The challenge of aging

Keeping critical infrastructure operational as it continues to age is one of the key challenges facing the oil and gas industry today. While the context is very different, the challenge is not unfamiliar - much like anti-aging strategies, the focus is not on stopping time, but on managing its effects and extending performance.

Yet across many oil and gas facilities worldwide, pipelines, tanks, refineries and industrial plants are operating beyond their original design life, becoming increasingly exposed to risk as they age. For asset integrity and maintenance teams, the role is not just about maintenance - it is about planning and strategic investment in technologies that keep these essential assets running safely and reliably for decades to come.

Henkel offers a variety of 'anti-aging' solutions to ensure oil and gas infrastructure remains safe, reliable and operational long into the future, we explore more in this article in the June edition of International Oil & Gas Engineer.
