Poor predictability of capital projects and maintenance events (turnarounds) have a long history in the Oil & Gas industry. Owing to this reason the project and turnaround outcomes often characterized by excessive overages on both budget and schedule. Asset Performance Networks has developed a set of web-based tools and industry comparison benchmarking capabilities that ensure readiness is optimized, leading to a significant improvement in project and turnaround performance. The approach is quite intuitive—better prepared teams achieve better event outcomes, and this has been quantified by Asset Performance Networks.
