Effective, Holistic, Cost Efficient Strategies To Extend The Life of Aging Assets

The challenge of extending the life of aging assets is forcing Canadian operators to turn to asset integrity as the solution to achieve more with less in maintaining the performance of existing infrastructure.

Asset Integrity Canada 2013 is the first industry-led initiative to help you successfully build an asset integrity framework to overcome the most critical people, process, and technology challenges to asset integrity success. By applying a best practice framework you will have the necessary tools required to maximize the technical and operational performance of assets.

At the end of this meeting, you will be able to understand how you can implement a new or enhance your existing asset integrity strategy, overcome the most critical barriers to implementation success, and train your workforce to ensure that integrity becomes part of the fabric of the organization.

Attend to find out how you can:

• Link asset integrity and process safety: Understand how Shell Canada and EOG Resources Canada are improving asset integrity by protecting upstream underground assets from 3rd party crossings and encroachment damage
• Link QA/QC to a total integrity management strategy: Examine how Apache has implemented a total integrity management program to ensure the safe design, manufacturing, operations and maintenance of pressure equipment and piping
• Use data capture, quality and management as keys to integrity success: Evaluate how CNRL has efficiently used data tracking to make better decisions and extend the life of aging assets
• Move from disaster avoidance to competitive advantage: Discover what the future holds for asset integrity in Canada and how you can ensure you move forward faster
• Benchmark against the best practice currently being applied across Canada and around the world: Take advantage of the lessons learned from Canada’s most proactive integrity thought leaders

Who should attend?

This initiative is tailored to those directly involved in the development and implementation of asset integrity programs but also inspection, maintenance, reliability, facilities, operations, HSE, corrosion and engineering functions from upstream, midstream and downstream companies.

Benefits of attending

• Turn integrity theory into reality: Apply invaluable lessons learned in overcoming the barriers to integrity success from Suncor, Nexen, Shell Canada, Apache, Enbridge and more.
• Integrate people, process and technology: Build and implement a framework which addresses the three most critical success factors for integrity success.
• Overcome the human integrity challenge: Discover how Canadian operators are developing a culture of asset integrity to increase effective implementation.
• Enhance integrity performance: Understand how KPIs are being used by pioneering companies to improve the performance of integrity management systems.
• Improve the economics of aging infrastructure: Examine brand new strategies being applied to cost-effectively extend the life of aging Canadian assets.
• Successfully link process safety and asset integrity: Achieve operational excellence by learning from worldwide operator experience.
