“…Markeset et al (2013) identify and discuss maintenance challenges and maintenance practices for subsea petroleum production systems. The semi-structured face-to-face interviews has been conducted with a number of experts working in the subsea systems’ design, installation and support services in the Norwegian oil and gas industry.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assess TPM pillars for manufacturing performance improvement in the manufacturing organizations of Northern India and to identify critical and non-critical components based on failure history, to minimize machine downtime, maximize component/machine availability and to identify failure modes, their causes and effects of these failures on machines or components in the case company under study. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, TPM pillars in the paint manufacturing plant have been elaborated to ascertain the tangible and intangible benefits accrued as a result of successful TPM implementation. The approach has been directed toward justification of TPM implementation for its support to competitive manufacturing in the context of Indian manufacturing industries. Findings Findings suggest that maintenance planning is more effective than small improvements for achieving benefits from TPM pillars. Moreover, results indicated that critical components show average reliability and failure probability of about 50 percent. Originality/value The present study encompasses systematic identification of maintenance-related losses, setting up of targets regarding maintenance performance improvements and developing guidelines for achieving enhanced manufacturing system performance through strategic TPM implementation in the manufacturing plant, which can also be important to all concerned with maintenance in various manufacturing enterprises.

“…Degradation of production equipment is one of the contributor factors to this drop. Abnormal behavior of subsea equipment can be detected by condition monitoring solutions and information sensed by instrumentation is sent to the control module and interpreted by the operational teams (Markeset, Moreno-Trejo, & Kumar, 2013) to allow informed decisions guiding the operation and maintenance.…”

“…Hence, traditional maintenance can incur huge expense and consequential damage for an asset and the environment-such as pollution, loss of production, etc. (Markeset, Moreno-Trejo, & Kumar, 2013;Uyiomendo & Markeset, 2015). In recent years, traditional maintenance activities in the oil and gas industry are transforming through the adoption of CBM which are ensuring efficient maintenance, reducing lifecycle costs and improving the systems' overall availability.…”

The design of a subsea production system needs to ensure high reliability and safety figures since these assets will be deployed in harsh environments for extended periods of time. Maintenance costs associated with these systems represent a significant percentage of the total operational expenditure incurred by an Oil & Gas operator. Traditional reactive maintenance approaches applied on subsea equipment are starting to drop in their efficiency as degradation occurs on such systems resulting in prolonged downtime periods. Prognostics and Health Management is a relatively new topic and other industry sectors have demonstrated that it can provide a solution for reducing maintenance costs and improving systems' overall availability. This paper presents a prognostic and health management development process suitable for subsea production systems.

“…However, while previous studies are mainly focused on maintenance rather than AI as a holistic approach (see e.g. Karim et al, 2009;Tsang, 2002;Markeset, 2013), AIM requires organisations to manage their asset holistically (Kumar et al, 2009). Thus, in order to acquire a broader perspective on AIM practices in organisations, it was necessary to perform a study through direct research with the practitioners.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the challenges facing asset integrity management (AIM) practices in the oil and gas industry, in order to continually develop AIM practices in organisations. The focus is to investigate various challenges in fluctuating oil and gas market conditions, and how organisations can continuously ensure the safety and integrity of their offshore facilities. Design/methodology/approach – AIM challenges were identified by analysing data from literature study, guided interviews and web-based questionnaire with industrial experts in regions in North America, Southeast Asia and Norway. The results are validated through triangulation method with both quantitative and qualitative technique, as well as comparison with other studies. Findings – The paper identifies, analyses and validates the challenges and factors that may impact the management of asset integrity on offshore installations. The challenges were discussed to develop understanding of the root cause and thus aim to resolve underlying issues. Research limitations/implications – The paper focuses on offshore production installations with experts from organisations that have experience in Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, South Asia, Southeast Asia and Norway fields. The sample of respondents may not represent the entire population; however, the same approach and result can be used in similar topics and conditions. Originality/value – The identified challenges can be used by organisations to resolve underlying AIM challenges, improve their AIM strategy and obtain insights into current AIM practices in the petroleum industry.
