DECARBON 2025: How predictive maintenance paves the way to net-zero

 

The Oil and Gas Decarbonisation Congress (DECARBON) unites decision makers to share their viewpoints and companies experience on using advanced tools to decarbonise the industry operations. Predictive maintenance is a highlight among the topics of the Congress. Being hosted by BGS Group, DECARBON is held in Berlin, Germany, on 10-11 February 2025.

In recent years, technology has progressed enough to develop solutions that optimise maintenance in the oil and gas operations. One of these solutions is predictive maintenance, which is widely implemented in the companies operations to minimise the failures and reduce energy consumption.

For example, BASF, who is in the list of participants of DECARBON 2025, uses predictive maintenance and AI to support climate neutrality and a circular economy by automatically calculating product-specific carbon footprints or improving management of value chains. The company also developed an application to predict and reduce unplanned repairs and failures, and to optimise the coordination of maintenance and production processes.

To share the companies experience on implementing predictive maintenance technologies for decarbonising the operations, representatives from EPCs, oil and gas companies, refineries and service providers joins the roundtable on the first day of DECARBON 2025.

The roundtable is a closed-door session, with the limited number of participants, focuses on discussions between audience and speakers. The conversation is going to be focused on prevention of asset failures with AI, ML, VR, AR as well as advanced control and monitoring tools, optimisation of planned maintenance, data measurement and analytics management.

One of the speaker of that day, Christian Gärtner, General Manager of MIYAWAKI, presents  software designed to manage steam networks. This software can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by conducting steam network audits. The analysis of the data reveals the extent of current and ongoing steam loss.

This includes not only the amount of steam lost, but also the associated financial impact, environmental consequences, and overall system performance. Joining Christian Gärtner at the roundtable, a speaker from the company HAPTICA, Giuseppe Tussiwand, Managing Director, shares the results of pipeline performance and integrity using “strap-on” digital sensors.

The Oil and Gas Decarbonisation Congress 2025 is a platform for decision-makers and experienced technical specialists of the oil and gas industry to expand professional network and work together on decarbonised future. Culled From Oilandgas360.com
