WHAT IS IMBU?
IMBU monitors assets. Data is aggregated by machine type and by location. This results in a “helicopter” view of your assets and their operation.
OIL & GAS
IMBU is used by Oil and Gas Operators who have a mix of pumps, compressors, turbines, diesel- and gas-engines divided through multiple field locations.

WHO USES IMBU?
IMBU is used by any organization operating many assets divided in machine-groups and location-groups.
examples
- Oil and Gas Operators who have a mix of pumps, compressors, turbines, diesel- and gas-engines divided through multiple field locations...
- Rental companies use IMBU to check-out location & crytical operation parameters of their rental fleet.
- Mining companies who operate heavy machinery use IMBU to monitor availability & used capacity of their assets.
- Any company owning a (large) number of assets, vital to their operation, may use IMBU to keep track of their performance.

Steve uses IMBU to check if availability improvement programs are paying off.
He just checked overall availability over the past 3 month and noticed a 0.8% increase in overall availability. This has led to a signicant decrease of the amount of flared gas resulting in lower fines from the government.
examples of data available for each location:
- average availability of all assets (%)
- total amount of flared gas (m3/hr)
- total produced oil (barrels per day)

OIL & GAS
George is operations supervisor. He uses IMBU to determine if agreed KPI's on oil and power production are met.
Jim informed him about the compressor outage yesterday. Using IMBU, George sees this has
not affected turbine operation.
JIM
individual assets
Turbine group:
- average availability (%)
- total performance (MW)
Compressor group:
- average availability (%)
- total compressed gas (nm3)
Well heads:
- average availability (%)
- total production (bpd)
Any critical parameters like asset RPM, gas-flow and oil-flow can be monitored & trended at this level.
Data that is gathered
TURBINES - availability (%), performance (KW)
COMPRESSORS - availability (%),
vibration levels (m/s2)
WELLHEADS - availability (%),
production level (bpd)
As maintenance manager, Jim is
responsible for 2 sites, ca. 1 hr drive from each other. Total availability of assets is one
of his KPI's which is why he keeps close track of this.
Yesterday a compressor was down due to valve damage. He has requested his crew to get the unit up and running asap as this unit is critical for the rest of the operation. Using IMBU, Jim sees his crew managed to get the compressor up and running.

overall: average availability of all assets
Ernie uses IMBU to track if oil and gas production targets are met for the whole oil and gas operation.
IMBU also tells him which are the weak-spots of his operation which are to be improved in order to further increase production figures.
total production of:
- oil (bpd),
- total production of electricity (MW),
- total amount of gas flared (m3/s)
per manufacturer:
- average availability (%)
- performance
