Integrity management applies to all

processes along the value chain, including

relationships with other companies. It

plays a critically important role in day-

to-day operations and spans the entire

asset lifecycle. Xodus uses an integrated

management system to apply technical,

operational and organisational solutions

to reduce risk, improve safety, minimise

environmental releases and improve asset

performance while reducing costs. Our

independence can enhance your credibility;

at the same time we can integrate with your

organisation to provide practical support.

Xodus helps organisations in the oil and gas

and petrochemical industries to establish

and maintain integrity management systems.

Combining our technical capabilities with

our broad range of skills and expertise,

and using resources available from our

offices worldwide, we can embed integrity

management into entire organisations,

specific departments or individual projects.

At the project level, we can provide support

from the design phase. This allows integrity

threats to be identified and resolved from

the start of a development when they are

easier and cheaper to deal with and allows

effective integrity management to be

performed throughout the operational life of

the asset and into life extension.

Versatility

Listening closely to the requirements of our

customers, Xodus tailors the delivery of

integrity support by providing services and

personnel that are a precise fit. For some

clients that means drawing on support

from Xodus personnel across the entire

range of our services. Others choose to call

on selected capabilities or even selected

individuals. Whatever the arrangement, we

work hard to manage interfaces effectively

and deliver the optimum result.

As a global operation, Xodus recognises

that in the Americas, Europe, Middle

East, West Africa and Asia Pacific there

are wide and varied regulations, regional

requirements and specific laws, as well as

differing environments onshore and offshore.

Our service can be tailored to meet the

regulations specific to your facility g

Integrity – a process, not an eventEffective integrity management establishes that people, processes, plant and systems are in place and that an asset is fit-for-purpose over the whole of its lifecycle. If this is achieved, personnel safety, environmental protection and production continuity can be maintained consistently.

Potential failures that could endanger

the health and safety of personnel,

compromise the safe operation of the plant

or damage the environment are prevented.

It also allows barriers to be managed and

risks to be reduced to a level as low as

reasonably practicable. Xodus uses an

integrity management framework that

considers people, processes, plant and

systems, collectively working towards a

common objective with our clients – to

implement long-term company strategies

and processes that prevent any breach of

integrity in the asset g

Integrity Management FrameworkAn integrity management framework allows integrity threats to be identified and effective mitigation measures to be put in place throughout the operating life of an asset.

› Philosophy – a high level statement of

commitment to integrity management

› Strategy – system rationalisation,

boundaries of equipment and plant,

risk based methodology, monitoring

strategies and technology applications

› Plans – inspection and monitoring plans

in the context of operational activities

› Procedures – inspection procedures and

written schemes of examination detailing

method and acceptance criteria g

Integrity Management SystemsXodus assists clients in creating integrity management systems based on a suite of documents that have been proven to ingrain integrity management into the culture of the organisation:

No single TIA element can stand alone

without the others. All must be in place,

collectively providing visibility of the

technical integrity status including any

threats to technical integrity, with the means

available through established processes to

enable effective management and control.

Xodus offers independent technical

integrity assurance activities including

technical support, audits, reviews and

studies. Collectively, these activities provide

assurance where processes and practices

are satisfactory, and visibility where there

is opportunity for improvement. Successful

application of TIA allows our clients to

manage their asset integrity effectively and

supports the operations and maintenance

functions throughout the installation lifecycle.

Technical gap analysis

With the focus on the organisation’s

Asset Integrity Management System

(AIMS), we conduct front end operational

readiness analysis, and periodic reviews for

continuous development.

Technical support

Xodus can provide an independent

service or fully integrate with our client

representative to provide technical

support. Our services include developing

integrity management systems, strategies

and procedures, delivering technical

studies, carrying out Computerised

Maintenance Management System

(CMMS) validation, area condition

monitoring and quality assurance.

Technical integrity audit

With the focus on operations and

maintenance strategies and critical

processes, our scope includes electrical,

mechanical, structural and welding, piping

and corrosion, telecommunications, PA

and radio systems, drilling safety systems,

safeguarding systems, environmental

management system, strategies and critical

processes and regulatory compliance. In

addition to desktop analysis we conduct

validation checks on the installation. Our

frequency of the services varies from annual

audit programmes to stand-alone audits.

Xodus operates worldwide so we adapt our

audits to suit local statutory regulations,

codes or standards, as well as our clients’

own standards and industry good practice.

Operational excellence

This area of our service is geared to clients

who wish to set Minimum Acceptable

Standards (MAS) and who strive to be

internationally recognised world-class

performers. By engaging management and

the workforce to continually improve their

understanding of operational excellence,

and through the use of formal detailed

analysis, we provide:

› Development of key performance metrics

− Upstream: focus is on people, process,

plant and production

− Real estate: focus is on people,

process, statutory compliance and

maintaining business focus

› Detailed analysis of current performance

› Gap analysis

› MAS

› Ongoing technical support.

Technical studies

We produce technical studies that cover

the asset lifecycle and incorporate various

analytical techniques and methods of

problem solving.

The purpose of a subsea integrity

management system is to provide a

demonstrable, auditable system for

the management of operating integrity

throughout the life of each subsea asset.

Assets are considered as a system with

sub-divisions including the wellheads,

trees, subsea modules (PLETs, PLEMs,

Terminations, HFLs and EFLs), flowlines,

pipelines, risers, flexjoints and umbilicals.

The implemented systems developed by

Xodus include the inspection, monitoring

and testing methods adopted for the

purposes of the subject asset, as well as to

define the baseline and periodic inspection,

monitoring and testing requirements

for each equipment type. Inspection,

monitoring and testing activities generate

up-to-date information with regard to the

condition of the production, transportation

and processing facilities. Xodus also

develops methodologies to process and

interpret this data so the asset can be

operated safely and efficiently, fitness

for service can be assessed objectively,

integrity can be managed prudently and

lifetime expectations can be met g

For pipelines transporting hazardous

substances, the consequences of poor

integrity management can be catastrophic

and could affect the resident workforce at

associated installations, the general public

in near proximity, and the environment.

Pipeline integrity management is therefore

an obvious priority for USDOT-PHMSA,

the Health & Safety Executive and global

pipeline operators.

Pipelines are subject to a range of

degradation mechanisms from both

internal and external sources. The relative

significance of the degradation will depend

upon factors such as the fluid(s) being

transported (including any contaminants),

the external environment, operating

parameters, materials of construction

and so on. The progressive deterioration

of assets such as pipelines is referred

to as ‘ageing’. Pipelines can also fail

through damage mechanisms that are

not age-related, for example, accidental

overpressure or dropped object damage.

All potential pipeline threats need to be

identified and assessed by operators

otherwise their pipelines may be at risk

of failure. Xodus develops programmes

that firstly identify the specific threats to

the integrity of the subject pipeline, then

assesses the potential consequences

and matches inspection and surveillance

methodologies accordingly g

From field concept through to export and

refining, the deeper the understanding

of the fluid characteristics before they

reach the production system, the more

opportunity there is to deal with threats

to integrity so that value can be released

from the asset.

FEED and EPIC stages

At the early stages of a project, Xodus

provides invaluable design input to ensure

that materials, vessel and pipework

geometry, isolations and coatings

are optimised with future inspection

requirements in mind – a result of our

hands-on understanding of in-service

inspection requirements.

We devise strategies covering data

acquisition and equipment Risk Based

Inspection (RBI), taking into account

available Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

technologies to maximise Non-Invasive

Inspection (NII). This minimises the costs

associated with these processes. Accurate

data from day one is essential to the long-

term delivery of integrity management.

We carry out baseline and continuous

inspection and data management –

managing work packs, reports, results

and RBI updates. Crucially, we support

our clients by analysing data as well as

populating client specified database tools.

We develop written schemes of

examination, future labour requirements,

required isolations, trades and next

inspection due dates so that procedures are

established and easily assimilated into your

day-to-day operations.

Risk-based inspection

Working closely with our client, Xodus

Group can tailor the RBI methodology

to ensure individual requirements for

pipework, pressure vessels, pipelines,

structures, tanks, relief valves, Pressure

Safety Valves (PSVs) and flexible hose

assemblies are satisfied.

Fitness for service

Fitness For Service (FFS) assessments

can be conducted to assess equipment

suitability for continued safe operation

following the identification of material

degradation or defects such as corrosion,

erosion or impact damage. Examples of the

procedures we use are:

› RStreng and B31G

› API579/ASME FFS

› BS7910

› ASME PCC-2 repair of pressure

equipment and piping

› Detailed finite element modelling and

non-linear analysis.

Integrity management support
