The document discusses asset integrity management and how major accidents can be prevented. It outlines key principles like being holistic, systematic, risk-based, and sustainable. Major accident hazards often result from incompetency, poor design, lack of barriers or management systems, and operating outside limits. The document emphasizes establishing pillars of integrity from design through operation to maintain technical and operational integrity. This includes robust documentation, standards, management strategies, and continual improvement to avoid incidents like Piper Alpha and Deepwater Horizon.

4. Asset Management
Systematic and Synchronized activities through which
organizations manage their assets optimal and sustainable over
their life cycle to accomplish organizations strategic plans
Asset Integrity Management
To manage the integrity over the life cycle of an asset.
Asset Integrity
Ability of an asset to perform its function effectively and
efficiently though protection the health, safety and
environment.

5. PRINCIPLES AND ATTRIBUTES OF ASSET MANAGEMENT
Attributes Description
HOLISTIC Emphasizing the functional relation
among all departments of organization
SYSTEMATIC characterized the asset management in
an organized, consistent and planned
manner
SYSTEMIC Affecting the whole system rather than
optimizing individual asset separately
RISK – BASED: Prioritize the assets with respect to risk
(health and safety, environment and cost)
SUSTAINABLE Capable of being maintained over the life
cycle without Loss of containment
OPTIMAL Best value of asset under limits of
performance, cost and risk with relative
to other assets
INTEGRATED Interlinking of above attributes to
achieve successful Asset Management

PHASES AND STAGES OF ASSET INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT
There are three phases of integrity management
1. Design Integrity
2. Technical Integrity

Poor material selection, Inadequate Competency, Absence of Safety Studies are the key factors for
Major Accident Hazards and cause threat to Health, Safety and Environment. These can be avoid to
invest money in the design stage to established an Asset Management System which ensures the
facility will be capable to handle any major accident hazard which will not only protect the health
and safety of the personnel's but also control environment and business risk over the life cycle of an
asset. Key documentation are necessary to established the integrity are:.
 Material Selection (ISO 15156; NORSOK D-001; EEMUA 194, Group Practices etc.)
 Corrosion Prediction for their asset life (Multicorp, ECE, Casandra etc.)
 Risk Management (Risk Assessment, Risk Management, Risk Acceptance and
Risk Communication)
 Conducting HAZOP, PHA, PSM, LOPA, SIMOPS
 Developing Safety Case (To make sure facility is enough capacity to handle
Major Accident Hazard)
 Identification of SCEs (Safety Critical Elements), BCEs (Business Critical
Elements) and ICE (Integrity Critical Elements)
 Integrity Management Strategy (Topside, Controls & Umbilical, Subsea
Equipment, Pipelines, Riser, Corrosion, Flow Assurance, follow up with Integrity
Management Plan)
 Robust MOC process

10. TECHNICAL INTEGRITY
 Manufacturing of Pressure and Non-Pressure equipment as per code and standards
 Construction of the facilities as per Code and Standards
 Robust QA / QC during Construction, Hook-up / Installation
 Third party inspection and verification
 Documentation of Anomaly Register and communicated to Operation
 Ensure performance standards to make sure it conforms the design intent
 Robust MOC process
ESTABBLISHMENT OF PILLARS TO AVOID
MAJOR ACCIDENT HAZARDS
Incompetency, poor methods of manufacturing and installations, lack of communication for
anomalies among the engineering departments and avoidance of third party verification are the
high probable factors for damages at the infant stage of operational asset life which leads to Major
Accident Hazards which can be controlled by:

11. OPERATIONAL INTEGRITY
 Implementation of Integrity Management Strategy (Implementation of RBI, RCM, IPF and
Corrosion Management to manage the integrity and reliability of assets)
 Adherence to Integrity Operating Windows
 Audit and Review process
 Continual Improvements and Lesson Learnt
 Enhancement of Personnel competency and skills
 Robust MOC process
MAINTANED PILLARS TO AVOID MAJOR
ACCIDENT HAZARDS
Incompetency, Absence of integrity management strategy, lack of communication among
departments , Absence of SMS (Safety Management System) and Non-conformance of operational
procedures are the major causes which leads to Major Accident Hazards which can be prevent
during operational life stage by:


12. CONCLUSION
Organization can prevent the Piper Alpha and Deep-water Horizon GoM by establishing
and maintaining the integrity over life cycle of an asset with Organization Commitment,
Organizational Strategic Plans and Robust Asset Management System.
