The Challenge

The operator was running two offshore platforms with legacy maintenance schedules built on time-based intervals developed at commissioning. Equipment criticality had shifted with production profile changes, and unplanned downtime on power generation and compression was creating production deferment and regulatory compliance risk.

Our Approach

Optimal deployed a structured RCM programme across both platforms simultaneously. Asset registers were validated against physical equipment, criticality assessments performed for all systems, and failure mode analysis applied to all rotating and static plant. The programme was executed by Optimal engineers working offshore in structured rotations.

What We Delivered

  • Full RCM analysis across 12 systems covering power generation, compression, process and utilities
  • Criticality ranking applied to 340+ equipment items across both platforms
  • CMMS-ready maintenance task library with frequencies, durations and trade requirements
  • Condition-based maintenance triggers established for critical rotating equipment
  • Maintenance schedule rationalisation — 22% reduction in man-hour demand with improved coverage

Outcome

The operator achieved a measurable reduction in unplanned downtime on power generation within six months of CMMS implementation. Maintenance planning confidence improved significantly, and the programme formed the basis for the operator’s ongoing reliability improvement strategy.
