Asset Integrity Management in Oil & Gas Training Course

Course Overview

Learning Objectives

• Analyze the principles of asset integrity management and the consequences of integrity failures, drawing lessons from major incidents, on Day 1.
• Distinguish between design, technical, and operational integrity and their links to process safety management and asset management standards.
• Establish asset integrity management frameworks, governance, roles, responsibilities, and competence requirements.
• Develop asset registers and conduct criticality assessments to prioritize integrity activities.
• Identify safety and environmental critical elements and develop performance standards for them.
• Develop integrity strategies for static, rotating, electrical, instrumented, pipeline, and structural assets.
• Apply damage mechanism assessment, corrosion management, and risk-based inspection to plan inspection activities.
• Apply reliability-centered maintenance and integrity operating windows to protect equipment integrity.
• Apply barrier management to monitor the health of safety barriers and communicate barrier status.
• Manage anomalies, deferrals, and deviations and apply management of change to integrity-related changes.
• Use integrity data, information systems, key performance indicators, and audits to measure and assure integrity performance.
• Manage ageing assets and life extension, apply digital integrity technologies, and make risk-based integrity decisions by the end of Day 5.
