Refinery Turnarounds, Shutdowns, and Outages – Uptime Logistics

Uptime Logistics, a podcast powered by CAP Logistics, focuses on reliability in business operations and transportation. Today, host Doug Draper of the Denver Transportation Club visits with Mark LaCour, Editor-In-Chief of Oil and Gas Global Network and Founder of modalpoint.

Doug and Mark discuss all things turnarounds, shutdowns, and outages for the refinery industry. Their combined experience in transportation and oil & gas provides listeners with insights about the importance of quality turnaround management and quality transportation for minimizing downtime and increasing uptime. Uptime ultimately drives the bottom line.

Watch today’s episode to gain both a basic understanding of how refinery turnarounds work, how transportation can support success, and also how new technology is increasing the capabilities of refinery managers and technicians - now and into the future.

Some examples include QR codes, Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, and even an augmented reality wearable made intrinsically safe specifically for the oil & gas industry.
