# Predictive Maintenance in O&G
30-40% of O&G budgets go to maintenance, yet equipment failures persist. Harsh environments (high pressure, corrosive gases, extreme temps) cause sensor drift, leading to both false positives and missed threats.
## The Numbers
- Detecting bearing anomaly 18 days early prevents $700K production loss
- Shell: AI predictive maintenance found 65 control valves needing repair that traditional methods missed
- 40% reduction in maintenance costs through AI (Shell case)
- BP: $10M annual savings from predictive systems
## The AI Moat
Time-series anomaly detection trained on facility-specific patterns:
- Vibration signatures
- Temperature profiles
- Pressure curves
- Flow patterns
- IoT sensor health monitoring
The moat is in the data. Each facility has unique baselines. Generic models won't cut it.
