Asset Performance Management Helps Oil and Gas Companies Increase Asset Availability, Improve Uptime and Empower More Intelligent Decision Making

摘要

Acquiring the right information to lengthen the life span and improve the availability of production assets, including rotating equipment, is fundamental for oil and gas companies seeking to improve production and boost their bottom line. The complex nature of energy production, coupled with the large investments in assets by operating and production companies, make the need to optimize asset performance greater than ever. Companies that have embarked on the journey toward production improvements are at a turning point. They've seen the early benefits from investing in asset management technologies and now are looking for ways to leverage operational metrics in conjunction with financial metrics to optimize performance across the enterprise. Asset performance management (APM), which empowers decision-making and aligns operations, maintenance and business strategies, is the focus of this paper--an information-enabled APM solution aligns data throughout the enterprise with automated analytics, enabling more accurate decision-making while helping to achieve optimum performance.
