Terminals, refineries, rigs, platforms and pipelines are costly to build, to operate and to maintain. Keeping tight control over the total life-cycle cost of all this equipment is a major challenge. At the same time, the opportunities to stay ahead of the game are huge at the moment. Industry 4.0, data, smart solutions and the energy transition present openings to accelerate improvements and increase an Oil and Gas company’s competitive advantage. Asset management can drive this transformation by using data-driven insights to increase asset efficiency and maximize asset performance to positively impact the bottom line.

APM Challenges for Oil and Gas

New asset owner

More and more oil and gas assets are taken over by new asset owners. These can be for example former competitors but also capital investors who want to enter a market. Asset management of the acquired company either needs to be integrated or connected to the existing other oil and gas business in the portfolio. It can also be possible that an investor is new to the industry which requires a revision or new to create business plan and asset management strategy.

Aging asset base

Many assets in the Oil and Gas industry are near the end of their initial design life. When assets are at the end of their lifecycle, several scenario’s have to be run to see what the most cost-effective and safe course of action is, being asset lifetime extension, run to failure or decommissioning. Based on the actual asset health, asset owners need to choose the best way to balance cost, risk and performance to optimize production results in the long term.

Industry 4.0 transformation

Digitalization and technical advancements offer many opportunities for asset performance management. The current climate demands companies to have a clear vision on which role Industry 4.0 can play for them. This also extends to the asset management strategy and implementation roadmap to realize that vision of Digital Transformation. Connected assets, the connected workforce, data and the bridging business logic (and Digital Twin) will accelerate asset performance growth.

Energy transition

The pressure on decreasing greenhouse gas emissions is growing rapidly. Sustainability and the energy transition are, therefore, hot topics. Asset management can influence the course by implementing strategies that improve uptime in the long term. By uniting Operations and Maintenance the efficiency of assets is further maximized as interdisciplinary collaboration encourages lasting performance improvements.
