Measurements of Electrical Labor Requirements for Oil Well Leases and Gasoline Plants

Maintenance of electrical equipment in oil well leases and in gasoline plants is discussed. Specifically, a method of determining optimum maintenance staffs is described. From an inventory of equipment on hand, the maintenance requirements of the system are calculated, and staffs are planned accordingly. The system is shown to be flexible, so that adjustments can be made in predicted maintenance. Operating experience is described, with quantitative figures on cost reductions and service improvements.
