Equipment operations encompass the use, maintenance, and oversight of machinery and systems involved in the oil and gas industry, from manufacturing to construction. This includes tasks like operating, monitoring, and maintaining equipment to ensure efficient and safe functionality.

Here's a breakdown of key aspects:

  • 1. Types of Equipment Operations:

    • Heavy Equipment:
    • This involves operating of all sizes or gas compressors and the associated site equipment such as instrument air compressor, pumps and control systems.

    • Machine Operations:
    • This focuses on the operation of machinery used production processes, including setting up, monitoring, and maintaining equipment.

    • Plant Operations:
    • This involves the operation of equipment within plants (e.g., Generators and gas compressors) to ensure processes run smoothly and efficiently, with a focus on maximising production and minimising downtime

  • 2. Key Activities in Equipment Operations:

    • Operating Equipment:
    • This involves the safe and efficient use of machinery according to manufacturer's instructions and established procedures.

    • Monitoring Equipment:
    • This includes observing equipment performance, identifying potential problems, and ensuring proper functioning.

    • Maintaining Equipment:
    • This involves routine maintenance, repairs, and ensuring the equipment is in optimal condition for operation.

    • Troubleshooting:
    • This includes identifying and resolving issues that arise during equipment operation.

    • Safety:
    • Ensuring all operations are conducted safely and adhering to safety protocols and guidelines.

  • 3. Importance of Equipment Operations:

    • Efficiency and Productivity:
    • Proper equipment operation is crucial for maximizing productivity and minimizing downtime.

    • Cost Management:
    • Efficient operations can help reduce operational costs by optimizing resource utilization and preventing equipment damage.

    • Safety:
    • Safe equipment operation practices are essential for protecting workers and preventing accidents.

    • Inventory management:
    • All rotating equipment requires spare parts and as well as operations and maintenance we manage the spare parts inventory to ensure the correct levels of stock holdings are maintained.
