ABSTRACT

Oil and Gas Subsea projects contracting status quo is supported by PDF documents interchanging, with relevant data being part of texts, drawings, graphics, and tables. This process dramatically reduces the agility, quality, and traceability requirements and is highly prone to errors. Based on that, the CERTI Foundation, a Centre of Reference in Innovative Technologies and a South American O&G Company deployed a project to digitalise the contractual documentation development. A process mapping of “As is” and “As to be” was conducted following a Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) approach. Thereby, the project requirements were identified and started the system development. After software solutions mock-ups’ and users’ feedback, the web-based system development has started. The project aimed to develop a web-based system process-oriented. This digitisation initiative reduces lead time and errors, providing a digital traceability process assuring automated checking and validation.
