Summary

Rotating Equipment OEMs in the oil & gas and energy industries already leverage digital monitoring tools and applications for the fleet support for customers and operators.
Such applications are usually composed by 3 modules that ensure full monitoring and prediction of assets performance degradation, in detail:
a) Anomaly detection
b) Failure mode and effect analysis with associated severity assessment
c) Maintenance task optimization
These modules are predominantly based on OEM know-how covered by design-based analytics and supported by case management systems, with the support of certain hybrid techniques for powering up their response performance with the utilization of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning methods1. Such capabilities enable condition based maintenance approach that allow operators to optimize maintenance costs and have visibility on unplanned event risk.
In the LNG space, with such approaches and in conjunction with certain contractual service agreements’ models, OEMs can guarantee performances with equipment reliability above 99%. The current trend in the LNG industry, progressively adopted by other critical segments such as upstream and fertilizers, is to expand such approach from critical equipment to a plant-wide model, where the same high-level data quality and performance model run by single OEMs can be expanded to other OEMs, process equipment and Balance of Plant (“BoP”) for having a one-stop solution with a system-of-systems strategy at project level, defining a Digital Predictive Maintenance Solution for LNG assets.
