Petroleum plays a critical role across many industries and is essential to maintaining modern industrial civilisation.
The sector is generally divided into three main categories: upstream, mainstream, midstream, and downstream.
On- and offshore oil and gas companies face the constant challenge of maximizing performance, minimizing downtime, and controlling costs.
The petrochemical industry plays a vital role in modern manufacturing, focusing on the production and trade of chemicals derived from petroleum. Closely linked to downstream petroleum operations, it supplies raw materials for a wide range of applications, with the plastics sector forming a major component used across industries from packaging to automotive and construction.
When a critical piece of equipment fails in a chemical plant, it can slow production or even trigger a partial or full plant shutdown. Depending on the process, the disruption may be limited to a specific unit or product line.
Measuring and reporting maintenance performance creates awareness and is a critical first step. Strong maintenance programs are another key strategy that leading chemical companies use to decrease equipment downtime.
