Introduction

Offshore structures do degrade while in-service due to deficiencies from original fabrication, corrosion or due to other different causes of degradation. The complex, extensive corrosion and fatigue risks to offshore structures in sea environment have considerable impact in inspection planning.  The practical interpretation of risk-based management principles and the use of the most appropriate techniques are of great practical significance to the operators of Offshore Platforms. API RP 580 and API Publication 581, 2000 Edition- Risk Based Inspection Base Resource Document are discussed during the course. RBI utility is based on the premise that a few vital area of offshore platform contribute a majority of the risk. To alleviate the risk level, more and more companies, since the last decade, have adopted risk based inspection (RBI) methodology to reduce risk and to improve cost benefits

 

SIM and Fitness-for-Service (FFS) assessments are quantitative engineering evaluation performed to determine the structural integrity of in-service systems such as offshore platform, containing a flaw or damage. The SIM &FFS help engineers to make run-repair-replace decisions. Technically sound fitness-for-service assessment procedure ensure life prediction, and to help optimize maintenance and operation of existing facilities. FFS is an integration of three disciplines; these are materials, inspection, and mechanical analysis.

 

This course delves on applied RBI methodology &SIM (Structural Integrity Management) in order to optimize the inspection& maintenance strategy of Offshore Platforms. All of the above will be presented in connection with the related codes and standards.

Objective

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

  • The participant will learn the importance of RBI for offshore platforms
  • The participant will learn the principles of SIM and FFS, and how to apply it on offshore platforms.
  • The participant will learn where to find and how to calculate data necessary for FFS application
  • To Understand the critical steps in the SIM (Structural Integrity Management) process
  • The participant will learn how to use RBI, SIM and FFS to take right decision concerning the operation, shutdown, interval of inspection, repair of the existing in-service offshore platforms
  • The participant will learn how to evaluate the integrity and remaining life of offshore platforms.
Audience
  • Structural Engineers,
  • Mechanical engineers,
  • Structural integrity engineers,
  • Asset integrity Engineers of offshore platforms
  • O&M engineers and
  • Inspectors responsible for design, installation, operation, integrity, and maintenance of offshore platforms are encouraged to attend this course.
