Why Choose Us

The Asset Integrity Management Course for the Petroleum Industry gives petroleum, engineering, and maintenance professionals a structured, end-to-end understanding of asset integrity management — from ISO 55000 principles and risk assessment frameworks through to risk-based maintenance, lifecycle management, and continuous improvement.

In the oil & petroleum industry, asset integrity is not just an operational priority it is a safety and business imperative. Equipment failures, unplanned shutdowns, and integrity breaches in upstream, midstream, and downstream environments carry severe consequences for people, the environment, production continuity, and organisational reputation.

This course addresses the full asset integrity management system covering the AIM landscape, risk and risk-based maintenance, Risk Based Inspection (RBI), RAMS specifications, lifecycle extension decisions, maintenance workflow, and human factors. Every module is grounded in petroleum industry context and aligned with international standards.

The Asset Integrity Management course for the petroleum industry is designed for professionals responsible for the integrity, reliability, and performance of critical oil and petroleum assets who want structured knowledge and practical tools to manage them with confidence.

Why Choose Asset Integrity Management for the Petroleum Industry
Course Goals

What are the Goals?

The Asset Integrity Management Course for the Petroleum Industry is designed to develop comprehensive asset integrity management capability from AIM system design and ISO 55000 alignment through to risk-based maintenance, lifecycle decision-making, and performance improvement.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain the concept of asset integrity management and apply the asset management landscape process model
  • Describe the components of the AIM system — including policy, strategy, and asset management plans — and understand the line of sight between them
  • Define asset management roles and apply the ISO 55000 series international standard to petroleum industry contexts
  • Identify and assess risk at business, system, and asset levels using risk matrices, risk registers, and hazard logs
  • Develop contingency plans and apply risk management principles to petroleum asset operations
  • Apply the seven steps of Risk Based Maintenance (RBM) and Reliability Centred Maintenance (RCM) including FMECA
  • Conduct Risk Based Inspection (RBI) and select appropriate maintenance tasks based on failure behaviour analysis
  • Apply systems engineering methodology and RAMS specifications to asset lifecycle management decisions
  • Evaluate lifetime extension and asset rationalisation options with integrity-informed decision-making
  • Measure maintenance performance, manage human error risks, and build structured continuous improvement plans

Who is this Training Course for?

The asset integrity management course for the petroleum industry is designed for engineering, operations, maintenance, and integrity professionals working in the petroleum industry who are responsible for the performance, reliability, and safety of critical assets throughout their lifecycle.

This course is suitable for:

  • Asset integrity engineers and managers responsible for petroleum asset performance and compliance
  • Maintenance engineers and planners developing risk-based maintenance and inspection strategies
  • Reliability engineers applying RCM, FMECA, and RBI frameworks to petroleum systems
  • Operations managers overseeing the integrity and availability of upstream, midstream, or downstream assets
  • HSE professionals managing risk assessment, hazard identification, and safety case requirements
  • Asset managers developing lifecycle management strategies and investment decisions
  • Technical professionals involved in ISO 55000 implementation within petroleum organisations
  • Graduate engineers entering asset integrity or maintenance roles in the petroleum industry
Learning Approach

How will this Training Course be Presented?

The asset integrity management course for the petroleum industry is delivered through a technically structured, progressive learning approach that moves from AIM system fundamentals and risk frameworks through to risk-based maintenance, lifecycle management, and continuous improvement planning. Each day builds on the previous, ensuring delegates develop an integrated understanding of how all components of an effective asset integrity management system work together.

Practical exercises and petroleum industry case examples are integrated throughout the course, helping participants apply key frameworks to real operational challenges encountered in the oil and petroleum field.

Delivery methods include:

  • Instructor-led sessions covering AIM concepts, ISO 55000 standards, risk frameworks, and lifecycle management principles
  • Risk assessment workshops applying risk matrices, risk registers, and hazard logs to petroleum asset scenarios
  • RBM and RCM methodology sessions working through the seven-step process including FMECA and failure behaviour analysis
  • Risk Based Inspection workshops applying RBI principles to onshore and offshore petroleum systems
  • Maintenance task selection exercises helping delegates choose the right maintenance strategy for different failure modes
  • RAMS and lifecycle management sessions covering reliability, availability, maintainability, and safety specification development
  • Lifetime extension and rationalisation discussions supporting integrity-informed asset investment decisions
  • Continuous improvement and performance measurement workshops developing improvement plans grounded in maintenance execution data

Frequently Asked Questions

This course is designed for asset integrity engineers, maintenance professionals, reliability engineers, operations managers, and HSE specialists working in the petroleum industry who need a structured, comprehensive understanding of how to manage the integrity, reliability, and performance of critical assets. It is suitable for both experienced professionals deepening their AIM capability and those stepping into asset integrity responsibilities for the first time.  

Day 1 covers the full AIM system structure — including the Asset Management Landscape process model, AIM policy, strategy, and asset management plans, the line of sight between each component, and the roles required to make the system function effectively. Delegates develop a clear picture of what a complete, well-structured AIM system looks like and what is required to implement and sustain one in a petroleum industry context.  

RBI is covered as an integral part of Day 3 — explaining how inspection strategies are developed based on the probability and consequence of asset failure rather than fixed time intervals. Delegates learn how RBI complements RBM and how the two approaches work together to optimise asset integrity management while managing inspection resource efficiently.  

No prior knowledge of ISO 55000 is required. The course introduces the ISO 55000 series as part of the AIM system framework — explaining what the standard requires, how it applies to petroleum industry asset management, and how to align organisational AIM practices with its requirements. Delegates leave with a clear understanding of the standard and how to apply it practically within their own organisations.  

Day 2 is dedicated to risk and risk assessment — covering risk identification and assessment at business, system, and asset levels, and the application of risk matrices, risk registers, and hazard logs to petroleum operations. Delegates develop a structured approach to risk management that goes beyond reactive incident response — building the proactive risk capability that effective asset integrity requires.  

Human error in maintenance execution is addressed directly within Day 5 — covering how human factors contribute to integrity failures, what conditions increase error risk, and how maintenance workflows and execution standards can be designed to minimise human error impact. For petroleum industry professionals, understanding and managing this dimension of asset integrity is as important as any technical or engineering consideration.
