Improving reliability, safety, and sustainability across 110,000+ assets

About our customer: OQ Upstream

Increasing Asset Reliability and Sustainability

A global strategic management company based in Oman, OQ Upstream has operations in 17 countries. To assist in managing 110,000 maintainable assets, 44 plants and stations, and over 4,300 kilometers of pipeline across Oman, OQ engaged Bentley to digitize asset maintenance and reliability processes, ensuring asset integrity, cost efficiency, and optimal plant operations.

Streamlining Asset Maintenance Workflows

With a focus on strategic asset management, OQ wanted to develop a centralized digital system to enable identification and understanding of asset failure modes, improve asset maintenance and reporting strategies, and streamline workflows and data coordination among multiple disciplines. AssetWise APM, a central digital platform accessible by the internal team, field operations, and stakeholders, solved the problem of data management, storage, and analysis and offered customization to meet OQ’s dynamic business needs.
