Abstract : The success of oil and gas operations relies significantly on efficient management and control of the operating expenses. It has been established that unplanned plant shutdown accounts for nearly half of the overall losses of an oil facility. These unplanned shutdowns usually result from unexpected equipment breakdown due to poor maintenance strategy or culture. Therefore, Equipment maintenance is essential in most industrial sector. In the case of oil and gas operation, unplanned shutdown or downtime immediately have significant impact on the commercial bottom-line due to the size of the operation. Equipment maintenance should be considered more in the oil sector because of the high cost of purchasing equipment. This study is aimed at developing maintenance model for effective equipment management for gas treatment plant. A delay time degradation model was proposed and considered aging of equipment, replacement and repair actions. The results showed that the proposed model was capable of planning preventive maintenance schedules for a gas processing plant.
