The challenge

What holds oil & gas operations back

Nigerian oil and gas operations run on complex, often ageing infrastructure spread across onshore, swamp, and offshore locations. Every site visit is costly, every shutdown is time-critical, and every inspection depends on records that are frequently out of date. OakAssist gives operators an accurate digital picture of their facilities and a repeatable way to prepare crews before they reach site, so maintenance, turnarounds, and regulatory reviews start from evidence rather than assumptions.

  1. 01

    Drawings that no longer match the facility

    Decades of modifications leave P&IDs, isometrics, and layouts out of step with the plant. Engineering teams re-measure on site, and modification work is planned around uncertainty.

  2. 02

    Costly, hard-to-reach sites

    Offshore and remote swamp locations limit how often engineers and contractors can visit. Every extra trip for a measurement or walkdown adds logistics cost, security exposure, and delay.

  3. 03

    High-consequence tasks with limited practice

    Permit-to-work, isolation, confined-space, and emergency-response procedures carry serious risk, yet crews rarely get to rehearse them safely before they are needed.

  4. 04

    Evidence requests from regulators and partners

    Integrity reviews, joint-venture partner audits, and regulator inspections all require current records of assets and personnel competency — often gathered under time pressure.

How OakAssist helps

Two solutions, one operating picture

Digital assets give your teams an accurate view of the facility. Training-as-a-Service prepares your people to work in it safely and keeps the evidence current. Use either on its own, or combine them so training is built from your real site data.

01 Know your facility

Digital Assets

Survey-grade capture turns the facility as it actually exists into a shared digital baseline.

  • As-built models of platforms, flow stations, and terminals

    LiDAR and photogrammetry capture piping, structures, and equipment so engineers can measure, check clashes, and plan modifications without returning to site.

  • Turnaround and shutdown preparation

    Scaffolding, lifting, access routes, and work packs are planned against current site data, reducing surprises once the shutdown clock starts.

  • Inspection and integrity zone mapping

    Inspection points and integrity records are linked to a spatial reference, so teams can locate the right information quickly during reviews.

02 Prepare your people

Training-as-a-Service (TaaS)

Training-as-a-Service prepares crews for critical procedures and keeps the evidence current.

  • VR rehearsal of high-risk procedures

    Crews practise isolations, permit-to-work steps, and emergency response in scenarios built from your own facility data — repeatedly and without exposure to live hazards.

  • Pre-mobilisation familiarisation

    Rotating crews and contractors walk the facility virtually before travelling offshore or to remote sites, shortening time-to-productivity on arrival.

  • Competency records for audits

    Completion and assessment data are logged per person, giving supervisors and assurance teams verifiable training evidence for partner and regulator reviews.

From site data to site-ready teams

Combine both solutions to turn your facility's digital twin into a training environment. Teams practise in a place they recognise, before they work in it.

What changes

The results you can expect

  • Fewer site visits for measurement and verification
  • Shorter, better-prepared turnarounds
  • Crews rehearsed before high-risk work
  • Current asset and competency records on request
