Presight announces a new client contract with KCA Deutag, to implement Presight Barrier Management solution on to modu installations that is operated by KCAD Modu Operations.
This collaboration will support KCA Deutag enhance safety and operational efficiency by providing overview and dynamic visualisation into the health and performance of safety critical barriers.
KCA Deutag aimed to automate their processes, moving away from time-consuming and manual processes.
What Presight Barrier Management™ Delivers
Presight Barrier Management™ is designed to offer KCA Deutag a comprehensive, dynamic view of its critical safety barriers, providing actionable insights to improve decision-making and risk management. The fully cloud-based implementation ensures seamless access to data to allow a more efficient and holistic safety management process.
Key features of our solution include:
| Multi-Perspective Risk Visualisation: | |
| Major Incident Perspective | Using bowtie diagrams, Presight Barrier Management™ provides insights into how barriers are protecting against major accident risks. |
| Operational Perspective | By integrating weather forecasts and barrier data, Presight Barrier Management™ supports KCA Deutag plan safe operations by visualising operational envelopes for upcoming activities. |
| Area Perspective | Barrier functions are visualised based on operational areas, giving a clear picture of risk status for each area. |
In addition to;
| Historical Data & Future Planning | The system stores historical data for reviewing barrier performance prior to incidents or near-misses. Additionally, it offers 7–14-day forecasts, enabling proactive planning and risk mitigation. |
| Fleet Overview | KCA Deutag’s rigs, Askeladden and Askepott, will benefit from a fleet-wide overview. Presight Barrier Management™ provides KPI comparisons, integrated mapping, and drilldown capabilities, helping to optimise fleet performance. |
| Real-Time Barrier Status | The system continuously monitors the status of technical, operational, and organisational barrier elements, ensuring full transparency into the health of critical safety controls. |
Seamless Integration into Daily Operations
Presight Barrier Management™ will be fully integrated into KCA Deutag’s daily workflows, becoming an essential tool in activities like morning meetings with rig manager. Updated internal procedures will ensure barrier monitoring is consistently used for decision support, enhancing operational safety across the board.
Head of Delivery, Dana Poller, explains, “Our focus is on the user experience throughout the implementation process, creating dashboards and visualisations that are intuitive and easy to understand. Reducing the number of clicks is a priority, and ensuring that critical data is quickly accessible. Additionally, we are making the system dynamic, enabling users to interact with the data in real time using Presight’s best practices.”
She adds, “Simplifying the dashboards and prioritising user-friendliness have been key elements of the implementation.”
Key Success Factors for Implementation
The implementation of Presight Barrier Management™ has been a success, largely due to effective communication and collaboration with KCA Deutag in integrating multiple third-party systems. This integration includes DNV’s SynergiLife, KCA Deutag’s in-house systems for Drills and Training, and Mintra’s OCS Competence system. Together, these systems provide a single source of truth, ensuring timely access and consistency in data from external platforms.
Partnering with Presight gives us a comprehensive overview of our risk landscape. This enables decision-makers to clearly understand and be aware of the specific barriers they manage. The Presight Barrier Management tool provides an integrated visual summary of our technical, operational, and organisational barriers. It brings together information from various source systems, creating a single, accessible view of the risk picture. This streamlined approach boosts our efficiency, reduces intermediary steps, and strengthens our position as a global leader in drilling, engineering, and technology.
Lastly Petter Johnsen, CEO of Presight Solutions, adds,
“This partnership reinforces our commitment to our vision, providing our clients with insight tools to achieve their goals, optimise efficiency, and enhance safer operations.”
