Oil & Gas Company Improves Maintenance Strategy for Mainline Units
In the competitive world of oil and gas operations, equipment uptime is critical. A leading client in North America engaged Nexus Global to perform an on-site strategy review of their Planned Maintenance (PM) activities for several mainline units. The client recognized that their existing PM strategy was outdated and sought a more robust and cost-effective approach to drive improvement.
The primary objective of this review was clear: maximize equipment uptime while minimizing maintenance costs—all without compromising safety or reliability. With 33 identical mainline units in operation, the opportunity was significant. Any improvements or cost savings identified through the new strategy would not only strengthen the performance of a single unit but could be applied across the entire system for greater impact.
Nexus Global approached the challenge by aligning the client’s maintenance strategy with proven methodologies in Strategy Management and Asset Performance Management (APM). The new framework ensured that preventive maintenance activities were optimized, labor resources were better utilized, and downtime risks were reduced. By identifying inefficiencies and standardizing best practices, the strategy created a sustainable path forward for the client’s operations.
This case study demonstrates how thoughtful strategy management can deliver long-term benefits for oil and gas companies worldwide, particularly those facing the challenge of maintaining high-demand, mission-critical assets.
