The development of oil and gas fields offshore requires specialized
pipeline equipment. The structures must be strong enough to with stand
the harshest environments, and ensure that production is not interrupted
and remains economically feasible. However, recent events in the Gulf
of Mexico have placed a new importance on maintenance and reliability. A
new section; Condition Based Maintenance (CBM), introduces the subject
of maintenance, written by Tian Ran Lin, Queensland University of
Technology, and Yong Sun, CSIRO Earth Science and Resource Engineering. Two
of the main objectives of CBM is maximizing reliability while
preventing major or minor equipment malfunction and minimizing
maintenance costs. In this new section, the authors deal with the
multi-objective condition based maintenance optimization problem. CBM
provides two major advantages: (1) an efficient approach for weighting
maintenance objectives, and (2) a method for specifying physical methods
for achieving those objectives. Maintenance cost and reliability
objectives are calculated based on proportional hazards model and a
control limit CBM replacement policy. Written primarily for
engineers and management personnel working on offshore and deepwater oil
and gas pipelines, this book covers the fundamentals needed to design,
Install, and commission pipeline projects. This new section along with a
thorough update of the existing chapters represents a 30% increase in
information over the previous edition.
