JP Kenny Simulates Offshore Pipelines
with SIMULIA
JP Kenny has adopted the SIMULIA Abaqus Unified Finite Element Analysis software, to improve design and installation operations in several of its major Western Australian gas field projects
Dassault Systemes, a world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions, announces that JP Kenny, one of the world's largest independent pipeline and subsea engineering organizations, has used Abaqus Unified Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software, from the Dassault Systemes SIMULIA brand, to reduce time and cost while improving pipeline design and routing for offshore oil and gas exploration "To make the undersea infrastructure more secure, we have used Abaqus FEA software to plan for major event scenarios, including the impact of cyclones on pipeline dynamics," said Gordon Cowper, pipeline business leader for JP Kenny, in Perth, Australia: "Abaqus has reduced simulation times and improved the efficiency and accuracy of pipeline design and route mapping"

"Abaqus FEA software has a long history of successful use in the energy, petrochemical and offshore exploration industries," stated Ken Short, vice president for strategy and marketing of SIMULIA, on behalf of Dassault Systemes: "We continuously develop new and better technology for our customers, such as JP Kenny, to address the challenging engineering problems associated with increasingly harsh operating environments, making the extraction, transportation, and storage of their energy assets more cost-effective, safer and environmentally responsible".
Energy companies face large investments in pipeline materials and installation.
As they expand their exploration into new regions to find, produce and conserve energy resources, the use of Abaqus FEA technology from SIMULIA provides faster and more reliable engineering insight into design, installation and operational scenarios.
This helps ensure that pipelines and other offshore systems continue to function correctly throughout their working life with maximum return on investment and minimum environmental impact.
