This major design and upgrade project involved the replacement of all platform process areas and building fire and gas detection devices with addressable types.

Arion was responsible for developing a technical evaluation and providing recommendations for upgrading the aging refinery tank farm PLC network from current legacy technology to the latest supported technology and maintainable design.

Arion spearheaded the creation of technical specifications for the Balance of Plant (B.O.P.) controls, a pivotal responsibility encompassing the creation of essential deliverables such as the B.O.P. Cause & Effects, the Control Narrative, and the Control System Architecture.

The client’s current control system, the Wonderware InTouch HMI, has a tag count cap of 60K, and it is running to the limit. Arion ultimately upgraded operational efficiency, streamlined processes, improved reliability, enhanced user control, and confidence in system functionality.

Arion's client was experiencing unreliable control system operations on an offshore facility. We performed a thorough analysis of the infrastructure and code in various systems. We came up with solutions to reduce operational risks and increase reliability.

Arion integrated a production flow line into an established system for an Offshore Tie-back operation in the Gulf of Mexico. The project spanned 18 months, enhancing processing capabilities and facilitating future platform equipment growth.

Arion took on the Gulf of Mexico Management of Change Program to provide comprehensive engineering and management support, addressing the high volume of changes and challenges inherent in offshore brownfield projects.
