Abstract :
The success of oil and gas operations relies
significantly on efficient management and control of the
operating expenses. It has been established that
unplanned plant shutdown accounts for nearly half of
the overall losses of an oil facility. These unplanned
shutdowns usually result from unexpected equipment
breakdown due to poor maintenance strategy or culture.
Therefore, Equipment maintenance is essential in most
industrial sector. In the case of oil and gas operation,
unplanned shutdown or downtime immediately have
significant impact on the commercial bottom-line due to
the size of the operation. Equipment maintenance should
be considered more in the oil sector because of the high
cost of purchasing equipment. This study is aimed at
developing maintenance model for effective equipment
management for gas treatment plant. A delay time
degradation model was proposed and considered aging
of equipment, replacement and repair actions. The
results showed that the proposed model was capable of
planning preventive maintenance schedules for a gas
processing plant.
