2019 - BP, Khazzan Project, Oman
Summary
The BP Khazzan Project is one of the largest tight gas projects in the Middle East, aiming to extract gas from deep, low-permeability reservoirs. The project involves extensive gas processing and compression facilities to handle high-pressure operations.
Challanges
The primary challenge was ensuring the reliability and availability of gas processing and compression units operating under extreme pressure conditions. Additionally, the project had to meet stringent safety and operational efficiency standards while optimizing long-term maintenance strategies.
Solution
Conducted a full RAM analysis to evaluate system bottlenecks and improve equipment uptime.
Developed predictive maintenance strategies using real-time monitoring to reduce unplanned failures.
Facilitated FMECA workshops to prioritize equipment criticality and optimize maintenance schedules.
Applied fault tree analysis (FTA) to assess potential system failures and their impact on production efficiency.
