bp selects Bentley Systems platforms to manage project technical information

Bentley Systems, Incorporated announced that bp has selected AssetWise Asset Lifecycle Information Management (ALIM) and AssetWise Reliability (AR), part of Bentley Infrastructure Cloud, to manage project and operations technical information to enable global asset management and help ensure the integrity.

In 2019, bp selected Bentley to deliver its industry-leading AssetWise ALIM solution as a Central Information Store (CIS) to manage changes in a controlled manner and maintain the validated information needed for global projects and operations, including all documents, labels , associated metadata and 3D model visualization.

bp will now standardize AssetWise ALIM across all projects, production and production assets. AssetWise ALIM enables seamless migration of all critical information throughout the lifecycle, more efficiently supporting the capital project process through ongoing operations to support safe and reliable projects and operations.

AssetWise Reliability enables bp to optimize inspections, minimize maintenance costs, increase availability and work to improve safety and risk management. bp initially deployed AssetWise Reliability at Clair Asset in the North Sea and a global rollout is now underway in eight regions.

Alan Kiraly, senior vice president of industrial solutions at Bentley Systems, said: “Bentley has a long-standing relationship with bp and provides AssetWise ALIM as bp's central information store (CIS) to manage and maintain the information necessary for projects and activities in everyone. . “The integration of AssetWise Reliability with 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, said: “I am pleased to expand the use of Bentley's AssetWise solutions portfolio, specifically expanding ALIM to bp's global projects, manufacturing and production assets, and the integration of Asset Reliability. “This gives BP the security and benefit of the accuracy of our information through effective change management, allowing us to make confident decisions in both projects and operations.”
