Optimizing Maintenance Operations for Enhanced Asset Reliability

Client Overview

A leading offshore oil and gas operator faced increasing challenges with their maintenance operations, including high maintenance costs, prolonged shutdown periods, and concerns about asset reliability. The client recognized the need for a proactive maintenance strategy to improve efficiency and control rising expenses.

Challenge

The client's existing maintenance processes were reactive and siloed, leading to unplanned outages, increased operational costs, and inefficiencies during scheduled shutdowns.
