Shutdowns and Turnarounds 2014

It's estimated about half of all shutdown projects are delayed by more than 20%; about 80% go over budget by more than 10% and frighteningly; work scope in some cases can increase unexpectedly by up to 50%.

We don't envy you this task.

But while the risks and costs of an STO are well documented the positives can often be over-looked…an increase in equipment asset reliability, continued production integrity and of course a significant reduction in the risk of unscheduled outages or catastrophic failures.

There is so much at stake; so much to gain or lose. That's why Oil & Gas IQ is pleased to announce the dates for Shutdowns and Turnarounds Asia 2014, on 24-25 June in Kula Lumpur Malaysia.

Now in its 11th year globally, I'm afraid this event can't promise you any magic pills or formulas to instantly solve your issues – we know it's not that easy! But once again it will bring together a community of seasoned STO professionals to share the very latest best practice on:

• Planning and scheduling
• Upfront risk identification  
• Work scope and contractor management
• Balancing costs control with minimization of down time
• Applying process safety

Our speakers and attendees understand that even a 1% improvement in their ability to plan, execute and manage their shutdown performance can save significant sums of money.
