Asset Life Extension Process

By;
Identifying ageing, obsolescence and life
extension issues via systematic assessment
(OGRE)
Fully supporting Safety Case Thorough Review
requirements
Providing key inputs to Basis of Design
documents allowing for planning & execution of
identified actions

Process

Life Extension

Goal;
Demonstrate fitness for purpose & suitability of
an asset for specified Life Extension period

Oil & Gas Release Elimination (OGRE) Assessment Tool

Ensures Ageing, Obsolescence & Asset Life Extension are managed

Identifies issues associated with maintaining fitness for purpose of an asset for a specified
Life Extension period
Facilitator led assessment carried out by multi-functional team reviewing ~60 ALE
considerations against all SCE, BCE and ECEs
Prioritise issues/gaps:

Red Process/procedure gap and condition issues

Amber Condition issues only
Green No gaps/issues

Issues/gaps validated against ALE strategy of Maintain; Repair; Replace; Remove criteria
Defined scopes implemented via Asset Integrity Rectification Programme

Ageing is not about how old your equipment is; its about what you know about its condition, and
how thats changing over time

SNS Asset Integrity Rectification Programme

Ensures Asset & Operating Integrity fitness for purpose is maintained through to the
end of field life

Programme commenced mid 2012 with scopes executed via 106POB walk-to-work
barge over ~ 60-80 day duration per asset

Key focus areas/workscopes derived from ALE/OGRE process output combined with
existing prioritised defects (100% P1 P2; X% P3)
Decommissioning / Rationalisation of redundant equipment
Construction Fabric Maintenance / Tertiary Steel Scope
Fabric Maintenance (blasting & painting)
Obsolescence
LOS Microwave System, UPS, Navaids, etc
Maintenance
Power Generation, Crane, etc

Asset Integrity Rectification Programme Key Stats

4 satellite scopes completed over 21
month period (>300,000 man hours)

Completed circa 1300 workscopes

Replaced 12 obsolete systems (UPS,
NAVAID & LOS) from each asset

1 Helideck replacement carried out

Removed circa 480Te of redundant steel
Replaced 3.75km of Unistrut
5000 litres of paint applied
527Te scaffolding erected/dismantled
