Introduction

“The Centre for Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) is an independent forum for the

establishment, promotion and distribution of CBM best practices in the Oil and Gas

industry. The Centre is based at The Robert Gordon University and draws on the skills and

experience of industry leaders in CBM to provide the direction for the Centre.“

Maintenance strategies

•CBM

•Detective Maintenance(fault finding actions)

•Preventative Maintenance (scheduled replacement)

•Breakdown Maintenance(let it fail)

1960’s

Maintenance history

•Breakdown maintenance predominant

•Some time based maintenance

•Little or no link between design, operation and maintenance

•Low levels of learning

•Individual (and expensive) solutions to serious failures

1970’s

•Driven by some severe incidents and increased demand on old plant

•Application of Time & Motion studies and basic Quality Control

•Fixed intervals and resources

•Often good parts replaced

Maintenance history

•Planned maintenance for more critical equipment

1980’s

Maintenance history

•Condition based maintenance introduced•Mostly dynamic (rotating) equipment•Vibration analysis main tool

•Understanding of plant degradation mechanisms improving

•Some basic reliability analysis undertaken; bathtub curve, MTBF

1990’s

Maintenance history

•CBM increased in popularity

•Extended to static plant

•Range of tools and techniques increased

•Maintenance cost savings achieved

•Technology improvements

Now...

CBM and Oil and Gas

•Perception of stagnation

•No real innovation for 10+ years

•CBM not achieving projected benefits

•New technologies not being exploited (DCS etc.)

•Lack of cohesion and integration

Now...

•Where next...?

•What are the opportunities for improvement?

•What are others doing that can expedite the process?

•How can these opportunities be exploited?

CBM and Oil and Gas

Hence the reason we’re here today!
