MOSCOW (MRC) -- Intergraph SmartPlant for Owner Operators technology is now used by Gazprom Neft, one of the largest oil companies in Russia, to integrate engineering data management systems during major construction projects and the operation of oil refining sites, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.
A pilot project for integrating SmartPlant is currently being implemented. In 2015, Intergraph Process, Power & Marine, together with Gazprom Neft specialists, implemented the first part of the pilot project called "Engineering data management system for oil refining sites."
This engineering information database, based on Intergraph SmartPlant technology, will allow reduction of the data and document transfer management costs during the entire life cycle of oil refining assets. The benefits of the system include the ability to reduce time spent on searching for information, enhanced security and an ability to centralize engineering project data to provide access to all employees involved. Later, the database will support timely and informed decision making processes at Gazprom Neft’s industrial sites.
We remind that, as MRC informed previously, in late 2012, Gazprom Neft and a Russian petrochemicals producer SIBUR with a head office in Moscow will collaborate in the polymer road materials production and marketing. SIBUR will deliver styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) polymers to the facilities of Gazprom Neft. The materials are applied in the polymer-bitumen binders (PBB) manufacturing to improve the quality characteristics of the road surface and extend its service life.
