API Singapore 2012 Meridium's VP of Asset Integrity Services, Scott Jones, has been invited to share his expertise on Risk Based Inspection at the API Singapore 2012 conference, taking place March 6-8 at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore. Scott will present "Risk Based Inspection - A Key Component to Generating Value from your Mechanical Integrity Program" on Wednesday, March 7 at 11:15am. The conference is divided into three topical areas (Upstream, Downstream/ICP and Global Petroleum Measurement) providing the industry's most comprehensive conference, all supported by the industry's leading trade association. In his session, Scott will highlight how global regulations require operating companies to develop and maintain processes to ensure the integrity of their assets. Despite the existence of these regulations, fixed equipment failures continue to cost operating companies billions of dollars per year. How can operating companies effectively reduce these significant financial losses, ensure regulatory compliance, and generate value from their Mechanical Integrity programs? RBI is a valuable addition to traditional time-based Mechanical Integrity programs that support these goals. This presentation describes, through actual real-world examples, how a well-defined and repeatable RBI system supports regulatory compliance and generates significant value to operating companies.
