Structural risk-based inspection (RBI) for offshore asset life extension study (ALES)

The assessment of ageing assets is a critical component of asset integrity management, necessitating a structured and systematic evaluation of the asset's current condition, identification of operational and structural risks, and the implementation of targeted mitigation strategies. This study applies structural risk-based inspection (RBI) methodology within an offshore asset life extension study (ALES) framework. By evaluating structural failure probabilities and consequences, this approach enables operators to optimize inspection planning, minimize operational downtime, and ensure regulatory compliance while safely extending the asset's lifecycle
