Case study (anonymised)

Avoiding Unnecessary Offshore Rectification

Rectification decisions used design allowables that didn't account for 'as built' conditions or operational data. Uncertainty around anomaly interaction and environmental exposure led to risk-averse, potentially unnecessary interventions.

  • Evidence packs designed for review forums
  • Assumptions and thresholds recorded
  • Outputs versioned for handover

Challenge

Rectification decisions used design allowables that didn't account for 'as built' conditions or operational data. Uncertainty around anomaly interaction and environmental exposure led to risk-averse, potentially unnecessary interventions.

Common failure mode

Decisions get made on screenshots and ad-hoc spreadsheets, with limited traceability back to source.

What “good” looks like

A pack you can rerun: inputs, checks, assumptions, change log, and publishable outputs.

Inputs and context

Representative sources used during delivery.

Offshore pipeline with known integrity findingsPlanned rectification based on design allowable conditions

Approach

Typical delivery steps, designed to be repeatable and reviewable.

  1. 01Internal inspection features correlated with seabed interaction, spans, and material properties

  2. 02ROV video and survey data synchronized to KP for contextual validation

  3. 03Integrity assessments rerun using consistent assumptions and thresholds

Outcomes

Observable outcomes, without over-claiming.

  • Multi-million cost avoidance by eliminating unnecessary rectification

  • Reduced offshore vessel days and operational disruption

  • Improved confidence in rectification prioritization

Next step

Bring one asset, one decision, and one delivery deadline. We’ll show what an evidence pack looks like.
