SIMOPS (Simultaneous Operations) occur on many levels in offshore operations. Not only are there simultaneous operations on a single facility, but there may may be platforms connected by bridging or workovers, drilling and production platforms operating in very close proximity. Each impacts the risk profile of the others.

SIMOPS are two or more facilities operating in the same location with differing operating philosophies, controls and safety responses, which are united for a period of time.

The key to successful and safe simultaneous operations for all parties is to map out who is in charge and which philosophy rules. Risknology works with the conditions to help clients find the optimal strategy to minimize risk.
