Creating an A3 Architecture Overview; a Case Study in SubSea Systems

The subsea oil and gas domain suffers from complex and partially incomplete information flows. As consequence, most employees in the involved organizations lack overview of the systems and operations. Using conceptual modeling and A3 architecture overviews, we have reconstructed the overview for the workover system and its operation. The result triggers interest from the suppliers in the oil and gas domain.
