Data liberation will be crucial for Aker BP to run an even safer, more efficient production, which also helps reduce pollution and energy consumption. Accessible data also helps make informed decisions faster and enables testing and simulations.

Aker BP’s data includes vast amounts of process diagrams, work orders, seismic information, sensor data, and other data related to the company’s production processes. The data often gets stored in duplicity, in different formats and places with difficult access. Our task was to liberate the data by improving its usability and accessibility and facilitating new ways of working.

Making valuable data accessible

One of the advantages of working with design methods in complex innovation projects is that visualizing is an efficient way of making people from different areas understand complexity and paths better.

EGGS is helping Aker BP, through gathering user insights, agile coaching, and facilitation, to develop its own way of innovating. The aim is to improve both the usability and accessibility of their data by structuring it into prototypes.

 as well as applying UX and UI design, EGGS has acted as a facilitator and structured the data into prototypes while gathering insight through user testing. Innovation always demands change in some shape or form, which can be notoriously difficult for many – especially when involving cross-functional teams. Visualising is an efficient way for people to understand complexity and different paths better. Also, when working agile, solutions must be quickly visualised and tested in the form of 

. As a result, geologists, economists, engineers, etc., could immediately test prototypes and give valuable feedback, like how the software and access to data will help improve their workflow.

Facilitated change through visualization

Becoming agile and developing ways to adapt to change is vital for any company. Eureka will, consequently, equip Aker BP with tools and culture to confidently acclimatize to a rapidly changing future.

Being innovative and maintaining high levels of control in an industry very concerned with safe, efficient operations is challenging. The Eureka portfolio of projects ensures the company takes full advantage of the digitalisation process by developing its way of being strategically innovative – finding new ways of liberating and utilising the data – while at the same time continuing to operate safely. EGGS, therefore, also played a role in preparing Aker BP's management when it came to changing and implementing new digital systems on assets throughout the operational arm of Aker BP.
