Meet SGS at the 2nd Oil & Gas Maintenance Technology North America Conference in New Orleans, USA

SGS presents a paper at the 2nd Oil & Gas Maintenance Technology North America Conference to be held from August 31 to September 2, 2010 in New Orleans, USA. The presentation entitled A Systematic Approach to Enhance Inspection-Maintenance Communication and Performance, will be given by Dr. Paul F. Schubert on September 1, 2010. The services offered by SGS will be presented throughout the exhibition at booth number 210.

Dr. Paul F. Schubert is an independent Asset Integrity Management expert with 26 years of experience in the petrochemical and natural gas industry. He is the inventor of 14 US Patents, and has published over 40 technical articles. His presentation at the OGMT will focus on a methodology which utilizes the knowledge base of the inspection, maintenance and engineering departments. The described process results in a system which provides key performance indicators for inspection and maintenance programs, facilitates knowledge transfer from senior personnel to junior personnel, retains corporate intellectual property and reduces the time between inspection and remediation. Additionally, it provides a means to evaluate the ability of current resources and to address the required maintenance, which can then be used for budgeting purposes.

The Oil and Gas Maintenance Technology North America Conference, organized by PennWell, is the only maintenance and reliability conference and exhibition geared exclusively to the oil and gas industry in North America. Now in its second year, OGMTNA showcases the best ways to address critical performance concerns. This three-day event attracts maintenance and reliability professionals and showcases technologies and products from dozens of companies involved in the industry.
