Shutdown & Turnaround Maintenance

Refinery turnaround activities

With the world now completely reliant on oil and gas, planned cessations are a necessary part of the refining process. These turnarounds can be due to a need for maintaining, renovating, or refitting facilities – usually every four years or so. Turnaround activities require well-organised labor and equipment for a few weeks at a time – the duration of which are usually measured in shifts. Most facilities will be inspected during shutdowns and turnarounds, and so may have their turnaround extended if additional issues are flagged.

Extending turnaround activities may result in fuel shortages, price increases, or both. Strain is increased on other suppliers to meet demands, and turnarounds which become shutdowns can be catastrophic for supply at a regional level.

Turnaround activities may include preventative care of equipment, general corrective repair of faults, strip-downs, complete replacement and overhaul, or maintenance.

Refinery shutdown activities

Unlike turnarounds, shutdowns are not always planned. Often, if supplies of natural gas or other reagents needed for the manufacture of gasoline are lacking, refineries will simply grind to a halt. These supplies can be found wanting if the natural resources are scarce, or prices are simply too high – often, one as a result of the other. Shutdowns and turnarounds can also occur when accidents, natural disasters, terror threats, or political upheavals occur.

Shutdowns and turnarounds (and outages)

Outages are the third and most-often overlooked type of shutdown activity.  Unlike shutdowns, outages don’t occur in an effort to protect equipment or personnel. They happen when power supplies are interrupted, equipment breaks down, or deliveries fail to arrive. They are also (usually) much shorter in duration.

The goal for all types of interruption should be to achieve a return to normal process within time (difficult in outages), on budget, with no harm to staff, and with as little unplanned work as possible. Additional goals often include a forward plan which should aim to extend the period between shutdowns, and set out how to implement short, targeted periods of maintenance.

Shutdown and turnaround managers are few and far between, and a smooth cessation and resumption of business is a difficult thing to achieve.

Planning successful shutdowns and turnarounds

Good planning is often the key to success, and with shutdowns and turnarounds, it is no less true. With an average duration of between three and six years, major shutdowns are dependent upon research into other similar events within the company and similar operators, cooperation across divisions and teams, and the very best industry knowledge. All major oil and gas companies are committed to developing both their scientific and service knowledge, ensuring that shutdowns prioritize what is best from a technical and customer point of view.

Equipment in need of maintenance, repair, or replacement should all be identified in advance, and the necessary resources, equipment, and personnel prepared on the back of this. A base analysis of a refinery will give an overview of the scope and duration of any shutdowns and turnaround needed. Last-minute changes and alterations may still occur, but with strong planning, deviations can be accommodated safely.

Evaluating shutdown and turnaround activities

Often, the best way to plan ahead for a shutdown or turnaround is to evaluate as soon as one has been completed. This will allow a company to learn from any mistakes, and to have a plan laid out years in advance. Not only are these events engineering- and maintenance-led, but they have significant impacts on all parts of the business – from the shareholders to the suppliers.

As entire business events, they can make or break teams, KPIs, budgets, performances, and entire companies. Because they are cyclical, these outages should be dealt with as holistically as possible, and not treated simply as a break in normal proceedings.

Risks: how not to proceed

There are a few key areas to focus on when proceeding with an STO.

1. Ensuring all STO personnel are safe – this includes everyone from management to sub-contractors,
2. Keeping the project to an appropriate timescale and extent – including the risk of misallocating resources or overworking on unnecessary tasks,
3. Staying within budget – including the need to account for everyone’s time and energies: a sloppy budget will cause a sloppy TAR,
4. Coordination of logistics – including the monitoring of external workers who may be unfamiliar with processes and the STO site, and
5. Evaluation – including the collection of data metrics and the ultimate goal of improving business performance.

Crucially, all shutdowns and turnarounds should be well-defined, planned realistically, and executed efficiently. Failure to fully realize any one stage of the STO process could result in delays, costs, and potential damage to the business.

Understanding your turnaround activities

Before planning or implementing a shutdown or turnaround, all interested parties should be contacted and involved – opening communication across the business and beginning the process of identifying the scope of the project. All elements of the process should be planned and assessed, and the key decision makers should then be able to make a call on whether or not this clear set of objectives are attainable.

Planning your shutdown or turnaround

Smart and extensive planning is the key to a successful turnaround and shutdown. Equipment in need of maintenance, repair, or replacement should all be acknowledged in advance. A base analysis of a refinery will give an overview of the scope and duration of any shutdowns and turnarounds needed. Last-minute modifications may still occur, but with detailed planning, most changes can be made safely.

A turnaround typically includes the following phases:

• Strategic Planning
• Detailed Planning
• Organizing
• Execution
• Closeout

Strategic Planning is the most comprehensive phase of planning, it is simply an overview of what is planned and how it will be accomplished. 

During the Detailed Planning phase, the specifics are put into place and the plan becomes more concrete. In the Organizing phase, work and tasks are distributed to those who are involved in the turnaround- there can be hundreds or even thousands of people involved. The Execution phase is the actual turnaround itself, during this phase safety and attention to detail are crucial. The Closeout phase consists of reporting the results collected from the entire turnaround process. The best way to plan ahead for a shutdown or turnaround is to evaluate immediately after the activities are completed. This allows the company to learn from any mistakes and set out a detailed plan moving forward.

Services Used During Turnarounds

As mentioned, turnarounds and shutdowns require a large team. And most turnarounds need to contract out a number of third-party companies that help execute the turnaround plan. Teams can be made up of hundreds or even thousands of site workers and contractors depending on how complex the project is. Some of these third-party companies may include:

• Boiler Trucks
• Electricians
• Equipment rentals
• Welders
• Mechanics
• Waste disposal
• Engineers
• Design and construction companies
• Maintenance support
• Management Personnel
• Cost control administration
• Utility Heating & Steam Support

Although most companies dread having to plan and execute a turnaround, it is crucial to the functionality of the oil and gas operation. Without turnarounds, numerous issues can arise during production, which can result in even more dangerous, expensive, and serious issues when it comes to workers, staff, production, and equipment. It’s important to stay on track and schedule your turnarounds periodically.
