Using Autodesk Technology in the Offshore Industry
In the uniquely challenging Offshore industry, the race is on to find ways to safeguard the delivery of resources to a changing world. Higher oil and gas prices combined with the demand for greener energy have created demand for new well technologies that optimise production and recovery, and an increasingly complex supply chain is making global collaboration more difficult than ever.
The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping is a comprehensive 2D and 3D platform for innovation, streamlining the product development process and reducing overall time to market by as much as 58 days*.
Keep up with the technology race
The offshore industry is involved in an unprecedented technology race, searching for ways to access new reserves, extend field life and optimise production. New materials, intervention techniques and digital technologies are transforming all aspects of the industry – and speed is of the essence.
The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping offers a complete platform to support innovation. Use Autodesk Inventor to quickly bring new ideas from concept to testing without physical prototyping, integrate industrial design data from the very start of the product development process, share ideas with global partners and test innovations before production and costly offshore implementation.
Win more complex projects
Whether rejuvenating existing facilities or overcoming access issues in increasingly demanding environments, every element of offshore development means tackling complex engineering head on.
The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping helps you win bigger, more complex contracts. Quickly develop precise, production-ready 3D concepts. Use innovation, inspired design and streamlined processes to deliver compelling and cost effective proposals. Let Autodesk Inventor give your design teams the freedom to create the products of the future, while you keep control of your budgets.
Design better products
Technology is finding ever more clever ways to safeguard the delivery of resources to a global marketplace. Demand is growing for digital oilfield technologies, smart down-hole tools, monitoring and control equipment. But developing a reputation for excellence in emerging technologies can drive up development costs and eat into margins.
The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping offers a reliable 3D platform to engineer accuracy and precision without slowing the overall development process. Robust testing capabilities help to achieve the highest possible quality and optimum performance, ensuring effective, right-first time design.
Improve collaboration between global design teams, Engineering, Procurement and Construction contractors and suppliers
The offshore industry has always operated in a global landscape, and today the need to collaborate effectively across continents is vital – without slowing the product development process, compromising data quality or complicating the audit trail.
The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping lets you communicate and collaborate with your global customers and partners without losing control. Autodesk’s comprehensive documentation toolset is designed to manage and track all stages of the product lifecycle, access critical design information and automate the design revision and release processes.
Reduce physical prototyping and overall product development costs
In an industry facing a wide range of economic challenges, not least the rising costs of staffing, energy and capital equipment, reducing product development costs and helping your people work more efficiently has become a priority.
The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping gets your innovations from concept through testing and into production more quickly – lowering your overall development costs and reducing the costs of physical prototyping by as much as 48 percent.* Faster concept development delivers greater value from your design team, generating more cost effective workflow and creating an environment for ongoing innovation.
Streamline processes and reduce time to market
Unprecedented changes to the oil and gas industry in recent times have set a pace for technological change that only the most agile of companies can keep up with.
The Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping lets you streamline your product development process and get your new or modified product to market faster. Data management features provide easy access to existing components and product information for re-use or adaptation. Build industrial, mechanical, electrical and creative design elements into a single 3D model. Testing designs in the virtual environment cuts development times even further to keep you ahead of the competition.
