Combined maintenance and inspection strategy leads the way
SKF is helping TOTAL E&P Indonesia with its first maintenance and inspection strategy for one sea-based gas extraction plant and four land-based processing plants.
A
ll oil and gas exploration and processing projects should be supported with a tailored strategy for their maintenance and inspection requirements, and facilities should
be started up with their maintenance and inspection programme properly defined by function and should be readied in systems that will support the execution of that work. Tese are typically big support activities covering all equipment and their sub-assemblies. Such projects are also extremely complex due to the number of equipment tags that must be addressed, the level of detail for critical and vital equipment, and the accuracy of attention to ensure

expected operational uptime at the same time managing risks. Tat’s probably why until now such programme developments they have always been carried out as separate activities by most oil and gas companies. But now TOTAL, the French oil and gas
company, has taken the bold step to combine these Maintenance and Inspection Engineering (MIE) activities and has contracted SKF to develop the complete Engineering Strategy for its new Indonesian gas extraction and processing plants. Tasked with the challenge of managing this ‘new adventure’ Philippe Grosbois, Contract Manager for TOTAL, was enthusiastic and confident at just over the halfway stage of this two year project.
