This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:

• Engineering Asset Management & Asset Integrity Management personnel
• Technical Safety personnel
• Engineers involved in maintenance and modification projects
• Inspection and maintenance analysis and planning personnel
• Project managers and project engineers
• Technical discipline responsible personnel

An Asset Integrity Management (AIM) program provides a backbone and incorporates design, maintenance, inspection, process, operations, and management concepts, making an optimal return on investments. This highly informative training course in Dubai initiates the concept of Asset Management (AM) in the offshore and onshore industry (ISO 55000). Then, it focuses on the concept of AIM (i.e. design, technical and operation integrity) in the safeguarding of the operational system. The approaches to reliability-centered maintenance (RCM), failure mode effect and criticality analysis (FMECA), risk-based maintenance (RBI), an inspection of static process equipment, maintenance planning of rotating equipment, mitigate the challenges due to human factor, effective project management strategies, etc. are delivered.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Manage assets in the petroleum industry in a sustainable and safe manner
• Assess & control Asset Integrity of operational assets in production & process systems
• Perform integrity management on the topside and subsea systems
• Realize overall asset process in a systems engineering perspective
• Use of adaptive technologies and techniques in engineering projects

The training course is presented with the support of industrial case studies to deliver the main concepts. Apart from that basic theory, concepts and related standards/regulations/guidelines are explained briefly to point out the AIM related applications in real-life projects. Powerpoint presentations, group discussions, and sharing of project experiences are formally harmonized during the sessions.
