HELIOS BY EQUIPMENT / Compressors
Follow one air compressor package from agreed requirements to a missing test report and an authorised review. IOGP provides the shared procurement basis. Helios would connect that basis to the work and its evidence.

AC-101 / Centrifugal air compressor
Illustrative 3D model
Existing practices
This compressor supplies compressed air. Its drawings and test records can arrive separately. A missing report can leave reviewers chasing evidence as delivery approaches.
FROM THE STANDARD TO THE WORK
IOGP provides a shared procurement basis today. Helios would carry the requirements agreed for this order into the work, keeping each check connected to its source.
Confirm the applicable IOGP specification, base standard or design code, editions and project requirements.
Turn the agreed requirements into checks and supplier tasks, with an owner and a deadline. The project team approves the mapping.
Link the required record to the equipment or component. Keep missing, received and awaiting review distinct.
Keep the authorised review and unresolved issues with the evidence. Reassess affected checks if a requirement changes.
Common requirements can reduce repeated specification work. Earlier visibility of missing records could reduce late chasing.
Agreed checks and traceable evidence support qualified review. The record does not prove that equipment is safe for a particular service.
Owners and deadlines make the next action clear. Building the record during manufacture could reduce work left at handover.
Measure the result on one order: document-chasing hours, time to find the correct record, and unresolved review issues. No Helios savings are asserted here.
0:00 to 0:12 / Existing practices
This compressor supplies compressed air. Its drawings and test records can arrive separately. A missing report can leave reviewers chasing evidence as delivery approaches.
Illustrative fragmented workflow. Existing teams may already have effective controls.
0:12 to 0:26 / IOGP today
IOGP S-612 adds common purchasing requirements to API 672 for this type of air compressor package. Shared requirements can reduce repeated specification work.
Scoped to packaged, integrally geared centrifugal air compressors. Use the editions agreed in the order.
0:26 to 0:38 / IOGP today
The buyer and supplier confirm the order requirements, inspection plan and required records. Project choices and approved changes stay part of that agreed basis.
The applicable specification family and purchase order work together.
0:38 to 0:52 / Intended Helios workflow
Helios would turn the agreed requirements into tasks, with an owner and a due date. Each task would retain its source and link to this package.
Intended workflow until verified. The project team would approve the mapping before use.
0:52 to 1:04 / Intended Helios workflow
In this example order, requirement C-04 asks for the report before handover. The package supplier sees the gap and provides the missing record.
C-04 and its deadline are illustrative order detail, not an IOGP clause or universal requirement.
1:04 to 1:18 / Intended Helios workflow
An authorised reviewer checks the report against the applicable requirements. The decision and any open issues stay with it. Receipt does not approve the compressor.
Record review is separate from equipment acceptance.
A reviewed report may still contain unresolved issues. Equipment acceptance is separate.
1:18 to 1:30 / Intended Helios workflow
The next authorised team could follow the package record. Earlier visibility could reduce late chasing and make review evidence easier to find.
Measure the benefit in a pilot. Records support decisions; engineering and acceptance remain with responsible people.
Packaged, integrally geared centrifugal air compressor to API 672, within the applicable S-612 scope. S-612 must not be relabelled API 617 or generalized to all gas compressors.
IOGP is the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers. Its JIP33 programme develops common purchasing specifications. Technical requirements, project choices, quality requirements and required information work with the purchase order. The responsible team determines applicability, inspection responsibilities and acceptance.
These references do not establish a live integration, complete standards coverage, IOGP certification or endorsement of Helios. Illustrations represent the equipment category and are not manufacturing drawings.
Compare the intended checklist with the approved order and inspection plan. Test a missing record, an incorrect equipment or component reference and a revised requirement. Confirm that unresolved holds remain visible and that receipt cannot substitute for review.
Check that every decision leads back to the correct source and revision. Validate access permissions and agreed handover fields. CFIHOS information mapping and use of the IOGP Material Digital Passport framework require separate verification.
The pilot would need to verify who attested each record and whether it changed. A traceable record does not establish that its underlying statement is true. Read about EventChain.
Bring the agreed requirements and a sample of its records. Define what needs to be checked and how to measure the result.
