How Cognite Data Fusion™ supports Wintershall Dea's rotating equipment experts

Wintershall Dea used Cognite Data Fusion™ to free up time that rotating equipment experts normally spent accessing different systems to collect data. Those experts can now reinvest that time in activities that generate value.

Find an easy way to view rotating equipment data

At Wintershall Dea’s installations at the Mittelplate oil field off the coast of Germany, injection pumps help maintain the proper pressure in reservoirs, and multiphase pumps export oil, gas, and water to the Dieksand onshore facility. These types of pumps are just two examples of critical rotating equipment that must be in good working condition for the production at Germany’s largest oil field to run smoothly.

Wintershall Dea’s maintenance experts currently lacked an easy way of viewing rotating equipment data. Quick access to sensor data trends, equipment status, and key performance indicators could help them perform daily analyses, optimize operations, and avoid costly repairs.

Wintershall Dea’s rotating equipment maintenance experts estimate that the dashboards will help them save 7-10 hours a week by eliminating time that would normally be spent accessing different systems to collect information.

With greater access to data and more time at their disposal, the maintenance experts can optimize Wintershall Dea’s operations for greater throughput, identify maintenance issues before they cause equipment failure, and increase safety at the company’s installations.
