Abstract

As the offshore plant industry continues to shrink in recent years, oil majors and operators of offshore platforms are interested in reducing costs. They are strategically adopting efficient and economical operation and management (O&M) of offshore plant equipment as part of their cost savings. AIM(Asset Integrity Management) is emerging to responding to low price of oil and high cost of maintenance. They try to adopt as an alternative Condition-based Maintenance (CBM) which is active and aggressive operation and maintenance plans instead of Time-based Maintenance(TBM) which is a conservative maintenance plans. In this paper, we discuss the development and application of a CBM platform to support CBM processes for offshore plants. We firstly describe the definition and related research works of offshore plant condition based maintenance, and introduce the CBM solution which is the software for the maintenance application of offshore plant equipments. Based on these backgrounds, we derive the requirements of the CBM platform and describe the role and function of it, and present the test case of application to the offshore plant equipment using the core functions. The CBM processes are unfolded around the CBM platform and it gives to enable the usage of diagnostic, prognostic, and maintenance services.
