DEVELOPMENT OF MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES FOR OFFSHORE PRODUCTION FACILITIES
The development of effective and efficient maintenance strategies for complex, advanced and integrated oil and gas (O&G) production facilities is essential to ensure safe, effective and efficient production processes and profitability. Furthermore, the production facility owners increasingly focus on the development of maintenance strategies that contribute to achieving the highest possible production regularity as well as ensuring minimum risks as regulations regarding the health, safety, and environment (HSE) become increasingly stringent.The production facility maintenance activities are planned, prioritized and executed based on equipment criticality with respect to HSE and production acceptance criteria. The trend in maintenance management has changed from run to failure to proactive maintenance planning based on the real time data. In the oil and gas industry there is a trend towards using more condition monitoring and many operators seek to integrate condition monitoring centres with onshore operational support centres and offshore control rooms. The aim is to improve equipment performance and to reduce the number of equipment failures. However, the development often results in creating a need to improve operation and maintenance work processes performance as well.Based on the study conducted in two engineering companies in the Norwegian oil and gas industry, this paper discusses the process of development of maintenance strategies for complex, advanced and integrated production facilities..
