| Abstract | The oil and gas (O&G) industry is one of the sectors that contribute to the Malaysian economy. It involves planning, design, construction, and maintenance of upstream as well as downstream of related facilities such as offshore pipeline installation projects. The current standard of practice requires inspection and testing to be carried out to identify defects on welding works due to various factors including poor supervision during the welding process which affects the overall productivity of the pipe laying process. Thus, monitoring productivity is one of the most important aspects during offshore pipeline installation to avoid or minimize project delays. If the factors affecting productivity are not known or managed effectively, they will give impacts in terms of huge losses to the client, contractors, consultants, and other project stakeholders. This study identified significant factors affecting the productivity of offshore pipeline installation projects in Malaysia based on feedback from a survey administered to 100 stakeholders involved directly in the projects. Eighteen significant factors were identified which were grouped under five major components namely; planning and scheduling; experience and performance, technical, project, and management factors. This study brings important insights into productivity factors in the context of pipeline installation to assist the contractors and stakeholders to improve the productivity of offshore projects in Malaysia. It is envisaged that the empirical findings offer valuable information and new knowledge and contribute to the existing literature pipeline installation projects. |
