EXTON, PA — Bentley Systems, Incorporated (Nasdaq: BSY), a leading global provider of comprehensive software and digital twin cloud services for advancing the design, construction, and operations of infrastructure, recently announced that bp, one of the world’s largest oil and gas companies, has chosen Bentley’s AssetWise Asset Lifecycle Information Management (ALIM) and AssetWise Reliability (AR) solutions. These tools are part of Bentley Infrastructure Cloud and will be used to manage engineering information for projects and operations to help assure global asset integrity management.
In 2019, bp had selected Bentley to provide its industry-leading AssetWise ALIM solution as a Central Information Store (CIS) to manage changes in a controlled manner to maintain validated information needed for global projects and operations. This information includes all documents, tags, associated metadata, and 3D model visualization.
Bp has now chosen to standardize the use of AssetWise ALIM across all of its projects, production, and manufacturing assets. The solution enables a seamless migration of all critical information throughout the lifecycle, supporting the capital project process through to ongoing operations more efficiently to support safe and reliable projects and operations.
In addition to this, bp will also utilize AssetWise Reliability which will enable them to optimize inspections, minimize maintenance costs, increase availability, and work to improve safety and risk management. Bp initially implemented AssetWise Reliability on the Clair Asset in the North Sea, and a global deployment across eight regions is now underway.
Speaking on the development, Alan Kiraly, SVP of Industry Solutions, Bentley Systems, said, “Bentley has a long-standing relationship with bp, providing AssetWise ALIM as bp’s Central Information Store (CIS) to manage and maintain information needed for projects and operations, across the world. The integration of AssetWise Reliability with the CIS, in a cloud-based environment, to support bp’s Asset Integrity processes, enables Bentley to deliver standardized digital workflows and deliver significant benefits to bp.”
Rob Kelly, VP Digital Asset Management, bp, also expressed his satisfaction, stating, “I am pleased to be expanding the use of Bentley’s AssetWise portfolio of solutions specifically extending ALIM across bp’s global projects, production and manufacturing assets, and integration of Asset Reliability. This gives bp the assurance and advantage of accuracy of our information through effective change control, enabling us to make trusted decisions whether in projects or operations.”
The adoption of Bentley’s AssetWise ALIM and AssetWise Reliability by an industry giant like bp underscores the effectiveness and reliability of these solutions in managing and maintaining critical information throughout asset lifecycles. Moreover, it also serves as a testament to Bentley’s capabilities in delivering standardized digital workflows and providing significant benefits to its clients. This development is indeed a significant milestone for both Bentley Systems and bp, and a huge leap forward in global asset integrity management.
