Achievement
Facilities Improvement Project (FIP)
FIP is a term used by Shell Upstream for projects to upgrade and enhance existing offshore platform. It is considered as Minor Capital Brownfield project with budget normally less than USD10mil. . FIP projects are normally smaller in capital but very complex in execution as hydrocarbon and other toxic gases are exist in the plant and only have limited Shutdown window. The engineering will need to be detail and accurate as any mistake will incurred cost exponentially to the project.
