Advanced Strategies & Technologies to Optimize O&G Production
2023 Edition Hosted By
The oil, gas and petrochemical sector heavily rely on capital investments, making it crucial to maintain optimal performance levels to ensure profitability. With this context, asset integrity and process safety are closely intertwined and hold significant importance as they proactively anticipate and prevent incidents, while recommending appropriate action plans for optimal performance. Ensuring the safe and smooth operation of oil, gas and petrochemical facilities and installations, ranging from oil fields and offshore platforms to pipelines and refineries, is of paramount importance.
The Asset Integrity and Process Safety Conference & Exhibition serves as a prominent platform in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, bringing together leading experts and stakeholders to discuss industry trends, challenges, and the latest solutions in key areas such as corrosion control, predictive and preventive maintenance, hazard and operability study (HAZOP), risk-based inspection (RBI), and digital transformation for process safety and asset integrity.
The recent edition of the conference Hosted By the Royal Commission for Jubail & Yanbu was held at the King Abdullah Cultural Center, Jubail – Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, witnessed the participation of 37 speakers and over 524 industry professionals from the region. The exhibition floor provided a vital networking space where industry experts could connect, explore, and acquire the latest solutions aimed at enhancing asset integrity and process safety for their oil, gas and petrochemical operations.
On behalf of the Asset Integrity and Process Safety Conference and Exhibition 2023 organizing committee, we welcome you in Jubail Industrial City.
As petrochemical assets age, they require special attention to maintain their mechanical integrity. This could be achieved by applying industry tried and tested solutions as well as by abiding with international codes and standards. The theme for AIPS 2023 is “Advanced strategies and technologies to optimize production”. It is intended to address chronic issues related to asset integrity and process safety and its associated challenges to improve asset reliability and prevent unplanned shutdowns.
The conference is designed to bring all practical experience in all aspects of asset integrity and process safety under one roof to create and facilitate discussion forums. The forums will cover issues that have become major threat on the integrity and operation of plant equipment in metallic and nonmetallic assets. A key drive for this conference is updating industrial technical knowledge among local professionals, industrial experts, scientists and academia, to ensure the delivery of state-of-art technologies, best practices and services through the conference eminent keynote speakers, well-versed technical sessions and Exhibition.
APIS 2023 organizing committee is working hard to make ideal platform for knowledge exchange, learning and networking. We look forward to welcoming you in Jubail Industrial City, the biggest industrial city in the world.
With my sincerest best wishes and warmest regards,

WORKSHOP 1 | ASSET INTEGRITY 4.0 ELEMENTS
TIME: 09:00 AM
Overview:
Asset integrity 4.0 brings together all the elements required to ensure that the assets will provide maximum production capacity at the lowest operational costs, in a safe environment. It absolutely requires that PEOPLE, PROCESS and DATA be at the forefront of the business transformation initiative. It encompasses an asset performance program with a rigorous planned maintenance work execution process to ensure that the work required to prevent asset failures is always done on-time. Both must be supported by 4.0 DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY specifically designed to manage each of them efficiently.
Learning Objectives:
- Importance of asset integrity elements and their dependency
- An asset performance program must include an IPSPEC planned work execution process to provide the expected benefits
- Digital technologies must be specifically designed to support the People roles and the Process that will provide the value
- A rigorous multi-week scheduling process provides the highest and quickest ROI
Workshop Leader:
 | Mr. Jean Charbonneau has over 30 years of experience as a reliability engineer and consultant in asset integrity 4.0. He is a worldwide renowned speaker and an industry leading influencer on the best strategies for asset intensive organizations to transition to a planned work culture and achieve maintenance excellence. |
WORKSHOP 2: FRP PIPING SYSTEMS – HOW TO ENSURE FITNESS FOR SERVICE
TIME: 10:00 AM
Overview:
Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) are being used extensively in the oil & gas and water industry as they provide numerous advantages over metallic materials, such as being corrosion free and a high strength to weight ratio. FRP piping systems can be designed for service lives reaching up to 50 years. Key aspects to the success of an FRP piping system include, correct resin selection, design, manufacturing, installation and maintenance. Lapses or gaps in any of these aspects can greatly affect the integrity and service life of the system.
Learning Objectives:
- Resin selection based on service conditions
- Design flow for an FRP piping system
- The importance of shop and site QA/QC
- Inspection methods
Workshop Leader:
 | Mr. Andy van Esch, Vice President Engineering of ENOIA Dynaflow, has over 30 years of experience as a consultant in the field of design, engineering and inspection of FRP piping systems. He has worked on some of the world’s largest FRP systems and has advised end users worldwide and in particular in the GCC on design and integrity matters and assisted in trouble shooting and failure analyses. |
