Houston, TX (March 18, 2002)-Conoco
Inc. and Dingo Maintenance Systems, announced today a new
comprehensive oil analysis program for their lubricant
customers in the Americas.
The MaintenanceGuyTM
Oil Analysis Program will provide customers with a wide
ranging oil analysis solution including sample kits, a
choice of certified laboratories, integration with Conoco
lubricant specifications and Dingo's leading web-based
condition monitoring software and e-mail alert system.
"The new program will provide
our customers with a comprehensive end-to-end solution for
oil analysis," said Robert Rhoades, Manager of Technical
Services for Conoco. "By integrating Conoco's
product specifications directly into the MaintenanceGuy
software, we can offer customers better guidance concerning
the performance of our lubricants in their equipment," he
continued.
The new program enables
customers to use any laboratory that has received Conoco's
MaintenanceGuy certification. This new certification
procedure will include a formal physical audit for best
practices and periodic random testing using seed samples of
known contamination levels.
"For a fixed sample fee,
customers will receive sample kits, testing at a certified
lab of their choice and Dingo's leading web-based
analytical software," said Paul Higgins, President of
Dingo Maintenance Systems.
The online software creates a
secure central database for equipment condition histories
and generates intuitive graphs to help companies identify
at-risk equipment and make cost-effective maintenance
decisions. Timely equipment condition information
reduces costs through component life extension, extended oil
drains and breakdown avoidance. Color-coded alarms and
e-mail notification assure quick attention to at-risk
equipment.
"Many companies are already
conducting routine oil analysis, but reams of paper lab
reports often become no more than a filing exercise," said
Higgins. "This new program will drive more value
from investment in oil analysis." Companies with
equipment at multiple sites can combine all equipment data
into one database. This will better enable them to
compare and benchmark equipment throughout the
company. Maintenance staff can then share information
online with anyone, anywhere.

integrated energy company active in more than 40 countries.
