Software tools aid long-term management, intergrity of floation platforms

摘要

Offshore floating units, usually deployed under long-term plan, handle field production. Consequently, they cannot easily be removed for dry-docking and repair. An asset integrity management system (AIMS) has been developed for major complex floating units. The AIMS is a multidisciplinary coordination tool. It improves information and documentation transfer. More importantly, it helps minimize production shutdowns, and optimize maintenance and repair costs.
