Course Introduction
This intensive training course provides a comprehensive overview of Asset Integrity Management (AIM) with a focus on materials engineering, corrosion control, and the lifecycle management of oil & gas production, processing, and transportation assets. Participants will gain a deep understanding of how to prevent failures, extend asset life, and ensure operational safety and efficiency in line with global standards and best practices.
Course Objectives
Participants will learn to:
- Implement a full Asset Integrity Management System (AIMS)
- Analyze degradation mechanisms and corrosion threats
- Select materials compatible with process conditions and environments
- Integrate design, maintenance, and inspection for life-cycle integrity
- Apply international standards such as API, NACE, ASME, and ISO
