Case Study: Saudi Aramco strengthens offshore SIMOPS safety and emergency response with Velosi Asset Integrity Limited

Saudi Aramco completes 24 offshore SIMOPS studies with Velosi Asset Integrity Limited

Saudi Aramco required comprehensive Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS) studies and Emergency Response Plans (ERPs) for its complex Abu Safah Offshore Platforms to safely manage the interface between drilling and production activities. Velosi Asset Integrity Limited was selected to deliver this critical programme, which involved developing formal plans and conducting risk assessments for twenty-four separate platforms in a high-activity environment with potential H2S exposure.

Velosi implemented a structured solution by facilitating risk assessment workshops with subject matter experts and developing platform-specific SIMOPS matrices and ERPs in full compliance with Saudi Aramco's standards. The result was a complete safety framework for all twenty-four platforms, enabling Saudi Aramco to confidently plan and execute concurrent operations. Velosi delivered robust, risk-ranked activity registers and clear emergency response guidance, strengthening the overall safety and resilience of the offshore field operations.
