A failure of an electrical generator in an Oil and Gas project can be a very costly affair, especially if it happens suddenly. If you lose power to critical production systems, or even to staff facilities, it can cause disruptions costing up to millions of dollars a day. Even the time taken to rectify the problem is time taken away from doing other duties, leading to loss of productivity among critical staff and managerial resources. If you are caught up in this situation, you want to know how to quickly find a solution and also prevent this from happening again. Here is a walk-through of how to find rapid replacement for your failed power on your project.
Step 1: Assess the Situation
The first step to a solution to the problem is to fully understand its scope. What equipment and what systems have failed? What systems have priority over others? Have we located the source of the problem?
Step 2: Take a Census of Available Resources
The next step is to take inventory of what resources are on hand to fix the problem. Can lower priority systems be re-routed to power-up higher priority systems? What budget do we have available to dedicate to finding a solution, both in the immediate and the longer-term to prevent this from happening again? Once you have a clear picture of the resources that can be potentially brought to bear, you can quickly formulate a roadmap to a solution.
Step 3: Determine Desired Delivery and Implementation Timing
How fast does the problem need to be solved? What dependencies are affected by the delivery and implementation of the solution? These are questions that should be asked when determining an optimal timeframe for procuring and installing your replacement generator equipment.
Step 4: Find a Partner With The Capacity To Deliver On Your Requirements
Knowing what you need and when you need it is only part of the way to a solution.
