That’s why Oil and Gas production dropped
It was in the year of 2020 that the oil and gas industries suffered a major crisis in their production due to the covid-19 pandemic. Although the problem becomes more evident with the pandemic, it goes back much further. Why is the oil industry at the mercy of its production? The problem is a little more complex than one thinks when we analyze oil extraction around the world. Basically, there are 2 most common types of production, they are: Onshore and Offshore. Onshore operations are less risky and require a lower investment cost due to their easier [...]

How to manage assets in a smarter way
Asset integrity management is the discipline responsible for the continuity and security of an industrial operation. No matter the industry or its sector, having effective and efficient integrity strategies is a daily challenge that is very important for everyone involved in the operation. Asset integrity is the discipline responsible for ensuring the health of thousands of components in a plant, process, or machine. It is through it that the operation is fed with information about overload in specific elements, or loss of productive capacity. The management is also responsible for ensuring performance and identifying failure mechanisms. Having a good [...]
