HOUSTON, March 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- (CERAWeek) - Azima, the global leader in Production Uptime Management, today released details of a presentation given this morning by its Chief Executive Officer, Burt Hurlock, at CERAWeek 2017 in Houston, TX.  

Speaking to an audience of energy industry leaders, regulators, and policymakers, Mr. Hurlock challenged the energy industry to use cloud-based data & analytics applications to literally "turn data into dollars." 

According to Mr. Hurlock, "[c]loud-based vibration analysis can predict major equipment failure months in advance.  The science is proven.  It's already working in the field."  Giving specific real-world examples, Hurlock stated that industry innovation-leaders are already using Predictive Maintenance technologies to:

  • Double the useful life of capital equipment & assets.
  • Completely eliminate unplanned capex spending for replacement & repairs.

According to one industry observer who attended Azima's presentation: "With crude oil at $50 per barrel, we can't afford to ignore proven technologies that maximize production uptime and minimize unplanned downtime.  As an industry, we need to turn every machine into a cash machine."
