installation of the abovementioned bridge.
The OPM project required PetroEDGE to:
- Liaise with the global upstream company’s offshore staff to conduct a technical review of the existing OPM
- Convert the existing OPM into a new company tailored format
- Organise the new single-volume OPM to allow for ease of access at the workplace
- Edit the content for clarity of purpose and readability
- On acceptance of all content changes, proofread the final version of the OPM for final production
- Produce two full-colour bound hard copies of the OPM
To produce the Close-Out Report PetroEDGE was contracted to:
- Liaise with the global upstream company’s engineers to fully understand the aims of the report
- Review and summarise Contractor close-out reports
- Design a template for the Close-Out Report
- Draft and redraft the Close-Out Report following technical reviews from the company’s management
- On acceptance of all content changes, proofread the final version the report and provide in two soft-copy formats
