“…Asset integrity management has evolved over the last few decades, from simple time-based inspections of key equipment to risk and reliability-centered management systems for all safety-critical parts [ 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Asset integrity management encompasses a number of elements that are critical to the long-term viability and serviceability of offshore installations, as seen in various field developments [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. This would help to prevent offshore accidents like Ranger I Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU), Petrobras-36, Macondo Well’s Deepwater Horizon Blowout and Piper Alpha offshore accidents [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ].…”

Recent activities in the oil and gas industry have shown an increasing need for monitoring engagements, such as in shipping, logistics, exploration, drilling, or production. Hence, there is a need to have asset management of these offshore assets (or facilities). Much of the offshore infrastructure is currently approaching or past its operational life expectancy. The study presents an overview on asset management of offshore facilities towards monitoring, safe practices, maintenance, and sustainability. This study outlines the major considerations and the steps to take when evaluating asset life extensions for an aging offshore structure (or asset). The design and construction of offshore structures require some materials that are used to make the structural units, such as offshore platform rigs, ships, and boats. Maintaining existing assets in the field and developing new platforms that are capable of extracting future oil and gas resources are the two key issues facing the offshore sector. This paper also discusses fault diagnosis using sensors in the offshore facilities. The ocean environment is constantly corrosive, and the production activities demand extremely high levels of safety and reliability. Due to the limited space and remote location of most offshore operations, producing cost-effective, efficient, and long-lasting equipment necessitates a high level of competence. This paper presents the guidelines on asset monitoring, sustainable maintenance, and safety practices for offshore structures. In this study, the management of offshore structures were also presented with some discussions on fault monitoring using sensors. It also proposes sustainable asset management approaches as guidelines that are advised, with policy implications.

“…4 Subsea pipelines can also extend into tremendous depths, with one of the deepest pipelines installed at 9500 ft. (;2,900 m) in the US GoM. 5 Similarly ambitious is the Nord Stream, which is so far the longest single subsea pipeline, stretching across 761 miles (;1220 km) in the Baltic Sea. 4 Transportation of produced hydrocarbons have always been a major financial concern for the industry, as transportation by either pipeline or by tankers requires major, upfront investment before any hydrocarbon is produced.…”

One of the largest movers of the world economy is the oil and gas industry. The industry generates billions of barrels of oil to match more than half the world’s energy demands. Production of energy products at such a massive scale is supported by the equally massive oil and gas infrastructure sprawling around the globe. Especially characteristic of the industry are vast networks of pipelines that traverse tens of thousands of miles of land and sea to carry oil and gas from the deepest parts of the earth to faraway destinations. With such lengths come increased chances for damage, which can have disastrous consequences owing to the hazardous substances typically carried by pipelines. Subsea pipelines in particular face increased risk due to the typically harsher environments, the difficulty of accessing deepwater pipelines, and the possibility of sea currents spreading leaked oil across a wide area. The opportunity for research and engineering to overcome the challenge of subsea inspection and monitoring is tremendous and the progress in this area is continuously generating exciting new developments that may have far reaching benefits far outside of subsea pipeline inspection and monitoring. Thus, this review covers the most often used subsea inspection and monitoring technologies as well as their most recent developments and future trends.

“…As the oil and gas production is heading towards the ultra-deep water reservoirs at a depth of 3000 m or more, higher collapse resistance of flexible risers is being required to counter the huge hydro-static pressure [4][5][6]. Normally, the external pressure is resisted by all the layers within the riser body.…”
