What is Integrity Management?
IM : Integrity Management
Integrity of an Asset or System:
the asset/system fulfil the design requirements
throughout its whole lifecycle
ensure fitness for purpose of assets with optimal use of effort
whilst complying with company policies and regulatory requirements
a continuous process of Knowledge and Experience Management applied
throughout the lifecycle to assure that the asset/system is managed cost effectively
and safely and remains reliable and available, with due focus on personnel, assets,
operations and environment
IM activities:
The activities to control and document the integrity for the whole operational life
IM aims to IM aims to ensure the integrity ensure the integrityof an asset/system within a of an asset/system within a
set of set of specified specifiedoperational operational limitations limitations throughout the throughout the lifecycle lifecycle

What should we focus on?
Avoid (major) accidents
Comply with regulations and authority
requirements
Comply with codes and standards, e.g.
DNV Codes, API standards, Company
standards, etc. (acceptance criteria,
requirements, PIM system )
Protect reputation
Meet production targets / minimum
downtime (economy)
Low maintenance costs

Develop a Well Risk Management System
Critical Issues
- Old installation has shut down wells due to leak caused by barrier
degradation
Solution:
- Preparing a reliability analysis for each well including flow analysis
and evaluation of fire and explosion potential.
- Evaluating the effect of degraded compared to intact well in
production with and without gas lift as well as in shut-in condition.
- Prepared a method for analysis which can be updated when the
operational conditions change.
- Acceptance criteria based on fire and explosion risk or environmental
risk.
Value Delivered:
- Providing risk based acceptance criteria's for evaluation of degraded
well barriers.
- Presenting the total leak risk from all platform wells
- Extensive expertise and knowledge from DNV on the system from

Critical Issue
- Expected subsidence by year 2028 is as
much as 12m at the centre of the Ekofisk
complex giving large wave loads on risers
just underneath the deck structure.
- New extreme design waves.
- Corrosion. Some risers are from the 1970s.
ConocoPhillips Life Extension of Ekofisk Risers
Scope
- All critical risers are to be verified with
respect to prolonged service life.
Solution
- Non-linear time domain FE analyses of
risers. CFD analyses of wave loads.
