Asset Integrity Management for Oil & Gas Facilities

07 – 11 December 2026 | Abu Dhabi | US$4,750

22 – 26 February 2027 | Dubai | US$4,750

Course Description

Managing the integrity of pressurized and static equipment (vessels, tanks, piping, and heat exchangers) is central to both incident prevention and cost control across oil & gas and petrochemical operations. This course builds a structured, risk-based approach to asset integrity management, moving participants from understanding degradation mechanisms through to designing an inspection program that focuses resources where risk is actually highest.

The course is built around Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) principles consistent with API 580 / API 581, giving participants a practical methodology they can apply directly to their own facility’s equipment list.

This course will feature:

  • Structured coverage of degradation and corrosion mechanisms affecting static equipment
  • Practical application of Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) methodology
  • Fitness-for-service assessment principles for pressure equipment
  • Case studies drawn from real integrity management decisions
  • A capstone workshop designing the core components of an integrity management system

What are the Goals?

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

  • Identify common degradation and corrosion mechanisms affecting static equipment
  • Design the core components of an asset integrity management system
  • Apply Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) principles to prioritize inspection activities
  • Interpret inspection data to support integrity decision-making
  • Conduct fitness-for-service assessments for pressure equipment
  • Align integrity management practices with turnaround and shutdown planning

How will this course be presented?

This course is highly interactive and focused on real-world application, including:

The course pairs instructor-led technical sessions on degradation mechanisms and RBI methodology with case-study analysis drawn from real integrity management scenarios. Participants work through hands-on exercises interpreting inspection data and prioritizing inspection activity, supported by group workshops that apply RBI and fitness-for-service concepts to a simulated equipment list. Open discussion segments give participants the chance to compare integrity management practices across different facility types and operating environments.

Who is this training course for?

This course is designed for professionals responsible for the safe, continued operation of static and pressurized equipment.

  • Asset Integrity Engineers
  • Inspection Engineers
  • Maintenance & Reliability Managers
  • HSE Managers
  • Plant Engineers responsible for static equipment
  • Regulatory and Compliance personnel overseeing facility integrity

Duration: 5 Days
