Anticipate failures and extend equipment lifespan in Oil & Gas Industry

Maximizing Oil & Gas Reliability: Solutions for Optimal Performance

The oil and gas industry operates under extreme conditions, from unconventional onshore fields to ultra-deep waters, subjecting equipment to immense stress. Across the entire value chain – Upstream (Exploration & Production), Midstream (Transport & Storage), and Downstream (Refining & Processing) – asset reliability is essential for profitability, safety, and risk management.

With cutting-edge condition monitoring (CBM) and Health & Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS) applications, Acoem empowers operators to maximize production, anticipate failures, and extend asset lifespan across all their operations.

Critical Areas Requiring Condition Monitoring

1.

Onshore (Exploration & Production)

1. Onshore (Exploration & Production)

Conventional and unconventional reservoirs (shale gas, oil sands) generate high mechanical stress. Rotating equipment accounts for 25–30% of unplanned downtime in onshore E&P. Critical equipment: Injection pumps, Compressors, Drilling equipment, Motor gearboxes

2.

Offshore Platforms & Gas Processing

2. Offshore Platforms & Gas Processing

Dynamic offshore loads drive riser fatigue, while LNG depends on cryogenic high-speed turbomachinery. Failures cost $2–5M/day; rotating assets cause 30–35% of LNG downtime. Critical equipment: Turbines and turbocompressors, Subsea equipment and risers, Cryogenic LNG machinery

4.

Transportation (Midstream)

4. Transportation (Midstream)

Pipelines, pumping and compression stations require continuous monitoring. Pipeline incidents due to mechanical failure occur at 1.5–2 per 1,000 km annually. Critical equipment: Pumping stations, Compression units, Diesel engines, Cooling fans

3.

Storage Terminals (Midstream)

3. Storage Terminals (Midstream)

24/7 loading/unloading operations depend on pumps, valves, and transfer systems. Failures in terminal equipment can result in 10–15% throughput losses and safety hazards. Critical equipment: Transfer pumps, Valves, Loading arms and transfer systems

Improve Asset Reliability in Oil & Gas with Predictive Maintenance

Tailored Solutions for O&G Industry Challenges

Secure High-Stakes Assets in Extreme Environments
Dealing with deepwater risers (~2000m) and unconventional reserves involves high technological risks and costs. Acoem’s predictive monitoring is crucial for managing these assets, optimizing CAPEX, and preventing failures where direct measurement is unreliable.
Master Complex Machinery (LNG & Refining)
The value chain involves diverse processes, from crude oil refining to gas liquefaction. Our technologies (MVX, Falcon) are specifically designed to handle this complexity, ensuring reliability for everything from high-speed turbocompressors to slow-rotating equipment.
Ensure Safety in Hazardous Areas (ATEX)
Platforms and terminals are hazardous environments with hard-to-reach equipment. Acoem enhances safety by reducing the need for on-site presence through Eagle wireless monitoring and Advisor remote diagnostics, keeping your maintenance teams out of harm's way

Operate Safely in Hazardous Areas (ATEX)

Working in explosive and hard-to-access environments is a major challenge for Oil & Gas operations. Our ATEX-certified flagship products are designed to keep your teams safe while providing continuous monitoring and maintenance, ensuring reliable performance and maximum uptime even in the most demanding conditions.
