Program description:
Every piece of equipment has a working life and life cycle--part of the annual cost of ownership. The cost for heavy equipment and support vehicles includes the scheduled maintenance and attention needed to both preserve that life cycle and eliminate or at least minimize down time. Failure to adhere to prescribed maintenance impacts your drilling and overall business operations and can even prevent your safely getting to/from the job. Technological advances in tires and low-sulfur and biofuels have altered some maintenance procedures and time frames so reviewing the manufacturers’ suggestions for your “new” equipment is imperative as it could dramatically differ from previous practice.
