Winters can be harsh and wreak havoc on oil and gas extraction systems. It’s essential for plant operators to properly winterize their assets against extreme temperatures to prevent product viscosity and keep their resources moving.
Many oil and gas plants have a winterization plan in place for the different parts of their systems. However, these plans typically involve several companies taking care of the various aspects of the system. This approach results in a winterization strategy that is often disjointed and lacking synergy between the different electrical, insulation, rope access, and scaffolding contractors.
When scopes are segregated in this manner, the results can add up to increased costs, lost productivity, and no accountability. Communications can easily break down, and coordinating tasks between the contractors can be a frustrating waste of time and resources. Worst of all, there is also an elevated risk of fluid viscosity, crystallization, or condensation – a situation that can cost you thousands in avoidable production downtime and repair costs.
Your system needs to operate as a seamless whole to maximize efficiency all year round. Therefore, your winterization program needs to perform as one holistic solution to ensure that your system is protected against deep freeze, keep production moving, and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
