Developing a Standardized Facility Design Package for Oil Production Facilities

Client: Growing Independent Oil Producer

Challenge

A growing independent oil producer wanted to establish a standardized facility design package that could be used to support future construction projects across its operations. The client identified one of its existing production facilities as the basis for future designs but lacked the detailed engineering documentation and digital assets needed to replicate the design efficiently. To create a repeatable facility standard, the client needed an accurate representation of existing conditions, comprehensive 3D modeling and complete drawing packages that could serve as the foundation for future planning, procurement and construction activities.

Solution

Altamira conducted LiDAR scanning of the existing production facility to capture accurate as-built conditions and generate a high-resolution, three-dimensional point cloud. Using this data, the team developed a detailed model in CADWorx that accurately represented the facility’s equipment, piping and infrastructure while establishing a standardized template for future facility designs.

Following completion of the model, Altamira developed a comprehensive engineering drawing package that included Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs); isometric drawings (ISOs); plan, section and elevation drawings; general arrangement layouts and bills of materials (BOMs). The client also received the completed CADWorx model, Navisworks files and all native CAD deliverables in both PDF and DWG formats. The resulting design package provided a scalable framework that can be used to support future facility engineering, procurement and construction activities.

Results

The completed project transformed an existing operating facility into a standardized design template that can be leveraged for future facility developments. By creating a detailed 3D digital model and comprehensive engineering drawing package, Altamira provided the client with a repeatable design framework that supports more efficient project planning, design consistency and streamlined construction execution. The deliverables also reduced the need for future field verification efforts while providing accurate documentation that can be adapted and scaled for new facility installations across the client’s asset portfolio.
