Technical Services for Turnarounds in Petrochemical Plants in Germany, Austria and Switzerland
T.A. Cook, Dec 2010, Pages: 540
The European petrochemical industry is currently facing significant changes in the patterns of demand for products and an ever increasing competition between regional sites. Maintaining the maximum availability of production facilities is a critical factor for the success of a site. The efficient management of shutdown projects to minimise downtime is a critical issue for operators.
The performance of these projects depends in great part on the management and competencies of external technical service providers. In turn, service providers face challenges driven by reductions in turnaround times and costs, longer periods between shutdowns and the need to increase their share of integrated additional projects.
Against this background it is surprising that there has been no systematic documentation of the German speaking turnaround service market or transparent coverage of service providers for petrochemical turnaround projects. This study, part of a series addressing turnaround service provision in major global markets, provides the data and analysis you need to make effective decisions for turnaround strategy and contracting.
Methodology
The T.A. Cook Studies & Research Team conducted a 6-month research project analysing the market. An extensive and unique survey was conducted among petrochemical plant operators and service providers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This survey was complemented by expert interviews and a concluding Delphi study. Publicly available information from sources including databases, news and media was also used.
This study answers the following questions:
- What volume of turnaround services are contracted out by petrochemical plant operators?
- How will demand and supply for turnaround services evolve in the future?
- Who provides technical services for turnarounds?
- How will competition between turnaround service providers develop?
- How do quality, safety and risk management considerations affect service providers contracted for turnaround projects?
- What are the most successful contractual models and how will future contracts be structured?
- What requirements do service providers have to meet to gain significant market share in the turnaround sector?
- What strategic opportunities do turnaround service providers have?
- What global trends affect German speaking technical service providers?
