Workshop in Asset Integrity Management for the Petroleum Industry

Introduction:

Asset Integrity Management (AIM) is a critical foundation within the petroleum industry, marrying design, maintenance, inspection, process, operations, and management principles to drive optimal investment returns. This asset integrity management (AIM) oil and gas workshop explores the multifaceted concept of AIM, particularly as it applies to the design, managerial, and operational integrity essential for protecting the operational systems within the oil and gas sectors.

Participants will delve into a range of topics, including sophisticated approaches to reliability-centered maintenance (RCM), failure mode effects and criticality analysis (FMECA), risk-based inspection (RBI), static process equipment inspection, rotating equipment maintenance planning, addressing human factors challenges, and effective project management strategies.
