Ensuring the integrity of offshore facilities through RBI

摘要

ALL COMPANIES AND operators in the oil & gas industry are under increasing pressure to meet stringent technical and commercial criteria, such as achieving and maintaining production targets, mitigating challenges, improving reliability, minimising production costs, improving asset protection, whilst maintaining the highest safety and environmental standards. In addition advances in technology has led to the life extension of oil & gas fields, which in turn has resulted in the continued use of oil & gas production facilities (FPSOs, platforms and pipelines) beyond their intended design life in many cases of 20 years. Sixty per cent of the world's offshore oil & gas production facilities still in operation are past their theoretical design age of 20 years.
