Operational Performance in the Oil and Gas Industry through Asset Integrity Management

Process safety and asset integrity is very often enshrined in corporate integrity systems and operating procedures supported by operating safety audits that have been in place for a long time to meet regulations and try to ensure no failures occur.

Is your asset integrity management program helping you deliver world-class operational performance? Going beyond the concept of “Fitness-for-Service,” asset integrity management is a business-critical process that should help identify and shape opportunities for operational excellence – improving safety and optimizing you capital and operational spend.
