Computer science TP Chemical technology Turbomachinery is a crucial equipment for oil and gas (O&G) facilities. Therefore, efficient and effective management of turbomachinery project is very critical towards the overall success of any O&G project. Nevertheless, studies on turbomachinery project management are limited and only focus on overall O&G project execution. There is no established framework related to management of turbomachinery projects found in the literature although Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS), the Malaysian national O&G company has procured more than 100 turbomachineries with some success and failure.

Through a survey on the sample of 183 respondents and expert focus group interview with five turbomachinery professionals with minimum 12 years of experience, this study finds that: turbomachinery is always identified under project critical path; problems in turbomachinery project management include turbomachinery process selection and configuration, availability of detailed vendor data and developing turbomachinery total cost of ownership (TCoO) or life cycle cost (LCC) ; and presence of client during kick off meeting, proper procurement strategy and tender plan, as well as well-defined project feasibility study and concept are expected to solve the aforementioned problems. Finally, using the combination of problem-solution bow-tie diagram and Critical Success Factors (CSFs) principle table, a framework of turbomachinery project management in O&G project in Malaysia consisting of 9 problems, 13 solutions and 43 CSFs are grouped into seven related factors: effective project management, human, internal management, technical and contract related, Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) dependency, progression and external related factors being developed.
