Plant Turnarounds – Is Inaccurate Documentation Costing You Money?
Based on a running poll over 91% of participants have indicated Plant Turnarounds overrun by over 5% due to inaccurate documentation.
For an oil refinery processing 45,000 bpd (barrels per day) the value of lost production on a 20 day turnaround would equal $3.2m lost revenue based on current oil prices!
