Introduction
An Asset Integrity Management (AIM) program provides a backbone for operations by incorporating design, maintenance, inspection, process, operations, and management concepts to ensure optimal return on investments. This course focuses on the concept of AIM (i.e., design, technical, and operational integrity) in safeguarding operational systems. We will explore methodologies such as Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), Failure Mode Effect and Criticality Analysis (FMECA), Risk-Based Maintenance (RBI), inspection of static process equipment, and maintenance planning of rotating equipment. The course will also address challenges related to the human factor, effective project management strategies, and more.
Course Objectives
- Manage assets in the petroleum industry in a safe, sustainable manner to optimize performance.
- Assess and control Asset Integrity in operational assets across production and process systems.
- Perform Asset Integrity Management for both topside and subsea systems.
- Understand the overall asset process from a systems engineering perspective.
- Leverage adaptive technologies and techniques in engineering projects for more efficient Asset Integrity.
