Asset Integrity Management System Audits for the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago

In 2015 and 2017, Asset Integrity Management (AIM) System Audits were performed of a natural gas transmission and distribution company. The AIM systems were evaluated as part of a National Facilities Audit (NFA) for the Trinidad and Tobago T&T) Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries (MEEI) and for the company directly. To allow comparison of the company-sponsored audit with the NFA performed for the MEEI, the audit protocol and methodology used the same scoring system and benchmarking in both cases. This paper presents the results, divided as Notable Mentions and Opportunities for Improvement for the company. The findings are discussed in the context of the national oil & gas industry in Trinidad and Tobago, and the long-term vision and efforts of the company to improve its AIM performance.
