SYNOPSIS   

Offshore structural integrity and assurance form a critical component of asset lifecycle management, ensuring that offshore facilities remain safe, reliable, and fit for purpose throughout their operational life. The structural integrity framework is established in accordance with API Recommended Practice 2SIM and the Company’s Structural Integrity Management System (SIMS), providing a systematic, risk-based approach to managing structural performance from design through decommissioning. This framework integrates design intent, operational requirements, inspection findings, and degradation mechanisms to maintain structural fitness-for-service under prevailing environmental and operational loads.

Structural assurance activities encompass preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, and comprehensive anomaly management, supported by inspection, monitoring, assessment, and remediation processes. Preventive maintenance aims to mitigate degradation mechanisms such as corrosion, fatigue, and accidental damage, while corrective maintenance addresses identified deficiencies to restore structural capacity. Anomaly assurance ensures that all structural findings are technically evaluated, risk-ranked, and managed through engineering assessments, including strength checks, redundancy evaluation, and life extension analysis where required.

The overall objective of the structural integrity and assurance framework is to ensure that offshore assets remain robust, compliant, and capable of withstanding extreme and accidental load conditions while safely accommodating operational demands. This holistic approach safeguards personnel, protects the environment, and supports sustainable asset operation up to and beyond the original design life, subject to demonstrated structural adequacy.
