SANJEL CORPORATIONAcceleraing he developmen o innovaive oilield soluions wih

SolidWorks soware

Meeing he equipmen needs o odays as-paced oil and gas indusry demandsresponsiveness, innovaion, and accuracy. As he larges privaely owned oileld servicescompany in Canada, wih inernaional operaions sreching around he globe, SanjelCorporaion embraces he use o design echnology o promply deliver beter perorming,more reliable producs o gas- and peroleum-producing cusomers.

Sanjel engineers had used 2D design ools unil 24, when he rapidly acceleraing pace

o oil and gas exploraion, drilling, and producion compelled he company o evaluae 3DCAD soluions o speed developmen, conrol coss, and boos qualiy. The energy servicescompany decided o invesigae a variey o 3D soluions, including an evaluaion copy oSolidWorks soware. According o Senior Mechanical Designer Kris Sao, SolidWorkssoware passed our ess wih ying colors, and we evaluaed he SolidWorks sowareenvironmen as our sandard design soluion.

Sanjel sandardized on he SolidWorks 3D CAD soware because i is easy o learn and use,helps engineers overcome design challenges and creae innovaive conceps, and providesaccess o he inegraed SolidWorks eDrawings communicaions and SolidWorks Simulaionanalysis applicaions. The companys designers believed SolidWorks soware was betersuied o help hem achieve heir goal o responding more quickly o marke demands orinnovaive, high-qualiy equipmen.

A big par o our decision o move o SolidWorks soware was he abiliy o do a lo oprooyping in 3D, combining srucural simulaion and CFD (compuaional uid dynamics)analysis as par o our design work, explains Je Spence, manager engineering.

Challenge:Improve responsiveness o he equipmen

needs o oil and gas exploraion and producion

cusomers hrough increased qualiy, beter

Results:

Reduced design time by 40 percent

Cut development costs by 25 percent

Decreased scrap by 50 percent

Improved design communications with

Using SolidWorks design andsimulation sofware, Sanjel designedand manuactured this specializedredundant cementing skid in araction o the time and at lower cost.

Slashing development time

The move o SolidWorks soware has enabled Sanjel o dramaically compress isdevelopmen cycles. For example, an oil-drilling cusomer in he Middle Eas needed aspecialized redundan cemening skid. Sanjel engineers designed and manuacured heequipmen, which uses he companys new SCM (Sanjel Cyclonic Mixer) cemen mixingechnology, in a racion o he ime i would have aken wihou SolidWorks soware.

The company no only slashed developmen ime or he SCM cemening skida mobileuni ha provides cemening services or oil wellsrom wo years o six monhs, bu

also realized a 4 percen reducion in design ime across he board. SolidWorks sowarehelped us deliver quickly on an imporan produc ha could easily have aken wo years obuild, Sao noes. SolidWorks soware gave everyone involved a clear picure o wha wewere working on and working owardand kep us moving as.

Spence atribues he efciency improvemens o he combinaion o design reuse andvirual prooyping. SolidWorks soware enables us o develop equipmen rapidly, whichgives us a denie advanage, Spence says.

Simulation improves quality, reduces costs

Sanjel uses SolidWorks Simulaion o eliminae design errors, cu developmen coss, andimprove produc perormance. The company uilizes SolidWorks Simulaion o ensure ha isequipmen is rugged enough o wihsand oileld condiions, and SolidWorks Flow Simulaion

o make sure ha uids ranging rom cemen o oil ow smoohly hrough piping, anges,elbows, valves, and oher tings. Wih SolidWorks Simulaion, Sao esimaes ha Sanjelhas cut its prototyping costs by 25 percent, and reduced scrap by 50 percent.

Wha we used o achieve by modiying a physical prooype, we can now do in soware.Tha saves ime and money because we use less maerial, Sao sresses.

Spence adds, Now, we can spend more ime developing and simulaing new echnology. OurR&D eor is criical o ensuring ha we provide our cusomers wih he bes-perormingequipmen, so hey can do heir jobs beter.

Better communication in the field

SolidWorks eDrawings helps Sanjel engineers communicae design inormaion o cusomersand eld service personnel. We use eDrawings les exensively o email inormaion o ouroperaions personnel, Spence says. eDrawings soware is a very powerul ool because ibeter equips our people in he eld.

They can use an eDrawings le o roae he model, and we can provide hem wih as muchinormaion as necessary. We can also conrol access o he inormaion depending on heneedsuch as he abiliy o do cuaways, apply ransparency, or hide componenswhichmakes our eld operaions more agile and exible, Spence noes.
