Abstract

Oil companies and relevant institutions are becoming increasingly aware that effective measures must be put in place to extend the life of installations that are approaching, or have passed, the end of their design lifetime. The implementation of ageing management (AM) facilitates ensuring that the degradation of the installations is properly controlled and mitigated, and their integrity is maintained during the life extension. Integrating AM within an existing process such as maintenance management, which shares various goals and objectives with AM, seems to have several advantages over the alternative of creating a new process for AM. A key issue is to identify and optimize the changes in the maintenance management process for addressing and managing ageing. This paper reports on the use of a systems engineering approach and information models for identifying the “as is” and “to be” processes of existing maintenance management of an oil and gas facility in order to fulfill the new requirements for AM. The primary contribution of this report is to demonstrate the power of these models, combined with a systems engineering process, to reverse engineer legacy practices as the basis for introducing new processes, procedures and training. ©2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
