Asset Integrity Management for the Petroleum Industry

Introduction

An Asset Integrity Management (AIM) program provides a backbone and incorporates design, maintenance, inspection, process, operations, and management concepts, making optimal return on investments.

This course focuses on the concept of AIM (i.e. design, technical, and operation integrity) in the safeguarding of the operational system. The approaches to reliability-centered maintenance (RCM), failure mode effect and criticality analysis (FMECA), risk-based maintenance (RBI), inspection of static process equipment, maintenance planning of rotating equipment, mitigate the challenges due to human factor, effective project management strategies, etc.

Course Objectives

• Manage assets in the petroleum industry in a sustainable and safe manner.
• Assess & control Asset Integrity of operational assets in production & process systems.
• Perform integrity management on the topside and subsea systems.
• Realize overall asset process in a systems engineering perspective.
• Use of adaptive technologies and techniques in engineering projects.
