environments. With the new EYESIM
immersive technology, employees are
familiarised with operations before they even
do the actual work,” said Yacoub Al-Shatti,
KOC training instructor.
This provides a realistic virtual learning
environment, which prepares personnel to
act appropriately in any given situation.
EYESIM supports the capture and
knowledge-transfer of best practices,
increasing efficiency and reducing costly
errors or maintenance.
Capture and knowledge
transfer of best practices
A key aspect driving this project is KOC’s
retiring workforce.
As operators leave KOC, its vital that the
company is able to transfer the critical
knowledge of the senior members of its
workforce to the new incoming group of
operators. This is critical to ensuring that
the plant continues to operate safely
and reliably.
Training Simulators (OTS) allow operators
to train on a computer in an identical
environment to that of the control room
within the facility. Al Farhoud said: “The Immersive Virtual
Reality training from EYESIM helps give KOC
personnel the skills needed to confidently
and skilfully run our production processes.”
This provides a realistic virtual learning

EYESIM supports the capture and
knowledge-transfer of best practices,
increasing efficiency and reducing costly
errors or maintenance. With EYESIM, KOC captures the inherent
value in the knowledge base of its workforce,
integrating it into a comprehensive training
programme that grows with the needs of the
company. Thanks to SimSci, KOC is able to
bring new technology to a new generation
of employees. n
Peter Richmond, Product Manager for SimSci,
said: “This is an exciting new technology and
KOC is the first customer in the upstream
industry in the Middle East to adopt it.”
Ensuring safety is top priority
It was very important that KOC created
a ‘real world’ training experience for its
young professionals before they go into the
actual working plant environment. The 3D
simulation provided by EYESIM promotes
these workers’ self-confidence before they
step foot into the plant.
One of the aims of KOC is to build employee
confidence through training. EYESIM

provides this as well as enhances employee
safety in the plant working environment.
Prior to EYESIM, KOC trained operators
directly on the plant floor, which made
it difficult to ensure that production was
efficient and safe. Because operators have
to be competent before being permitted
to work in the plant, KOC chose to make
an investment in employee training with
the 3D EYESIM visualisation system, which
familiarises them with the plant before they
are taken on to the floor.
EYESIM has established a successful
personnel training programme that has
resulted in fewer accidents and better safety,
as well as reducing unplanned shutdowns.
