Automating maintenance override switch report for upstream facilities

Title : Automating maintenance override switch report for upstream facilities

Abstract:

The presentation will include idea and methods of implemented an Auto Maintenance Override Switch (MOS) report for upstream facilities in Kuwait Oil Company, leveraging existing software that was not originally designed for this purpose. This innovative solution was developed without incurring any additional costs to the company. The Auto report is generated in network L4  that can viewed and accessed by different teams within the company.

By enhancing the existing system, we enabled real-time monitoring of overrides at gathering centers without the need for human intervention. This improvement provides better tracking, enhanced analysis, and more informed decision-making, ultimately strengthening facility integrity and personnel safety.

This initiative showcases how we can repurpose existing technology to create value-added solutions that improve operational efficiency, enhance safety measures, and optimize monitoring capabilities—all while maximizing the company’s existing resource, enhanced compliance and reduced incident rates, strengthened safety culture, safer work environment leading to higher morale.
