Course Overview

What is meant by asset integrity?

This Zoe course will offer a unique and professional look into asset integrity management and give the appropriate tool and techniques needed in decision making. It will demonstrate the principles that are applied in asset integrity management for oil and gas, and it will also demonstrate the power of condition-based monitoring in helping support effective strategic initiatives and influence greatly the operational procedures for decision making.

It is critical in today’s global conditions of hard economic times for oil and gas organisations to strive to reduce operating expenditure costs. Undergoing this course will equip its participants will the necessary knowledge and skills required to add value to their value as efficient asset maintenance professionals who can deliver reduced costs and support their asset management dreams, vision, and objective over the prevailing conditions of the field operations.

Some of the targeted audience and criteria for the determination of this course will be to give engineers, maintenance personnel, operations professionals, and asset managers the ability and tools to draw their critical information from any known or unknown anomalies from inspection or reports. It will also equip the participants with the ability to distribute their workloads efficiently amongst their teams, assuring improved production on the oil and gas assets.

What are divisions of asset integrity?

The course will cover and deliver comprehensive asset integrity management training in corrosion, integrity, inspection, servicing, and inspection in all aspects of oil and gas. Those who will participate should be interested in competently managing and handling assets to optimum results. There will be combined practical and theoretical lessons to help in easier understanding. With this new knowledge and skills, there will be longer asset life, greater reliability and maintainability, reduced operational costs, increased asset performance, and new levels of safety standards obtained from an enhanced environment of adequate support and informed investment techniques.

It will highlight the following:

• AIM for oil and gas production facilities
• Risks involved in obtaining oil and gas products
• Oil and gas field extension examples and case studies
• Developing a more robust asset integrity management and repair philosophy
• Guidelines and core principles of asset integrity management
• Deepwater risers
• Methods to perform a risk-based inspection
• Asset management interpretation
• Risk assessment framework
