Desarrollo de un modelo de análisis de fallas, jerarquización de activos críticos y riesgos para el mejoramiento de la eficiencia en la gestión del mantenimiento de la estación de bombeo Amazonas de OCP Ecuador

Abstract

The difficulties currently facing the oil sector to global and national levels by low oil prices have also impacted Heavy Crude Pipeline Ecuador (OCP) with budget cuts. In order to respond to the problems, it is raised the objective to develop a model of analysis of failure modes, critical assets classification and risks to improve efficiency in the Amazon pumping station OCP Ecuador. The developed methodology consists of four phases, starting with the diagnosis of the current situation, identifying and standardizing the failure modes, prioritizing critical assets for operations and these interact with the risk based management in this way the management is guided to the assets really need to be intervened knowing their impact and consequences. The application of the model showed a saving of 20% in the costs of corrective maintenance in the year 2015 year compared to 2014. The current work concludes that the research improved the efficiency in management of maintenance of the Amazon pumping station; therefore it recommends extending the application of the model to other pumping stations from other pipelines.
