The Impact of Lubrication on Safety

摘要

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