Integrity

Management Plan

Integrity Management Plan (part of an

asset integrity management system) is a
documented and systematic approach to
ensure the long-term integrity of an asset
or assets.[1]
Integrity management planning is a
process for assessing and mitigating risks
in an effort to reduce both the likelihood
and consequences of incidents.

Asset integrity plans are maintained and

reviewed regularly so that they:

Optimize operational and capital

expenditures
Ensure adoption of best-in-class
practices
Assist management of risk
 Increase shareholder, senior
management, regulator and public
confidence
Identify risks, conducting assessments,
taking preventive actions and
implementing mitigate measures

An effective IMP should contain:

A process outline – Details the process

envelope (temperature pressure and
velocity) in which the system operates
and any critical parameters that must be
followed. Also states process chemistry
and contaminants that are encountered
A threat identification list- Information
about the asset segments are evaluated
to identify the threats of concerns to the
asset and to assess risk
A Risk Analysis – A systematic process,
in which potential hazards from facility
operation are identified, and the
likelihood and consequences of
potential adverse events are estimated
Detailed Regulatory Requirements –
details the applicable regulatory
standards to be met and the methods
used to comply with those standards
A Responsibility assignment matrix –
Details the persons responsible,
accountable for any tasks to comply
with the requirements of the plan. It also
states those who should be
communicated to and Informed
Corrosion circuits – showing the system
broken down into corrosion circuits
shows damage mechanisms, materials
of construction and process chemistry
Damage frequency (statistics) rates of
decay
Critical operating parameters for
process safety
Mitigation techniques, frequency,
condition monitoring, inspections and
process monitoring requirements
Historic review of asset condition to-
date
 Knowledge gap analysis, missing
information, manufacturer's data report
(MDR), review drawings etc.
Previous failure analysis review
Design drawing review, materials of
construction (initial)
Management of change review,
alterations and repairs carried out
Remediation – Repairs techniques
considered

Also:
 Record keeping
Performance plan
Communication plan
Regular Interaction
Management of change
Prevention and Mitigation measures
How to conduct assessments /
frequency / audit of system

The Integrity Management Plan (IMP)

forms a part of the overall asset integrity
management system and is audited as per
the Integrity Engineering Audit (IEA).

Particularly post the Deepwater Horizon oil

spill, the role of asset integrity has never
been more critical to the global oil and gas
business. Not only can a well-managed
asset integrity plan help operators identify
and reduce safety risks before they
escalate but focusing on asset integrity
can also play a major role in both
achieving operational excellence and
extending the life of ageing assets. See
