Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: API RP 2SIM, 1st Edition, November 2014 - Structural Integrity Management of Fixed Offshore Structures. This recommended practice provides guidance for the structural integrity management (SIM) of existing fixed offshore structures used for the drilling, development, production, and storage of hydrocarbons in offshore areas. However, the general principles of SIM apply to any structure. Specific guidance is provided for the evaluation of structural damage, above- and below-water structural inspection, fitness-for-purpose assessment, risk reduction, mitigation planning, and the process of decommissioning. This recommended practice incorporates and expands on the recommendations of Section 14, "Surveys" and Section 17, "Assessment of Existing Platforms" as previously provided in API 2A-WSD, 21st Edition. See Annex A for additional information and guidelines on the provisions stated in the numbered sections of this document. The SIM process provided in this recommended practice is applicable to existing platforms installed at any location worldwide. However, the recommended practice provides specific metocean criteria, which are only applicable for use in fitness-for-purpose assessments of platforms located in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and the U.S. West Coast. For guidelines, recommended practices, and other requirements relating to planning, designing, and constructing new fixed offshore platforms, including reuse and change-in-use of existing platforms, reference should be made to the latest edition of API 2A-WSD. For guidelines, recommended practices, and other requirements relating to planning, designing, and constructing new offshore floating production systems, including reuse and change-in-use of existing floating production systems, reference should be made to the latest edition of API 2FPS.

Download or read book Ageing and Life Extension of Offshore Structures written by Gerhard Ersdal and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive overview of managing and assessing safety and functionality of ageing offshore structures and pipelines A significant proportion, estimated at over 50%, of the worldwide infrastructure of offshore structures and pipelines is in a life extension phase and is vulnerable to ageing processes. This book captures the central elements of the management of ageing offshore structures and pipelines in the life extension phase. The book gives an overview of: the relevant ageing processes and hazards; how ageing processes are managed through the life cycle, including an overview of structural integrity management; how an engineer should go about assessing a structure that is to be operated beyond its original design life, and how ageing can be mitigated for safe and effective continued operation. Key Features: Provides an understanding of ageing processes and how these can be mitigated. Applies engineering methods to ensure that existing structures can be operated longer rather than decommissioned unduly prematurely. Helps engineers performing these tasks in both evaluating the existing structures and maintaining ageing structures in a safe manner. The book gives an updated summary of current practice and research on the topic of the management of ageing structures and pipelines in the life extension phase but also meets the needs of structural engineering students and practicing offshore and structural engineers in oil & gas and engineering companies. In addition, it should be of value to regulators of the offshore industry.

Download or read book Risk based Integrity Management RBIM of Oil Gas Offshore Fixed Steel Structure Platform written by Ahmed Elmasry and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil and gas offshore facilities structures operating in harsh environments are associated with high risk and the likelihood of failures. Hence, frequent inspections are needed to enhance the integrity and reliability of these 'platforms' structures using a rigorous strategy. The purpose of this research is to develop an integrity management strategy for an above and underwater offshore platform steel structure using risk-based integrity management assessment. This strategy is developed in four steps: step one identifies the elements of the platform structures suitable for risk-based integrity management; in step two, identifies anomalies and degradation mechanisms. The third step is hazard identification using qualitative risk analysis, by hazard and operability model, and quantitative risk analysis, by the fault tree model, to calculate the probability of failure then qualitative assessment assigns the consequences. Step four ranks the risk to prioritize inspection and maintenance schedule and build an integrity management strategy. As an outcome of this thesis, we are able to identify and categorize the degradation and deterioration mechanisms for the fixed steel structure platforms and gain an understanding of platform structural risks and rank these according to severity. Consequently, increase and enhance the reliability and integrity of the platform using an appropriate integrity management strategy. The proposed risk-based integrity management analysis proved that the risk-based inspection and risk-based maintenance methods used in this work are effective in terms of time, efficiency and cost, through reducing the frequency of inspection from 12 months to 24 or 36 months in some cases.
