Case Study: Global Oil & Gas Company avoids tens of millions in lost production by replacing turbine 12 months early with GE Digital's SmartSignal

Global Oil & Gas Company Saves Millions Of Dollars By Replacing Turbine 12 Months Ahead Of Schedule

Global Oil & Gas Company, one of the world’s largest exploration and production firms, was operating very lean during a prolonged oil-price slump and failed to effectively monitor an operational parameter, allowing turbine degradation to go unnoticed. GE Digital’s SmartSignal and monitoring service (via the Industrial Performance & Reliability Center) identified the issue before a hard alarm or catastrophic failure occurred.

GE Digital’s IPRC Rapid Response team detected machine stress, briefed the customer on likely root causes, and helped prioritize inspections; the customer then replaced the faulty turbine 12 months ahead of schedule during planned downtime. GE Digital’s early detection and collaboration enabled the Global Oil & Gas Company to avoid mechanical damage and tens of millions of dollars in lost production.
