ISO 14224 Course
ISO 14224 is a fundamental international standard for collection and exchange of reliability and maintenance data for equipment in petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries, and is a standard that the ESP-RIFTS JIP conforms to. On October 19, 2026, ISO/TC 67/Working Group 4 is holding a course entitled “Use of ISO 14224 to Optimize Operations and Ensure Sustainability in Oil, Gas, and Lower‑Carbon Energy Industries” at C-FER Technologies’ offices in Edmonton, Alberta.
Phase 28 Planning
In June, C-FER met with ESP-RIFTS operators to discuss and finalize detailed work scopes for activities in Phase 28, including:
- Technical workshops for industry-wide, unconventional and offshore focus
- Benchmarking activities through Power BI dashboards
- Technical studies, including topics on condition monitoring, cable reliability and reuse, high gas volume fraction, permanent magnet motors and ESP data tracking and analysis practices
If your organization is interested in any of these topics, or in participating in a collaborative, multi‑operator forum, please contact C‑FER.
Condition Monitoring and Permanent Magnet Motors Repositories
In June, updated versions of the ESP Condition Monitoring and Permanent Magnet Motors knowledge repositories were released to ESP-RIFTS Participants. These revisions incorporate recent insights gathered from subject matter expert interviews as well as learnings from ESP‑RIFTS operators.
ESP-RIFTS Database
Recently, C-FER received a submission from one ESP-RIFTS Participant, containing reliability data from thermal operations. The data is now available for ESP-RIFTS Participants to analyse on the ESP-RIFTS website and the Power BI benchmarking dashboard.
