Gas compressor diagnostics are vital in oil and gas industry because of the equipment criticality which requires continuous operations. Plant operators often face difficulties in predicting appropriate time for maintenance.The developed genetic programming model provides a powerful solution for gas compressor operators so that the operator can plan ahead for maintenance by knowing an estimate for the actual health of the compressor at any time. Ferozkhan has led a research work under my Supervision regading industrial gas compressor performance evaluation. The work was carried out when he undergone MSc at UTP for offshore oil & gas facilities operated by PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd. The deterministic tool described in this book developed by authors using Genetic Programming was useful for real time operational analysis & optimizations. His work was acknowledged and published in international conferences. Mohd Shahrizal Jasmani Head (Maintenance Excellence) Center of Excellence, PETRONAS Upstream, Kuala lumpur, Malaysia
