Introduction to OCS Group Singapore’s Contributions
Over the past 25 years, OCS Group Singapore has been at the forefront of creating innovative solutions tailored for project and commissioning management in the oil and gas industry.
Their expertise spans from developing the pioneering Project Management System in 1997 for new build rigs to groundbreaking software for inspections such as Hazard Trac and Rig Inspections software.
Project Management Software (PMS) for Oil and Gas
OCS Singapore’s PMS revolutionized project management in the oil and gas sector, focusing on:
New Build Rigs: The system meticulously plans and tracks every detail, from cable installation to commissioning, enabling an organized and systematic path.
Benefits: Ensures efficiency, precision, and smooth transitions from construction to commissioning, making it indispensable for new build projects.
Challenges in Rig Reactivation Projects
Unlike new builds, rig reactivation projects pose unique challenges:
Non-systematic Approach: Each reactivation project varies based on factors such as the rig's downtime and the owner’s strategy.
Dynamic Scope of Work: Reactivation projects often uncover new tasks mid-way, requiring adaptable management solutions.
Recognizing this, OCS Group Singapore developed Rig Reactivation Software that:
Adapts to changing project requirements.
Key Features of Rig Reactivation Software
Ease of Use:
Requires minimal training or expertise.
Accessible to all key project members with appropriate permissions.
Procurement Integration:
Tracks procurement status, providing transparency across teams.
Systemization of Scopes:
Automatically categorizes and organizes work scopes, ensuring seamless management.
Certification Management:
Centralized tracking of certifications and legal requirements, ensuring compliance and readiness.
Real-Time Reporting:
Provides instant graphical and statistical updates for effective decision-making.
Limitless - Innovation Future
- Limitless: A Revolutionary PMS The Limitless PMS is designed to accommodate projects of any scope or industry, reflecting its name: Initially developed for rig reactivation, it has proven versatile enough to manage projects across various industries, including construction, pharmaceutical, and administration. Core strengths: Scalability for small and large projects. Flexibility to modify for industry-specific requirements. Streamlined management of tasks, departments, and workflows. Applications of Limitless The software’s adaptability makes it suitable for: Oil and Gas: New builds, upgrades, SPS/5-Year surveys, and reactivations. Other Industries: Civil construction, pharmaceutical projects, and even administrative workflows. Innovative Management Principles OCS Singapore has emphasized the importance of: Systematic planning for new builds. Adaptive solutions for unpredictable reactivation projects.
- The process is simple, you find a work scope and enter it, that’s all, there is no order to enter the SOW, the supersmart software manages the rest by organizing the information, processes and systemizing the SOW etc. As with any Project Management solution “Systemization and categorizing” is essential. Certification Management Another “Key Element” of Reactivation Software is the management of “Re-certification” and / or legal requirements, company policies etc. to be completed. All this information is gathered together so anyone who have access to the software can instantly see the Status of All certification of equipment / systems what is required and plan for the relevant party for recertification. Project Status Reporting Instant project status reporting can be viewed with graphical and statistical information available. This makes reporting to on and offsite management easy as its automatic Completed and outstanding work scopes can be easily managed
- Why did we call this Project Management System “Limitless”?
Well simply because it is. While we initially developed this system for Reactivation Projects and with thinking “Outside the Box”, it started to become obvious clear that it can be used for any project with modifying a few elements of the software in house, with no expertise that would suit that industry or project scope, even outside of Oil and Gas Industry. The simplicity of its use and smart functionality the PMS system can be used for almost anything which would have multiple tasks, departments, sections etc. both small and large.
But to mention just a few are listed below but again its Limitless.
