Commissioning & Start-Up

A key component of Upstream Wells & Projects improvement journey is the safe and efficient planning and execution of Commissioning and Start-Up (CSU) activities, including the process of handing over the completed assets to the operator with the assurance of technical integrity and successful first year production. This phase of the project delivery process is particularly critical, because it introduces the additional risks of “Live” hydrocarbons and the additional complexity of multiple execution parties and the transfer of responsibilities. NAPTA’s PDS® equipped to define a standardised work process for CSU planning and execution and the Project-to-Asset (P2A) transfer phase, to enable project teams to continually improve their delivery performance.

We believe that a flawless project start-up is dependent on excellence throughout the entire project delivery process, thorough preparation and accurate execution during the contracting, design, procurement, construction, commissioning and completions phases. NAPTA is practically able to address the commissioning, completions and start-up elements of project delivery, including the Project-to-Asset transfer.

NAPTA’s Commissioning method covers the testing and verification activities carried out to ensure that equipment and systems perform in accordance with specified requirements to bring them safely into operation. The aspiration is to execute commissioning activities flawlessly without incidents, however if incidents happen, the recovery is to apply NAPTA’s Commissioning Start-up Incident process, a structured methodology to analyse the root causes of the incidents and communicate swiftly lessons learned from the incidents to stakeholder to avoid reoccurrence.
