Aker BP STMF — Data-Driven Reliability Optimisation
Frac pumps were inspected and HP iron pressure-tested after every offshore stimulation — adding 10 hours per zone. Wear and failure data, validated by Monte Carlo simulation, confirmed the wear was non-critical. A defined threshold allowed pumps to run through Zone 3 before inspection, shifting from conservative intervention to controlled run-to-limit. A predictive model now forecasts valve life based on sand type, pressure, rate and fluid viscosity.
