Compressor Performance

We ordered a centrifugal compressor for oxygen fluid with a flow rate of 7500 m3/h and a pressure of 20 bar. This compressor is equipped with a inlet guide vane (IGV) and variable frequency motor. Now, for some reason, our required flow rate has decreased to 5000 cubic m3/h, but our required pressure remains the same at 20 bar. My question is: Regardless of the energy loss, can this compressor be used continuously for flow rate 5000 cubic m3/h and pressure 20 bar?
Thank you for your guidance.
