Aveva has announced that it has entered a multiyear agreement with Statoil for Aveva Everything3D (Aveva E3D). The Norwegian Energy owner operator has selected Aveva E3D to be its strategic 3D design software platform.

Following the migration to Aveva E3D by a number of other companies, Statoil selected it as the natural upgrade of its existing design system, Aveva PDMS. Statoil will benefit from improved design efficiency and Aveva E3D’s simple migration from Aveva PDMS, means there will be no disruption to existing projects.

This will give Statoil and its contractors the possibility of cutting project schedules and reducing rework during both the design and construction phase.

Statoil has been a strategic user of Aveva PDMS and Aveva Globa for more than 15 years and acknowledges the value this software has brought when executing field development, maintenance and modification projects as well as during the operation and revamp of its portfolio of facilities.

Moving forward Aveva E3D will give Statoil the possibility to meet the future demand of cost effective project execution, utilising its integration with high-definition laser survey capabilities, comprehensive clash detection and improved design and drawing capabilities. As existing users of Aveva PDMS, it’s compatibility with Aveva E3D, ensured that Statoil can migrate and access the 3D design for both new and existing facilities in a flexible and controlled manner.

"Statoil has selected Aveva E3D as its 3D solution of choice for both its greenfield and brownfield complex plant design projects," said Helmut Schuller, executive vice president – sales, Aveva. "Aveva’s unmatched design efficiency in brownfield is due to Aveva E3D’s extremely tight integration with laser scanning capabilities, and its simple migration from Aveva PDMS," he added.
