Title: Applying Fault Tree Analysis to Control Shutdown Events: A Case Study of a Pipeline Pumping System Presentation Type: TECHNICAL SESSION Sub-Theme: RISK & RELIABILITY Abstract: Operational shutdown events in pipeline operations are critical due to the need for the distribution and delivery of products. Using representative failures from a Transpetro terminal, the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) methodology was employed as a robust analytical tool to mitigate anomalies, avoid interruptions and pumping deficiencies, thereby increasing operational efficiency. A pumping system responsible for the transfer and distribution of petroleum derivatives from a refinery was used as a case study. Through a previous Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM) study, FTA was applied to demonstrate its applicability in identifying failure modes and root causes, indicating their relationships through a logic diagram. Subsequently, preventive recommendations were implemented to mitigate failures, review maintenance strategies, and preserve system functionality. Therefore, a correlation between the two methodologies was established, allowing effective tasks to be performed to control anomalies and reduce downtime and emergency repairs. #RioPipeline2025 #Transpetro #VamosAondeOBrasilPrecisar #FTA #RCM #OperationalExcellence #OilAndGas

🔍 Term of the Week: Decline Curve Analysis (DCA) Why it matters: DCA is essential for field development planning, estimating reserves, and making investment decisions. It helps operators understand how quickly production will fall off and guides strategies to maximize recovery. 💬 Do you prefer traditional Arps models or newer type-curve approaches when forecasting decline?

🔹𝙀𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙥𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝘾𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝘼𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙨 (𝙀𝘾𝘼) 𝙞𝙣 𝙊𝙞𝙡 & 𝙂𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨🔹 In today’s oil & gas operations, one failure can mean more than downtime—it can mean safety risks, production losses, and significant cost impact. That’s why Equipment Criticality Analysis (ECA) is not just a tool, it’s the foundation for building smarter, risk-based maintenance strategies. This comprehensive paper explores how to identify and prioritize Critical Equipment (CE) and Safety-Critical Equipment (SCE) using both traditional and advanced methodologies. ⏺️ Highlights inside the study: ▪️Logic Tree & Risk Assessment Simple yet effective tools to quickly screen equipment criticality. ▪️HAZOP & LOPA Structured approaches to uncover hidden risks in complex oil & gas processes. ▪️Fuzzy Logic & Bayesian Networks Advanced techniques that tackle uncertainty and provide deeper insights into failure probability and consequences. ▪️Risk Priority Number (RPN) & NORSOK Z-008 frameworks Proven standards for aligning maintenance planning with business-critical outcomes. ▪️Developing Maintenance Tasks How ECA feeds into RBI (Risk-Based Inspection) and RCM (Reliability-Centered Maintenance) to ensure safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness .

One equipment failure in Oil & Gas is never just downtime. It can mean safety risks, production loss, and big costs. That’s why Equipment Criticality Analysis (ECA) is a game-changer, helping us focus maintenance where it truly matters. Highlights from recent research: ✅ Logic Tree & Risk Assessment → quick screening ✅ HAZOP & LOPA → structured hazard analysis ✅ Fuzzy Logic & Bayesian → advanced tools to handle uncertainty ✅ RPN & NORSOK Z-008 → proven industry frameworks How it links to maintenance: RBI for containment risks RCM for multi-failure mode equipment Fuzzy/Bayesian methods for deeper insights Takeaway: A structured ECA doesn’t just rank equipment, it helps prevent failures, optimize resources, and build safer, more reliable operations. #OilAndGas #Maintenance #Reliability #AssetIntegrity #SCE #ECA #RCM #RBI

🚨 Corrosion Risk ≠ Simple Chemistry In oil & gas, inhibitor performance is shaped by dynamic & uncertain conditions: #Reservoir behavior #Well stimulation & completion #Workover & intervention 📌 The Challenge: Static assumptions miss these variables, creating hidden risks for Process Safety & Asset Integrity. ⚡ The Solution: Advanced Modelling 🔄 Bayesian Analysis → Updates risk probabilities as new field data emerges. 🎲 Monte Carlo Simulation → Runs thousands of “what-if” scenarios to map out inhibitor effectiveness under uncertainty. ✅ Value Delivered Smarter inhibitor dosage strategies Optimized inspection/monitoring schedules Robust assurance in Risk Management & Integrity 💡 Takeaway: From reactive monitoring → to predictive corrosion risk modelling. Protecting people, environment, and assets in the hardest-to-abate sector. #RiskManagement #ProcessSafety #AssetIntegrity #CorrosionManagement #BayesianAnalysis #MonteCarloSimulation #OilAndGas The infographic visually summarizes: The Challenge (dynamic reservoir, stimulation, workover uncertainties) The Solution (Bayesian + Monte Carlo) Value Delivered (dosage, monitoring, assurance) Takeaway (shift from reactive → predictive)

Advancing Production Testing in Gas-Lifted Wells! Production testing of gas-lifted wells using inline multiphase meters (MPFMs) comes with a unique challenge: the accuracy of these meters depends heavily on PVT properties of the produced fluids. Traditionally, this is handled through black oil tables, but when gas lift is introduced, those PVT properties shift in proportion to the gas lift rate. At ScanWell, we’ve developed a workflow to address this challenge during field surveys by combining: ✅ Our proprietary nitrogen dilution method for online gas lift rate and produced gas rate quantification ✅ Online compositional analysis of both gas lift and produced fluids ✅ Dynamic PVT characterization and MPFM calibration This approach enables accurate multiphase rate quantification without the need for portable test separators. The benefits are clear: Reliable MPFM calibration and verification Reduced environmental and operational footprint Improved production allocation with minimal resources Contact us to learn more about how ScanWell can support your gas-lifted well operations.
