Achieving Excellence in Asset Integrity Management Course

Course Overview:

This course describes the Asset Integrity Management process and its application in petroleum operations with a focus on the sustainable and safe retention of operational assets.

Students will also be instructed on integrity assessment and control in topside and subsea systems, risk and reliability centered maintenance, and the use of relevant KPIs for performance assessment. 

Among the topics to be covered are offshore AIM, maintenance of rotating machinery, barrier management, and advanced technologies in engineering projects. 

It is intended for engineers, maintenance staff and project managers and the participants will learn practical methods and tools to assist them in implementing proper asset integrity and lifecycle performance optimization.

Course Objectives:

• Manage assets in the petroleum industry in a sustainable and safe manner.
• Assess & control Asset Integrity of operational assets in production & process systems.
