OIL & GAS
Proactive Asset Management Solutions for Oil & Gas
A disruption in electrical service can lead to significant revenue losses in industries such as oil & gas facilities. Industrial monitoring enables informed, data-driven decision-making processes. Oil & gas facilities rely on complex electrical systems to operate efficiently and safely. Monitoring the condition of electrical assets is essential for maintaining asset integrity and prolonging equipment lifespan.
What Can be monitored?
Transformer Monitoring
Transformers are critical components in oil & gas facilities, responsible for stepping up or stepping down voltage levels to power essential equipment such as pumps, compressors, and motors. Monitoring their condition helps ensure their reliability, minimising the risk of unexpected failures and downtime. Faults or failures in transformers can pose serious safety hazards, including fires, explosions, and environmental damage.
Continuous condition monitoring allows for the early detection of abnormalities such as overheating, insulation degradation, or oil leaks, enabling operators to take corrective action promptly and prevent potential accidents. By analysing monitoring data and trends, maintenance teams can schedule inspections, oil testing, and other maintenance tasks as needed to prevent potential failures and extend the lifespan of transformers.
Rotating Machines Monitoring
Rotating machines such as pumps, compressors, turbines, and motors are critical components in oil & gas facilities, responsible for various tasks including extraction, processing, and transportation of hydrocarbons. Monitoring the condition of these machines helps ensure their reliable operation, minimizing the risk of unexpected failures and downtime, which can be costly and disruptive to operations. Faults or failures in rotating machines can pose significant safety hazards, including fires, explosions, and equipment damage.
Continuous monitoring allows for the early detection of abnormalities such as vibration, temperature, or lubrication issues, enabling operators to take corrective action promptly and prevent potential accidents. By investing in comprehensive monitoring systems and leveraging advanced technologies such as sensors, data analytics, and predictive maintenance algorithms, operators can maximize the performance and longevity of their rotating machines, ultimately supporting the success and sustainability of oil & gas operations.
Switchgear Monitoring
Switchgear is the backbone of electrical distribution systems in oil & gas facilities, controlling the flow of electricity and protecting critical equipment. Monitoring their condition helps ensure reliable operations, minimising the risk of unexpected failures and downtime. This can have significant operational and financial implications. Switchgear also ensures the efficiency of oil & gas operations through effective and reliable power distribution across equipment.
Monitoring parameters such as temperature, current, and voltage helps identify potential issues early, allowing for proactive maintenance to optimise efficiency and minimise energy losses. Operators can use historical data on switchgear performance to identify trends, predict potential failures, and optimise operating parameters for improved efficiency and reliability.
Power Cable Monitoring
Power cables are essential for delivering electrical power to various equipment and processes in oil & gas facilities, including pumps, compressors, and control systems. Monitoring the condition of power cables helps ensure their reliable operation, minimizing the risk of unexpected failures and downtime, which can disrupt production and result in costly repairs.
Faults or failures in power cables can pose significant safety hazards, including electrical shocks, fires, and explosions. Continuous monitoring allows for the early detection of abnormalities such as insulation degradation, overheating, or physical damage, enabling operators to take corrective action promptly and prevent potential accidents.
Breakers Monitoring
Monitoring breakers in the oil & gas industry is critical for ensuring operational reliability, safety, and efficiency. Breakers play a crucial role in maintaining the reliability of electrical systems in oil & gas facilities. They interrupt the flow of electricity when necessary to protect equipment and prevent damage. Monitoring the condition of breakers helps ensure they are functioning correctly, minimising the risk of unexpected failures and downtime.
Monitoring breakers generates valuable data insights that can help in informed decision-making. This also has significant financial and operational implications. Operators can use historical data on breaker performance to identify trends, predict potential failures, and optimise operating parameters for improved efficiency and reliability.
