About

When safety, reliability, and operational efficiency are paramount, oil and gas operators need innovations that reliably push the boundaries of performance. Insulation resistance monitoring is one of the most critical yet often overlooked aspects of electrical integrity in this field, a cornerstone of predictive maintenance and asset protection.

Bender technology continuously monitors unearthed electrical systems in oil, gas, and subsea applications. Insulation monitoring and fault location solutions provide real-time data, enable fault diagnosis, and provide advanced warnings for developing insulation faults. This prevents equipment failure and downtime, helping production managers and maintenance teams improve plant availability and oil and gas production output.

WHY ATTEND:

This workshop has been designed to introduce and gain feedback about our groundbreaking measurement principle, which aims to redefine how insulation resistance is monitored and managed. This solution shifts from the limitation of a single system-wide insulation resistance (IR) value to offering real-time, individual circuit-level IR values that empower operators with actionable insights, enhanced safety, and reduced downtime.

The financial case for advanced monitoring extends well beyond initial procurement costs. This technology is already well established in the rail sector, driving impressive returns, including reduced possession costs, delay penalties avoided, predictive maintenance scheduling, and emergency responses eliminated.

We'll be running two identical sessions; you can choose your preference on the booking form.
