Asset Integrity 2.0 addresses one of the most serious challenges facing oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and process facilities worldwide. Many plants and pipelines are operating well beyond their original design life under harsher conditions and stricter regulatory expectations. Failures from corrosion, fatigue, erosion, or mechanical degradation can quickly escalate
Heat exchangers are among the most critical pieces of equipment in refineries, petrochemical plants, power plants, and chemical processing units. They operate continuously under high temperature and pressure conditions, making them vulnerable to performance degradation over time. Among all operational challenges, fouling remains the most persistent and costly issue. It
The oil & gas sector is in a period of fast, sometimes turbulent change. In 2025, companies face a unique mix of pressures — from decarbonization targets and geopolitical shifts to rapid digitalization and shifting labor markets. These forces aren’t just changing strategy and capital allocation; they’re transforming the people
The oil and gas industry plays a crucial role in powering the global economy. From fueling vehicles to generating electricity and producing petrochemical products, oil and gas remain essential energy resources. Behind every drop of fuel that reaches consumers lies a complex and highly coordinated process — known as the
The oil and gas industry has always been driven by technological innovation, but the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming operations at an unprecedented pace—particularly in upstream exploration and production (E&P). From automating data analysis to optimizing drilling operations, AI is enabling energy companies to make smarter, faster,
In industries like oil & gas, petrochemicals, and power generation, aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) are vital for storing crude oil, refined products, and chemicals. However, over time, these tanks face corrosion, fatigue, and mechanical stress — increasing the risk of leaks or catastrophic failures. This is where API 653 –
Introduction: The Silent Threat in Pipelines Internal corrosion is one of the leading threats to pipeline safety, reliability, and operating costs. It is responsible for up to 30% of pipeline failures in oil and gas operations, leading to unplanned downtime, environmental incidents, and regulatory scrutiny. When liquids, water, CO₂, H₂S,
Corrosion remains one of the most expensive and persistent challenges in the oil & gas industry. From wellbores and pipelines to refineries and offshore platforms, corrosion threatens asset integrity, safety, and production efficiency. According to NACE (now AMPP), the global cost of corrosion exceeds $2.5 trillion annually, with the oil
In the oil and gas industry, rotating equipment forms the mechanical backbone of operations. From upstream drilling rigs to downstream refineries, machines such as pumps, compressors, turbines, and motors keep facilities running efficiently. Any failure in these critical assets can disrupt production, trigger safety incidents, and cause costly downtime. As
A fired heater, also called a process heater or refinery furnace, is an industrial system designed to heat process fluids to precise operating temperatures. It burns fuels such as natural gas, refinery gas, or fuel oil, transferring heat through coils or tubes via radiant and convective heat transfer. Primary Function:
