De-risking Oil & Gas Projects with Digital Precision: Insights from Thomas Grand of Samp

SPEAKERS

Thomas Grand COO and Head of Sales, Samp

ABOUT THE SESSION

At the Oil & Gas Automation and Digitalization Conference 2023, Thomas Grand, a trailblazer in industrial digitalization and Executive Leader at Samp, unveiled a transformative approach to managing revamping projects and maintenance contracts. With over 20 years of experience bridging the process industry and digital technology, Thomas shared how Samp is redefining operational success through the intelligent integration of legacy engineering drawings with up-to-date 3D reality capture. 
 

Revolutionizing Revamps with Reality Capture 
In the ever-evolving oil and gas sector, aligning legacy P&ID (Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams) with the actual field environment is critical. Thomas introduced Samp’s solution as a game-changer—identifying discrepancies early, preventing costly errors, rework, and safety hazards before they occur. This integration of digital records and real-world scans not only ensures project accuracy but enhances collaboration between office engineers and field technicians, enabling faster, smarter decision-making. 
 

A Strategic Shield Against Project Risk 
Samp’s solution offers early-stage risk mitigation by detecting mismatches between as-designed and as-built systems. This capability is especially powerful in revamping and expansion projects, where even minor inconsistencies can derail timelines and inflate budgets. By leveraging this technology, companies can streamline project phases from planning to execution and final handover, resulting in faster completion, fewer delays, and lower costs. 
 

Enhancing Long-Term Service Contracts 
Beyond one-time projects, Samp’s approach brings significant advantages to ongoing service agreements. It improves accuracy during bidding, enhances execution precision, and facilitates smoother project closeouts. The result? Stronger contractor performance, reduced operational disruptions, and a digital thread that supports long-term asset integrity. 
 

Key Topics Covered: 
 

• The role of 3D reality capture in aligning outdated process drawings with real-world conditions 
• How early discrepancy detection de-risks revamping and expansion projects 
• Benefits for long-term maintenance contracts: improved bidding, service execution, and closure 
• Bridging the communication gap between office-based teams and field personnel 
• The future of project execution through digital integration and shared context
