Innovative Re-Engineering of Semi-Automatic Compressor Engine Oil Make up

In the upstream oil and gas industry PT Pertamina EP Regional 2 Zone 7 Tambun Field carries out oil and gas production activities. In the natural gas processing unit, one of the most important equipment is the gas compressor which functions to increase gas pressure so that gas can be flowed to consumers at a distance through a pipeline. The problem in current compressor operations is the occurrence of unplanned shutdowns caused by uncontrolled lubricating oil levels, this occurs due to late filling or addition of lubricating oil when the compressor unit is operating. In addition, the way of filling lubricating oil in the compressor is also a challenge because it still uses a manual method by climbing the deck on the compressor by passing through an unsafe pressure pipe. This research aims to solve the problem of unplanned shutdown caused by the lack of control of the lubricant level in the compressor engine and improve a safer way of filling lubricating oil. The observation shows that by using a new innovation of filling lubricating oil in the compressor has a real impact that the lubrication level on the compressor engine is better maintained so as to eliminate unplanned shutdowns from this factor and safer to use. Data analysis there is a change in work speed when filling oil from 30 minutes to 10 minutes, so that work becomes more efficient.
