The Impact of Lubrication on Safety

摘要

Maintaining a safe offshore operating environment is becoming increasingly difficult, as producers are pushing their equipment harder to achieve their productivity goals. In this context, maintaining the required safety environment requires a robust lubrication program that can protect equipment from extreme operating conditions and maximize that equipment's availability, thus reducing the need for human-machine interaction (HMI) and enhancing the safety of maintenance personnel. This paper will provide guidance on how operators can maintain a high standard of operational safety in the face of the ever-increasing complexity and challenging conditions of offshore operating environments. The paper will outline how producers can design a robust lubrication approach - incorporating key lubricant technology considerations and expert technical services to help enhance the reliability and availability of their equipment.
