Production Availability and Efficiency

EP’s team strategically combines system analysis, performance standards, failure modes, and proactive maintenance techniques to create an optimal, cost-effective maintenance plan. With our high standards of data validation and tailor-made approach, we ensure a comprehensive, well-structured RCM strategy that suits your project's needs. Learn how our RCM studies integrate with Risk Based Inspection (RBI) and Reliability Availability and Maintainability (RAM). Discover more here.

Maximise plant maintenance efficiency with EPConsult Energies' cutting-edge Risk Based Inspection (RBI) methodology. Our systematic approach, guided by industry best practices such as API RP 580 and API RP 581, optimises asset integrity management and enables substantial cost savings through targeted resource allocation. With a focus on equipment with higher failure probabilities, RBI reduces downtime and introduces significant safety benefits.

Discover the impact of precise Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) analyses on your energy projects with EPConsult Energies. Our wealth of experience spans across diverse project types, including onshore oil and gas treatment plants, refineries, and sophisticated subsea production systems. Utilising advanced commercial software and Monte Carlo simulations, we provide critical insights into your system's performance and optimisation. We enable comprehensive project management and optimised production efficiency by carefully integrating RAM analysis with process simulation. Explore our extensive RAM study services to understand their benefits and applications for your project.

With extensive expertise in performing FTA, EP calculates the probability of hazardous scenarios from the failure rate of causal events. FTA is a versatile tool used for various purposes, like validating Safety Integrity Level (SIL), calculating system reliability and analysing the likelihood of equipment failures and human errors. It provides insights into the best system configuration, optimum redundancy, and testing intervals. We recommend performing FMECA prior to FTA for complex systems​.

EP has extensive experience conducting FMECA, a rigorous analysis method to identify, prioritise, and eliminate potential system failures. We apply a highly structured approach to our FMECA studies, ensuring a systematic capture of crucial issues. Carried out during the conceptual design phase, these studies result in design alterations, safety enhancements, and personnel training. The findings add value to various plans, operations, and future design considerations​.
