Use of Capability Maturity Modelling to Ensure Ageing and Life Extension are Adequately Considered in Structural Integrity Management Available to Purchase

An increasing number of offshore installations are in the life extension stage of life, with ageing processes needing to be taken into account. This is particularly important for structural integrity. Capability Maturity Modelling enables the levels of maturity in processes associated with the management of ageing to be identified and improved if required. The paper describes the model and how it has been used for assessing the management of structural integrity for installations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
