2 Ensuring Compliance and Integrity with Asset Performance Management Overview The role of asset integrity management has never been more crucial to the oil and gas industry. With aging assets, assets in operation beyond their designed service life, increasing complexity, and skills shortages, there are many opportunities to improve operational performance and profitability through a commitment to reliability and safety. Asset integrity management minimizes business risks associated with accidents and loss of production and maintains the asset in fit for purpose condition. Mechanical Integrity is a key part of a successful Asset Performance Management program and essential to ensuring safety and compliance. A solid Mechanical Integrity strategy accounts for asset criticality, failure modes, damage mechanisms, and other factors to evaluate risk and craft appropriate mitigation strategies. APM Integrity APM Integrity equips you to enable a closed loop mechanical integrity program across your enterprise. This inspection solution helps your operators to reduce risk, lower inspection costs, and manage regulatory compliance relative to your fixed assets. Using an integrated set of tools, APM Integrity enables you to calculate risk and the remaining useful life of assets to generate, implement, and execute optimized inspection strategies while streamlining auditability and compliance governance. The solution also facilitates compliance with various Process Safety Management (PSM) requirements such as process hazard analysis, mechanical integrity, and management of change. 2% 19% Piping Internal Piping External 9% 56% Equipment Internal 14% Equipment External Bolted Joint/ Seal Failure Figure 1.

3 Use Cases Anomaly and containment loss detection Once a Mechanical Integrity strategy is defined, it can be optimized by complementing it with sensors to obtain real-time information about the status of assets. Using BHGE s Rightrax PM installed sensors, you can accurately measure and monitor the thickness of interior wall at strategically positioned locations on pipes and other key assets. Our Rightrax PM installed sensor features a built-in temperature sensor and utilizes standard ultrasonic pulse echo techniques that are applied in a novel way. Sensors can be attached using a variety of methods and configurations on straight pipes, elbows, headers, and flat surfaces. The sensors improve PSM of plants and reduce inspector exposure to hard-to reach, potentially dangerous locations. Integrity analysis Additionally, we can offer predictive corrosion management capabilities, offered as part of our APM integrity solutions, which will give your asset integrity managers and senior leaders actionable intelligence they need to manage corrosion-related risk. The predictive corrosion management capabilities combine cloud-based software, Rightrax PM installed sensors, and services. With sensors feeding continuous data to the cloud-based software, you can see trends and predict corrosion rates that can help improve operational awareness and decision making and extend the run life of piping and other assets across your site.

4 Use Cases Integrity event forecasting With predictive corrosion management capabilities, the latest artificial intelligence technology empowers you to tackle your industry s toughest corrosion challenges. One such challenge is the ability to be prevent costly incidents within facilities and production operations. Using the wall loss prediction analytic enables you to predict interior piping wall thickness degradation using physics laws coupled with probabilistic machine learning techniques. It leverages customer data and BHGE s artificial intelligence techniques to provide greater asset intelligence, which leads to greater insights and savings and prevents incidents before they occur. Integrity advisor The BHGE Ionic Model is a comprehensive and robust simulation technology that provides critical insight into the phase behavior that leads to corrosion. Built on a foundation of thermodynamic data for amine behavior and reactivity with hydrochloric acid, the technology has been shown, in refinery practice, to provide an accurate assessment of risk, screening of options to mitigate corrosion and monitoring to provide advance warning of the onset of corrosion. By providing information about the probability, location, and severity of corrosion problems in the system, the simulator guides the refiner s decision to the most effective and economical combination of chemical treatments and changes to operating conditions to arrive at the best mitigation solution. By placing the critical Ionic Model outputs in front of the eyes of operators, engineers, and managers, the refiners gain the confidence to respond immediately to changing crude characteristics such as amine or salt loading. In the case of increasing risk, the refiner might implement a predetermined mitigation strategy to remain within the desired integrity operating window: increase the overhead temperature or start up their desalter acidification program. For the decreasing risk scenario, the refiner is able to reduce the overhead temperature and maximize the yield benefits of increased distillate production. Combining the Ionic Model capability with digital inspection technology and cloud-based data analytics raises asset reliability to a new plateau. 4

5 Why BHGE? Our APM integrity and predictive corrosion management capabilities enable you to make better maintenance and operating decisions about the monitored asset. You can feed more accurate and timely data to Risk-based Inspection programs, providing evidence regarding the efficiency of corrosion inhibitor programs, and giving insight into how operations affect asset integrity. Welcome to fewer unplanned outages, improved safety, and a better bottom line. It s truly about turning data into analytics, giving your organization the competitive edge to stay ahead of asset performance, and drive true wall to wall asset integrity. bhge.com/digital *Denotes a trademark of Baker Hughes, a GE company LLC.
