In recent years, the merger and acquisition activities of the operating companies, contracting companies and manufacturing companies within the Oil and Gas and Industrial Gas industries has resulted in early retirements of key personnel and staff reductions. This has had a major impact on the knowledge base of these industries.

In addition, the highly competitive nature of some sectors such as air separation and hydrogen production and the lack of commercialisation of others such as Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) has meant that many projects have been financially analysed on the basis of low estimated capital costs, unachievable predicted power consumption, questionable schedules and unachievable availability and reliability assumptions.

The consequence has been selection of inappropriate equipment, excessive power consumption, equipment failures, project over runs and  lack of knowledge of the operating staff charged with the responsibility of operating critical equipment for a period of 20 years.

Compressor Consulting and Associates recognises these problems and has the experience to mitigate the risks associated with them and to help you ensure that your projects are successful.
