HOW A GCC OIL AND GAS OPERATOR CONNECTED ONSHORE AND OFFSHORE SAFETY OPERATIONS WITH QGIRA
A GCC oil and gas operator replaced fragmented, paper-based HSE processes with QGira connecting onshore and offshore assets through standardized workflows, mobile reporting, and real-time compliance visibility.
RESULTS AT A GLANCE
PROJECT OVERVIEW
THE CHALLENGE
The operator managed high-risk activities across multiple onshore and offshore assets using fragmented, paper-based HSE processes.
Key challenges included:
• Delayed Permit-to-Work approvals in high-risk areas
• Missed permit expiries and compliance risks
• Slow incident reporting
• Limited corrective-action traceability
• Fragmented workforce and contractor training records
• Inconsistent audit follow-up
• Repeat safety non-conformities
• Limited real-time visibility for HSE leadership
BEFORE QGIRA
Paper Forms → Manual Approvals → Disconnected Records → Delayed Action
This fragmented approach slowed safety processes, weakened traceability, and made regulatory readiness difficult to maintain across locations.
THE SOLUTION
QGira connected the operator’s onshore and offshore HSE activities within one digital platform.
The solution included:
• Digital audits and inspections
• Incident and root-cause management
• Risk-based Digital Permit to Work
• Multi-level permit approvals and expiry tracking
• Closed-loop corrective and preventive action tracking
• Contractor training and certification management
• Automated reminders and escalations
• Real-time compliance dashboards
• Mobile and offline-capable field reporting
• Integration with existing enterprise systems
HOW QGIRA WORKS
Field teams capture safety information digitally, including from locations with limited connectivity. QGira routes submissions for review and approval, tracks corrective actions and permit expiries, and provides leadership with real-time safety insights.
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| Paper-based HSE processes | Connected digital workflows |
| Manual Permit to Work | Risk-based Digital Permit to Work |
| Delayed incident reporting | Mobile reporting and instant alerts |
| Fragmented corrective actions | Closed-loop CAPA tracking |
| Disconnected training records | Centralized training visibility |
| Manual compliance reports | Real-time dashboards |
| Limited site visibility | Integrated asset-level insights |
MEASURABLE RESULTS
100% DIGITAL PERMIT-TO-WORK PROCESS
The operator fully digitalized its Permit-to-Work process and eliminated missed permit expiries.
70% FASTER INCIDENT REPORTING
Mobile submissions and instant alerts reduced incident-reporting time by 70%.
45% REDUCTION IN REPEAT NON-CONFORMITIES
Closed-loop CAPA tracking improved follow-up and reduced repeat non-conformities by 45%.
Additional improvements included:
• Full safety-training visibility across employees and contractors
• Faster initiation-to-closure of safety processes
• Stronger year-round regulatory preparedness
• Simplified mobile reporting for field teams
• Improved HSE transparency and accountability
• Better visibility into trends across onshore and offshore assets
KEY TAKEAWAY
QGira brought onshore and offshore HSE activities into one connected system helping the operator accelerate incident reporting, digitalize work permits, reduce repeat non-conformities, and improve regulatory readiness.
