Software And Consulting Industry

Keynote Session: Why we are here? How changes in macroeconomic conditions affect lifecycle and asset integrity management solutions

• Gain an understanding of how the commercial logic of life extension programmes is linked to rising oil prices and developing extraction technology
• Appreciate the significance of downturns and upswings in commodity prices for your own AIM system and standards
• Learn how rapid technological advances in the last 30 years have impacted AIM solutions and where the next developments will occur

Topside Technical Case Study: Develop and compare strategies for management of topside fabric conditions and other non-safety critical elements (SCEs)

• Understand the concerns raised in KP3 by the HSE with regards to management of non-SCEs
• Discuss potential Planned Maintenance (PM) schemes and how non-SCEs are prioritized within them
• Assess the differences between topside and sub-sea supplier solutions and how this impacts the costing strategy of integrity management


Based on the Step Change in Safety publication “Human Factors – How to take the first steps…” understand the role that human factors have to play in asset-integrity related incidents

• Identify real incident case studies that can be used to raise workforce awareness of human factors.
• Consider the importance of the workforce making a connection between what they learn in the workshop and their own work activities and workplace.
• Learn how to help the workforce translate their new awareness into personal and organisational action.

Data Management Case Study: Uncover the weaknesses of your data management systems for integrity challenges such as corrosion management

• Establish how cutting-edge digital solutions could aid development of maintenance protocols
• Easily updated, maintained and shared information regarding crucial asset integrity conditions
• Streamline the morass of data to pinpoint key areas of concern and potential vulnerability


Corrosion Case Study
Combat corrosion management challenges within your asset by hearing from ConocoPhillips experience in the North Sea

• Gain an insight into the key challenges facing one of the worlds leading operators
• Assess the importance of corrosion challenges in day-to-day integrity management
• Address ‘hidden-corrosion’ challenges e.g. under insultation, inside flanges and best practice management solutions
Abdel Kader Mekki, Senior Corrosion/Erosion Engineer, CONOCOPHILLIPS

HSE Panel
‘KP4 is about holistic integrity management which aims to prevent a rerun of KP3’, Gain an insight into the latest KP4 developments and the implications it has for North Sea Assets

• Enhance your understanding of the role of KP4 within the framework of the HSE and what it will mean for your asset
• Understand how best to approach and develop a safety culture within you organization about respective and developing safety cultures
• Develop mechanisms that will pre-empt the address inspections concerns-interacting with the HSE in a uniquely collaborative format
Panelists include:
John Wintle, Consultant Engineer at TWI and to the HSE on KP4
Phillip Smedley, Structural Engineer for EPT Subsea & Floating Systems Team, BP

Understand how a holistic asset integrity management capability is key to North Sea operators

• Evaluate the design and maintenance of ageing assets with regard to future procurement strategies
• Receive the right support to get the most out of fixed assets via a rigorous and incisive inspection service
• Improve access to subsea assets that will reduce unplanned inspections and create an effective programme that will reduce downtime


Asset Management: opportunities to learn from other sectors BSI-PAS55: understand how multi-industry Interact with key architects of international standards and the multi-sector professional Institute of asset management standards can provide guidance, practical tips and assurance evidence for appropriate processes & disciplines.
