2. INTRODUCTION
A wider concept of asset Integrity is that defined in the “Operation Management System” (Ref. /38/,
Section C.2.1.), where asset Integrity is defined as “an unimpaired state of fitness of an asset to
operate for its specified, validated and verified designed purpose”. Asset Integrity Assurance (AIA)
process encourages a value based management of the asset, so that production targets can be
achieved without taking decision which may result in a long term loss of value. Hence a structured
approach to Asset Integrity Assurance represents a necessary condition for ensuring the
achievement of full value realization during production operations.
Integrity of an oil and gas asset is the result of a multi-disciplinary approach, that necessitates giving
due consideration to the performance of materials in the specific environments, the economics of the
oil industry and local operations, the tolerable level of risk and the viable technological resources that
may be deployed to reduce integrity-risk to acceptable levels. This requires an appropriate
understanding of management, technical, operational and safety issues.
During the lifecycle of an oil and gas asset, activities shall be carried out to ensure integrity be
maintained from first evaluation through to decommissioning. For the success of integrity activities it
is necessary that the integrity management system is designed, made-up and continuously revised
and optimised during the full service life. Key integrity processes are required from the early design
phase and have to be continued with endeavour for each of the stage of the asset lifecycle.
Root causes for loss of asset integrity leading to failure of pressure containing systems and structural
items may include:
− inadequate design and/or material for the loading and operating environment;
− incorrect and/or defective manufacture;
− unanticipated in-service deterioration such as corrosion;
− system errors in operation or maintenance or over-pressure protection;
− malfunction of instrumentation, control systems or feed and utility supplies;
− human factors;
− external events such as fire, impacts, earthquakes or storms.
An integrity management strategy consists of measures to prevent, address and mitigate the
possibility of root causes of failure. Design reviews, quality assurance, training, and systems
analyses are examples of such measures. In-service inspection and monitoring are methods for
failure prevention when a root cause has led to deterioration from the design intent or the as-
manufactured condition.
With the term deterioration or degradation it is herein intended the onset or growth of damage or
defects which can be:
− macroscopic damage such as dents or gouges, bulging, deformation;
− general or localised wall thinning and pitting;
− material flaws, cracks, and welding defects;
− degradation of material properties due to changes in the material microstructure.
Deterioration can result from discrete events (e.g. welding flaws, impact damage) and the equipment
may remain in that condition without further change. It commonly relates to age and service, initiating
or becoming worse with time.
To guarantee effectiveness, the periodical inspection must be sufficiently frequent in relation to the
time between the deterioration becoming detectable and the onset of failure. Inspection techniques

must be selected which are capable to detect the deterioration of concern with sufficient reliability at
a sufficient early stage.
2.2 Corrosion
Corrosion of metallic materials, in particular of carbon and low alloy steels which still are the main
construction material, represents the main issue for the integrity of the oil and gas production assets.
Production facilities are exposed to external environment, as marine and industrial atmosphere,
seawater or soil and are in contact with produced hydrocarbons. These are not corrosive by
themselves, but corrosivity can be greatly enhanced by contaminants like carbon dioxide (CO2),
hydrogen sulphide (H2S) and salty water. Actually, several corrosion mechanisms exist which can
significantly affect the integrity and the durability of metallic materials.
Knowledge for corrosion prevention and control is incorporated into a number of approaches,
techniques and materials which, if correctly selected, designed and applied, allow to mitigate and
control the corrosion mechanisms and thus guarantee the integrity of the components. The main
techniques are:
− corrosion allowance for carbon steel items;
− use of corrosion resistant metallic materials;
− use of plastics;
− fluid treatment with chemicals, including: corrosion inhibitors, glycols, biocides, oxygen
scavengers, H2S scavengers;
− process intervention, including: phase separation, filtration, dehydration, deaeration, sweetening,
stabilization;
− cathodic protection;
− organic coatings and linings;
− metallic coatings (cladding or weld overlay).

The primary purpose of the Corrosion Integrity Management System is to ensure that people
involved in corrosion control in all phases of the project lifecycle have a clear understanding of what
they are required to do, how they should do it and when they have to do it.
The activities to be performed within the Corrosion Integrity Management System make reference to
OPDS (Opportunity and Project Development System) for the engineering phases and to the OPOS
(Opportunity and Production Operation System) for the production phases.

The task is mandatory for major projects and for new oil and gas fields located in harsh environments
or in presence of high contents of contaminants, in particular H2S and CO2.
The analysis shall include both external corrosion, affected by the natural environment, and internal
corrosion, dominated by composition of the reservoir fluids. Typical issues for this analysis are:
− review of atmospheric and soil corrosion conditions;
− review of marine conditions (in case of offshore developments), including: meteo-marine data;
sea water salinity;
− main exposure conditions of the production facilities: atmospheric, submerged, splash zone, ice,
etc.;
− review of corrosive agents in the reservoir fluids, including: CO2, H2S, salts, mercury, elemental
sulphur, etc.;
− identification of the expected corrosion and degradation mechanisms;
− categorization of the exposure conditions from corrosion viewpoint.
Depending on the project size, a unique study can be issued or more studies can be planned each
covering homogeneous facilities, e.g. wells, pipelines, process units. This deliverable is intended as
input for the definition of the corrosion control design task.

Design requirements for monitoring of cathodic protection systems, onshore and offshore, are usually
part of the cathodic protection design package and are part of the previous task ‘Materials and
corrosion control design’.
Monitoring of internal corrosion is usually performed by means of permanent probes (Ref. /16/), but
related requirements extend also to periodical chemical analysis, including residual concentration of
corrosion inhibitor, bacteria counts, etc., as well as to inspections by NDT. The following main issues
are part of the task activities:
− safety aspects;
− definition of corrosion monitoring and inspection philosophy;
− selection of monitoring and inspection techniques and probes;
− design of corrosion monitoring test points;
− data acquisition concept (hard-wiring or manual);
− procedures for probe retrieval or data collection;
− criteria for data storing, analysis and integration with process data;
− hardware and software requirements;
− chemical analysis requirements.

The first task is typically performed in case of materials, typically corrosion resistant alloys, whose
performance at expected field exposure conditions needs confirmation.
The second task is integral part of the procedure for the selection of chemicals, in particular corrosion
inhibitors, where their use is going to be adopted.
Field tests should be also planned, in particular as final step in corrosion inhibitor selection among
the products positively tested in laboratory.
Several applicable standard are also available from the international normative.

project life through constant updating of the stored data. The aim is to give easy access to all
information useful for corrosion management and asset integrity verification, in particular for

The risk of a corrosion failure combines the probability of the failure to occur with a measure of the
consequences of the failure. This definition envisages the main activities of the risk assessment
studies, which are:
− the assessment of the probability of a corrosion failure based on the identification of the
corrosion damage mechanisms, the rate of progression of the damage and the tolerance of the
item to damage, and
− the assessment of the consequences in case of failure, including safety, environment and
operability aspects.
Different procedures can be adopted using different level of the analysis (qualitative, semi-
quantitative and quantitative). In all cases, for each item the probability of corrosion and the entity of
the consequences are combined to give a corrosion risk ranking; the corrosion risk matrix represents
the most used and effective tool. If the probability/consequence combination (risk) is high enough to
be unacceptable, then a mitigation action for preventing the event is required.
The following types of equipment and associated components are typically covered in corrosion risk
assessment studies:
− pressure vessels - all pressure containing components;
− process piping - pipe and piping components;
− storage tanks - atmospheric and pressurized;
− boilers and heaters - pressurized components;
− heat exchangers (shells, heads, channels and bundles);
− pressure containing components of machinery (pumps, compressors).
The corrosion risk assessment studies can be issued in the development phase of a project, as
integral part of the corrosion management strategy, to verify the solutions adopted for corrosion
mitigation. In the first period of the operational phase, when actual operating data become available a
CRA (corrosion risk assessment) study is recommended. Then, the CRA study has to be periodical
reviewed and updated using the most recent operating data and, when available, corrosion
monitoring and inspection results.
Input data, output data, supports and contents of the task are illustrated in Figure 3.8.

Utilization of RBI provides a vehicle for continuously optimizing the inspection of facilities and
systematically reducing the risk associated with pressure boundary failures.
As new data (operating, inspection results, corrosion monitoring results, etc.) become available or
when changes occur, a corrosion (re)assessment is needed and a revision of the RBI program shall
be made appropriately.
RBI offers the added advantage of identifying gaps or shortcomings in the effectiveness of
commercially available inspection technologies and applications. In cases where technology cannot
adequately and/or cost-effectively mitigate risks, other risk mitigation approaches can be
implemented. RBI should serve to guide the direction of inspection technology development, and
hopefully promote a faster and broader deployment of emerging inspection technologies as well as
proven inspection technologies that may be available but are underutilized.

A number of inspections are planned in the ‘handover to operation’ phase, or at the very beginning of
the operational period, with the aim to get an inspection baseline of items to be periodically inspected
during operations. A typical example is the intelligent pig inspection of pipelines, run to obtain a
picture of possible damages developed during the constructional phase and in the mean time to have
a record to be used as reference for future inspections.
Corrosion monitoring includes periodical measurements, probe retrieval, chemical analysis, etc.,
performed by a Company team of corrosion engineers or by service companies (typically the service
company in charge for chemical treatments).
Inspection activities are planned based on the results of Risk Assessment activities (Risk Based
Inspections – see previous task), and they are managed in co-operation with the Maintenance
Department.
Typical deliverables for the corrosion monitoring and inspections task are:
− Corrosion Monitoring Periodical Reports;
− Chemical Analysis Bulletins;
− Inspection Reports;
− Cathodic Protection Reports.
