+ ASSET INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT
Asset integrity Management
(AIM) in the oil and gas industry
is a complex process which
encompasses all the phases of an
asset lifecycle from design to
decommissioning and all these
stages must focus on integrity.

Asset Integrity can be defined as
the ability of an asset to perform
its required function effectively
whilst safeguarding life and the
environment .
Asset Integrity Management (AIM) is the preservation of asset integrity at an
anticipated level.
AIM seeks to maintain the asset in a fit-for-service condition while extending
its remaining life in the most reliable, safe and cost effective manner.

+ RISK-BASED INSPECTION (RBI) 4 RBI is a risk assessment and
management process that is focused
on loss of containment of pressurized
equipment in processing facilities, due
to material deterioration. These risks
are managed primarily through
equipment inspection.
LifeTechs RBI methodology can be
used to manage the overall risk of a
plant by focusing inspection efforts on
the process equipment with the
highest risk.
Our RBI methodology provides the
basis for making informed decisions
on inspection frequency, the extent of
inspection, and the most suitable type
of NDE. In most processing plants, a
large percent of the total unit risk will
be concentrated in a relatively small
percent of the equipment items.
These potential high-risk components
may require greater attention, perhaps
through a revised inspection plan. The
cost of the increased inspection effort
may be offset by reducing excessive
inspection efforts in the areas
identified as having lower risk.
LifeTech is able to implement RBI
projects to:
Reduce Risks Minimize Shutdowns Maximize Shutdown Intervals Reduce/Prevent Leaks Reduce Costs including Insurance
Costs
Maximize Equipment Availability Focus Resources and Budget on High
Risk Items.

+ RBLXTM SOFTWARE
RBLXTM is a fully quantitative RBI software suit based on the API, DNV, NORSOK and ASME standards which identifies applicable damage
mechanisms, calculates corrosion rates, determine damage
susceptibilities, estimate current and future risks and recommends
optimum inspection plans.
RBLXTM
covers the following equipment:
Pressure Vessels;
Subsea and Land Based Pipelines;
Storage Tanks;
Heat Exchangers;
Pipework; and,
Pressure Relief Devices (PRDs).
The following modules will be added to RBLXTM in near future:
Topside Structures;
Subsea Jacket;
Flexible Risers and Flow lines; and,
Rotary Equipment.

+ RBLXTM CAPABILITIES
Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)
RBLXTM will be used in implementing the RBI
projects.
Corrosion Risk Assessment
RBLXTM is able to identify the applicable
damage mechanisms and quantify several
corrosion and degradation mechanisms.
Life Extension
Using RBLXTM the future risks can be
predicted and a documented Life Extension
process will be implemented.
Remaining Life Assessment
RBLXTM can be used in assessing the
remaining life of the asset.

+ LIFE EXTENSION The oil and gas operators around the world experience that their assets reach
the original design life while there is still a need to operate the systems for
more years. As assets age, the operators have several new challenges to
consider when required to operate beyond the design life such as:
Changes in integrity, e.g. time dependent degradation;
Mechanisms such as corrosion and fatigue or random; and,
Mechanical damages (e.g. third party damages).
LifeTech has developed a detailed methodology based on API, DNV, NORSOK
and ISO standards to complete a full life extension project cycle.

Corrosion Management System (CMS) is involved in a range of activities including corrosion prevention, corrosion mitigation, corrosion monitoring and inspection.
Corrosion management is not just about sending NDT technicians on the site and painting pipework. Effective management of corrosion control and monitoring activities are key elements of Asset Integrity Management.
Corrosion management is a cross-discipline activity (Technical & Non-Technical).
LifeTech Engineering has developed a detailed corrosion management strategy based on HSE UK Corrosion Management document-OTO 2001/044-including the following main activities:
Corrosion Risk Assessment
Corrosion Control Programme
Implementation of the Corrosion Control Program (Mitigation, Monitoring, Inspection, Corrosion Awareness, Repairs, Roles and Responsibilities, Data Management and Material Degradation Reporting)
Performance Assessment
Design/New Projects/Equipment Changes
Experience and Lessons Learned

+ CORROSION RISK ASSESSMENT (CRA)
Corrosion is the main reason for conducting technical inspections.
Corrosion Risk Assessment (CRA), which may be embedded within the
Risk Based Inspection is the process of identifying and quantifying the
possible risks due to corrosion.
The purpose of the corrosion risk assessment is to identify and prioritise
the effect of various material degradation mechanisms on the asset.
Corrosion risk assessment will also act as a tool to identify any weaknesses
in the existing corrosion control programme and prompt the risk reducing
actions.
The output of a Corrosion Risk Assessment will feed into the Risk Based
Inspection and Corrosion Management systems
The Corrosion Management system will be used to mitigate or control
corrosion by:
Monitoring corrosion control performance;
Improving corrosion control;
Identifying and resolving corrosion management issues, and;
Maintaining a flow of information between parties.

+ FITNESS FOR SERVICE (FFS) ASSESSMENT
Fitness-for-service (FFS) assessment is a multi-disciplinary approach to
determine whether equipment Is fit for continued service.
The equipment or system in question may contains flaws or other damage, or
may be subjected to more severe operating conditions than anticipated by the
original design. The outcome of a fitness-for-service assessment is a decision
to run as is, repair, re-rate, alter, or retire the equipment.
A remaining life analysis may also be performed as part of the assessment,
which can be used to set future inspection intervals and to budget for capital
expenditures when existing equipment is to be retired. A typical FFS
assessment may involve several engineering disciplines, and it requires
collecting data from a number of sources.
An experienced LifeTech Engineer takes the lead role in performing the
assessment, he will rely on other LifeTech Engineers to provide crucial data
and expertise.

+ RELIABILITY CENTERED MAINTENANCE (RCM)
RCM is a common sense approach for achieving reliability. It is the best
known proven method for developing a preventive maintenance (PM)
program for any type of plant or facility.
RCM is defined as a set of tasks generated on the basis of a systematic
evaluation that are used to develop or optimize a maintenance program.
RCM incorporates decision logic to ascertain the safety and operational
consequences of failures and identifies the mechanisms responsible for
those failures.
The Three Phases of an RCM Based Preventive Maintenance Program:
Phase 1: identify equipment important to plant safety, generation (or production), and
asset protection
Phase 2: specify the requisite PM tasks for the equipment identified in phase 1.
Phase 3: properly execute the tasks specified in phase 2.
LifeTech uses a Risk Based approach for RCM Methodology which
includes the following steps:
Screening
Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)
Risk evaluation
Strategy development
