Increased performance

The HSE KP4 - Ageing and Life Extension initiative, was put together by the HSE offshore safety division (OSD), the UKCS Oil & Gas industry and other related departments within the energy sector.

This initiative emphasizes the need to consider the age and condition of offshore assets and manage their performance.

“Ageing is not about how old your equipment is; it’s about what you know about its condition, and how that’s changing over time.”

UK Health & Safety Executive

Operating far in excess of their initial or reassessed design life, some of these North Sea packages are now classified as ageing.

This can result in reduced structural integrity as well as rendering control systems or electronic devices obsolete and could therefore be detrimental to both engine reliability and performance with a potentially serious impact on safety.

Siemens have developed a service program to support you in managing your ageing assets, which not only complies with relevant standards, regulations and codes of practice, but substantially reduces risk potential.

Our life extension program begins with a comprehensive on-site survey of your Siemens gas turbine package to assess its state of ageing.

The survey also allows us to identify any associated risks and issues with the installed equipment.

Package P&IDs will be red line marked up to reflect the ‘as built status’ and the survey document will be completed, identifying part numbers, tag references and visual condition.

The survey document will also include a detailed photographic record, taken by Siemens personnel, of the external Turbine package components.

The completed survey will then be compiled as a ‘Vulnerability Report’, following a comprehensive review of the survey data and other information gathered such as:

Current spare part stockholdings

Historical site reports (summary sheet included in pack)

Package upgrades (Product Improvement Bulletins and In-service-capability mods) are available to identify areas of improvement or risk due to old or obsolete equipment.

Other significant observations made during the survey.

Vulnerability Report Recommendations

Following the completion of the report, and combined with your individual requirements, our team of experts will be pleased to discuss a tailored programme of updates for the equipment identified (including obsolescence).

We can work together with you to maintain the availability, reliability, longevity and integrity of your gas turbine package so that the equipment continues to be fit for service for many more years to come.
