Asset Integrity Management for Offshore and Onshore Structures

Oil and gas assets are under constant pressure and engineers and managers need integrity management training and strategies to ensure their operations are safe. Gaining practical guidance is not trained ahead of time and learned on the job. Asset Integrity Management of Offshore and Onshore Structures delivers a critical training tool for engineers to prepare and mitigate safety risk. Starting with a transitional introductory chapter, the reference dives into integrity management approaches including codes and standards. Inspection, assessment, and repair methods are covered for offshore, FPSO, onshore and pipelines. Suggested proactive approaches and modeling risk-based inspection are also included. Supported with case studies, detailed discussions, and practical applications, Asset Integrity Management of Offshore and Onshore Structures gives oil and gas managers a reference to extend asset life, reduce costs, and minimalize impact to personnel and environment.

Mohamed A. El-Reedy's background is in structural engineering. His main area of research is reliability of concrete and steel structures. He has provided consulting to different engineering companies, the oil and gas industries in Egypt, and international oil companies such as the International Egyptian Oil Company (IEOC) and British Petroleum (BP). Moreover, he provides different concrete and steel structure design packages for residential buildings, warehouses, and telecommunication towers, and for electrical projects with a major oil and gas construction company in Egypt. He has participated in Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) and Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) projects with international engineering firms. Currently, Dr. El-Reedy is responsible for reliability, inspection, and maintenance strategy for onshore concrete structures and offshore steel structure platforms. He has performed these tasks for a hundred structures in the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea. Mohamed earned a PhD in structural engineering, a M.Sc degree in materials and concrete technology, and a B.Sc. in civil engineering, all from Cairo University.
