Case Study: BP achieves enhanced plant safety and prevents compressor failure with GE Digital's real-time condition monitoring

Enhancing The Safety Of Plant Operations

BP was operating a multistage centrifugal natural gas compressor at significantly reduced loads and had deployed real-time condition monitoring and anomaly detection technologies to improve offshore rotating equipment reliability. The monitoring and diagnostic capability was provided by GE Digital’s software platform.

GE Digital’s software flagged the compressor instability early and enabled deeper diagnostic confirmation, allowing BP teams to be notified and take prompt action. As a result, BP avoided compressor failure and unplanned shutdowns, prevented lost production, and enhanced plant safety through rapid regional information sharing.
