The number of ageing platforms is increasing globally and a substantial number are facing operation beyond their intended design life.
Structural integrity management is becoming an important part of the offshore engineer’s role and it is becoming necessary for operators to perform an assessment of their structures on a regular basis. The monitoring of any “significant change” of a structure is becoming a major part of asset management programs.
On Line Monitoring is a logical and cost-effective part of a platform integrity management programme, and can reduce cost while increasing reliability. Use of OLM is consistent with API RP2A and API SIM policies. Operators are showing ever increasing interest in the capability of OLM as they continually try and extend the field life of maturing assets.
Active monitoring of offshore structures can be particularly useful in confirming structural integrity is maintained after significant events (such as hurricanes, earthquakes or collisions) without the expense associated with a visual inspection.
