Marine-Specific Challenges
Marine environments demand specialized integrity management. Salt water corrosion, remote operations, and classification society requirements create unique challenges.
Case Study: Offshore Production Platform
How a North Sea operator achieved 99.7% uptime while reducing integrity management costs by $1.8M annually.
Phase 1: Current State Assessment (Month 1-2)
Legacy integrity management system unable to handle complexity of offshore operations.
2,400 pressure systems tracked across Excel and paper records
No integration with platform SCADA or condition monitoring systems
Inspection planning based purely on regulatory minimums
Unable to quantify risk or optimize maintenance spending
Phase 2: System Deployment (Month 3-4)
Rapid implementation during planned platform shutdown.
Digitized 12 years of inspection and maintenance records
Integrated with platform process automation system for scheduled operating data refreshes
Built risk models for critical pressure systems using API 581 methodology
Established remote monitoring dashboard for shore-based integrity team
Phase 3: Risk-Based Operation (Month 5-8)
Transitioned from reactive to proactive maintenance strategy.
Identified 18 high-risk systems requiring enhanced monitoring
Deferred 42 low-risk inspections, reducing next shutdown duration by 6 days
Caught early-stage CUI in riser support structure, preventing catastrophic failure
Reduced onsite integrity engineering hours by 35% through shore-based monitoring
Phase 4: Annual Results (Month 12)
Full year of operations under proactive reliability program.
Platform availability: 99.7% (vs. 96.8% previous year)
Reduced unplanned shutdowns due to pressure system failures
Inspection costs reduced by $1.8M through optimized planning
Full regulatory compliance maintained with documented audit readiness
