GAP ANAGAP ANALYSIS ON RISK BASED INSPECTION (RBI) IMPLEMENTATION AT PT. XYZLYSIS ON RISK BASED INSPECTION (RBI) IMPLEMENTATION AT PT. XYZ

Abstract

Risk Based Inspection (RBI) has been implemented mainly in oil and gas industry to manage the risk of aging facilities. The RBI plan has also been introduced for new facilities and become part of the design requirements, making it the right time for PT. XYZ to improve their RBI implementation to support the Facility Risk Integrity Management System. This is a semi-quantitative study on primary data collected through focus group discussion using the RBI evaluation parameters based on API 580, API 581, and field observation and secondary data from previous RBI reports, maintenance program, and inspection program. Finally, an evaluation was conducted to assess whether the RBI management strategy has been integrated to the safety and asset management; inspection, testing, and monitoring; and operation strategies. This gap analysis aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the ongoing RBI implementation at PT. XYZ in general while specifically identify the part of RBI and related Asset Integrity Management already implemented and those that still need further improvement. Results show an overall score of 328 of 470, showing a good implementation of RBI. The largest gaps identified are RBI on specific equipment (score=3.0), documented RBI management policy and strategy (score=3.8), risk target and risk acceptable level (score=4.0), and specific damage mechanism components (score=5.3).
