Optimizing maintenance strategies

09:10 Independent Technical Integrity Verification Of SCEs; Methodology, Tools And Corrective Action

Describing the methodologies and tools that have been developed and implemented for the assessment and maintenance of technical integrity of SCEs for Shell EP Middle East Joint Venture companies through independent verification of technical integrity (hardware) barriers. This will be based on the experience of ABS Consulting in relation to their on-going TIHBV contract with Shell EPM. The response to identified integrity nonconformance and the implementation of corrective action will also be discussed – in general.
