When

Plants and downstream facilities require high levels of maintenance, monitoring, inspection and overall integrity management to ensure that shutdowns are minimized. With issues like corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, weld failure and erosion being cited as the main causes of failure, it is important that all organizations focus on managing these to ensure extended life cycle.

After two highly successful Global Annual Plant Maintenance Workshops in Egypt and Istanbul, Praxis brings the highly technical and coveted workshop to the Latin America!

Previous Executive Steering Committee Members include senior experts from SAUDI ARAMCO, TAKREER, CHEVRON, PETROBRAS, WEATHERFORD, PETROLEUM DEVELOPMENT OF OMAN, ENOC, BAYERNOIL, MOL QATAR PETROLEUM, KUWAIT OIL COMPANY, ADCO, BAKER HUGHES, PDVSA, OMV, SCHLUMBERGER, NIGERIA LNG, RASGAS.

Topics being addressed include:

• Predictive and preventive maintenance to increase productivity
• Planning and auditing procedures for maintenance management systems
• Rotating equipment integration
• Risk management
• Managing plant shutdowns and turnarounds
• Reducing maintenance costs without increasing safety risks
• Reliability management and processes
• Corrosion
• Root cause analysis techniques
• Ageing and life extension - Managing aged plants and delayed decommissioning
• Extended emergency shutdowns to replace major failed equipment
• Systems and techniques for continued management of equipment from initial stages
• Failure investigation and follow up
• Managing multi phase flow
• Reporting processes and structure/procedure
• Reliability software and technologies – state of the art maintenance tools and equipment at plants
