An upstream and midstream gas operator identified excessive turnaround durations across three natural gas assets, averaging 14 days per production train and causing significant production losses. A structured turnaround improvement program evaluated maintenance practices, operational processes, and organizational collaboration. The assessment identified scheduling constraints, limited workforce allocation, and poor coordination as major contributors to delays. By implementing a revised maintenance and turnaround strategy with stronger project management, KPI tracking, and improved planning, turnaround durations could be reduced by 2–3 days and intervals extended from four to six years. The improvement could increase production by roughly 60 Mcf/d per event and generate an estimated $25 million in additional revenue.
