We will help you secure the benefits of effective integrity management across the whole business:

- Production - avoid unscheduled outages - Maintenance - more accurate prediction of

maintenance spend - Management - sustain safe and predictable

business performance and optimise CAPEX and OPEX

ABB provides technical consulting and engineering services to improve performance in the areas of compliance, operations and engineering to upstream and downstream oil & gas installations.

We can advise, support and enhance every stage of your business-critical operations.

In ABB we have extensive experience of helping our clients set up cost effective asset integrity programmes for platforms and terminals.

The business challengeMany of the oil and gas facilities around the world are operating beyond their nominal design life. The challenge: how to maintain production capability in a safe and cost effective way whilst preserving the integrity of those assets?

Whats does an effective asset integrity management approach involve?Implementing asset integrity management requires that all aspects of ongoing operations are properly designed, constructed, tested, operated, inspected and maintained in the most effective way. It necessitates a risk based approach, to help focus limited resource and time. But it also involves appropriate attention to the ‘less critical’ assets.

—Integrity management for upstream oil and gasPlatforms, FPSOs and terminals

Our approachABB’s approach encompasses structural, piping, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, control systems and the safety critical systems.

Our clients value our capabilities in asset integrity management for a wide range of reasons including:

- A vast array of knowledge and experience on asset integrity that has been developed over many years of helping oil and gas industry clients

- Our ability to be independent and objective and apply relevant knowledge from other high hazard industries

- Our ability to view things from an operational perspective, backed up by deep technical expertise, means the solutions we provide are of immediate application and value

- Our UKAS accredited inspection teams. Assuring equipment integrity using a risk based methodology for inspection and monitoring

- We work with our clients as an integrated team, delivering the agreed aspects and we will routinely pass on our knowledge

- Our capability to assist with the ongoing implementation of asset integrity schemes

- Our flexibility and ability to adapt to our clients’ operational circumstances

Our technical specialists are experienced in all aspects of design, operation, maintenance and inspection not only focussing on the equipment issues, but also on the vital ‘softer’ issues of organisational and personal competence. ABB’s asset health check, asset life planning, life extension and Risk Based Inspection (RBI) methodologies have been developed over many years of practical application to provide effective support to business decision-making. These methodologies are key components of ABB’s pRIME Toolkit which is an integral part of ABB’s pRIME asset integrity framework. ABB’s pRIME Toolkit enables the consistent efficient delivery of integrity management solutions tailored to the specific needs of our clients.
