We work with our client's most critical assets—their people, processes, and production facilities—to help them achieve safe, competitive, predictable outcomes on their high-risk events—namely capital projects and turnarounds. We pride ourselves on providing actionable solutions that go beyond mere academic assessments. These solutions are a powerful hybrid of software as a service (SaaS) and consulting expertise that together generate measurable results. Our consultants hail from a broad range of disciplines across Industry. They are internationally recognized leaders and experts in project management, turnaround management, operations, benchmarking, risk management, and more. Their expertise is supported by our licensable suite of web-based project and turnaround management tools. These tools allow organization leaders to see event status at a glance, and provide the means for site teams to track progress and alignment. Our tools and processes are based on Industry best practices identified using the AP-Networks Turnaround Database, the AP-Networks Capital Project Database, and the AP-Networks Upstream Turnaround Database. These databases contain information from thousands of projects and turnarounds from the exploration and production, refining, petrochemical, and chemical industries. Combined with the expertise of our consultants, these databases are a powerful tool linking demonstrated practices with measurable outcomes. AP-Networks is the Industry's knowledge network, and our depth of experience and insight is unmatched. Since our founding, we've focused on improving the state of Industry knowledge and propelling project and turnaround performance to new heights.
