System Reliability Assessment: Oil and
Gas Perspective
A formal reliability assessment
for the oil and gas industry is gaining popularity, especially
during the design stage. It provides engineers with opportunities
to improve reliability during the design and allows them to
justify any improvements in terms of the bottom line. However, being a
relatively new technique in this industry, there are some
misconceptions on its application that need to be clarified before
anyone embarks on this type of assessment. Case studies will be
presented to illustrate some of the key points.
