In order to improve asset integrity, the GASCO plants have generated a “register of threats” (i.e. those events that could release a hazard and have an HSE impact) and have assessed each threat on a Risk Assessment Matrix. Remedial action plans have been developed to addresss the issues raised. HAZOP studies are also underway to identify the process risks and reduce them to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP).
In 2004, GASCO has developed and published a Asset Integrity Policy and further work for implementing it through an Asset Integrity Management System (AIMS) is underway.
