ExxonMobil Production Facility Integrity Management System

Abstract

Abstract The paper will provide an overview of the system developed and adopted by ExxonMobil Production Company for managing integrity and reliability of production facilities within our Operations Integrity Management Framework. The paper will cover principles, scope, key elements, processes and workflows associated with the Facility Integrity Management System (FIMS). It will also discuss critical success factors for effective implementation and lessons learned. Safety, health and the environment are of the highest priority. Production downtime and unplanned maintenance can have significant financial and reputation impacts. Effective facility integrity and reliability management is a key element to achieving desired performance in these areas. Our structured approach to Equipment Class Program Design, Execution, Stewardship and Continuous Improvement has provided clarity on key maintenance, testing and inspection activities, and their effectiveness at achieving Program objectives. Learnings can then be incorporated back into the Program to improve effectiveness and efficiency. The general principles outlined in this paper will provide insight on the approach to successful facility integrity and reliability management and critical success factors. The experience in developing and implementing the system will be of direct interest to professionals engaged in engineering, maintenance and operations of facilities related to oil and gas production. Introduction Overview ExxonMobil remains steadfast in its commitment to excellence in Safety, Security, Health and Environmental (SSH&E) performance. In addition, high emphasis is place on production reliability and efficient, effective maintenance of our operations. ExxonMobil's Operations Integrity Management System (OIMS) is a cornerstone in managing SSH&E risk and achieving excellence in performance, and includes specific expectations for facility integrity and reliability management. ExxonMobil Production Company has addressed this aspect of OIMS through a comprehensive Facility Integrity Management System or FIMS. FIMS addresses the standards, processes, best practices and activities necessary for managing integrity and reliability of critical facilities within our production operations, and has been successfully implemented throughout ExxonMobil's operated production business globally.
