Santos Energy

Company Background

• A leading oil and gas producer in Australia and Asia since 1964.
• 3000+ employees.
• Natural Gas Production in excess of 475 MMSCFD operating more than 135 compressors domestically in Australia.

Challenges

• Managing a growing compression fleet of more than 135 compressors.
• Field support engineers tasked with ensuring compressors are optimized to maximize production which is typically reviewed periodically or as needed to ensure they are still “on-curve”.
• Vendor sizing tools are cumbersome to set-up for accurate analysis of operating data.

Impact of Enalysis^®

• Compression utilization increased across fleet from 84% to 91.5% across the entire fleet.
• This equates to an increase in throughput of 35.6 MMSCFD or $53.3 million per year in additional revenue through the same fleet of compressors.
• Field Support Engineering meet regularly with Detechtion’s Engineering Account manager to provide insight and resources on projects.

Santos saw an increase in compressor utilization of more than 7.5% across their compression fleet through the use of Enalysis^®
