Case Study: Global Oil & Gas Company achieves multi-million‑dollar production loss avoidance by proactively repairing damaged turbine blades with GE Digital

Global Oil & Gas Company Avoids Catastrophe By Proactively Repairing Damaged Blades

Global Oil & Gas Company was operating extremely lean amid volatile markets and could not monitor hundreds of turbine sensors daily, allowing maintenance problems to go unnoticed. GE Digital was engaged, using its SmartSignal condition‑monitoring service and Availability & Performance Center to provide remote anomaly detection and expert fleet‑level monitoring.

GE Digital’s SmartSignal detected increased vibrations, remotely monitored the turbine, and recommended a borescope inspection; the inspection found damaged blades that were repaired during a planned outage. GE Digital’s proactive intervention avoided an estimated 5 days of production loss and prevented potential tens of millions of dollars in lost production and mechanical damage.
