Starting a vibration condition monitoring program for the two largest Deepwater Oil and Gas platforms comes with challenges. This presentation will look at four challenging cases we encountered.

1. A Ballast Pump showing inner race bearing faults even though it seldom runs – why?
2. Mist Eliminator Blowers for gas turbine exhaust experiencing repeated bearing failures – why?
3. Unbalance and structural problems on critical Atlas Copco compressors. Balancing reduced vibration levels but fluctuating vibration levels persisted – why?
4. The utilization of ODS on a Vacuum Pump and Deaerator mixer – why it was done and what was found that benefitted the site.
