Inspection/maintenance
Peter Bernard, CEO of Datagration, discusses how oil and gas industry predictive maintenance doesn’t just provide an economic value, it also boosts safety by anticipating unpredicted failures among aging infrastructure.
Oil and gas maintenance managers rank reliability of equipment and an overload of new processes and procedures to follow as top concerns in a new survey.
The authors describe a joint industry project focused on collaboration and knowledge-sharing to improve the competitiveness of Australia’s oil and gas industry by addressing critical challenges associated with subsea-equipment failure.
