COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

The Oil and Gas Industry is full of challenges which can consume large amounts of time, money and resources. A better understanding of the problems associated with trying to operate a successful Asset Integrity Management system can go a long way to making the whole industry safer and environmentally friendlier. 

 

Asset Integrity Management (AIM) outlines the ability of an asset to perform its required function effectively and efficiently whilst protecting health, safety and the environment and the means of ensuring that the people, systems, processes, and resources that deliver integrity are in place, in use and will perform when required over the whole lifecycle of the asset. A proper Integrity Management System should address the quality at every stage of the asset life cycle, from the design of new facilities to maintenance management to decommissioning. Inspections, auditing/assurance and overall quality processes are just some of the tools designed to make an integrity management system effective. 

 

The AIM should also endeavour to maintain the asset in a fit-for-service condition while extending its remaining life in the most reliable, safe, and cost-effective manner. The AIM programs attempt to meet API-580, API-581, and PAS 55 requirements, as applicable. The AIMS document will stipulate the requirements for subsequent Integrity Management Plans. Asset Integrity management improves plant reliability and safety whilst reducing unplanned maintenance and repair costs. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of asset integrity management. It covers the introduction and major incident review including the failure of asset integrity of equipment; the various codes, standards and guidelines for asset integrity management (AIM); the design integrity, operational integrity, technical integrity and asset integrity management (AIM); and the attributes of successful AIM program and the effective AIM written procedure. 

 

Further, participant of the course will be able to analyse the essential components of asset integrity elements; implement different stages of asset integrity lifecycle and identify the asset integrity barriers; recognize the safety critical elements and equipment and asset degradation and damage; employ risk based inspection and pipeline integrity management; and carryout key performance indicators, emergency repairs, and asset integrity review process.
