This work commenced in 2005 and spanned over the ten years as we develop and matured the integrity management systems and processes to handle the challenges of deepwater developments in the Gulf of Mexico. A risk-based IM programme was implemented for all in water systems including risers, flowlines, moorings, the in-water hull section, trees, jumpers, manifolds, sleds and umbilicals. The scope of work covered a wide range of riser systems, hull forms and subsea seabed equipment architectures. 

From the start of the contract, it was clear that visual inspection could not capture all the threats identified in the risk assessments, so considerable effort was placed on analysing data already being measured in the field as part of normal operations and turning these into key performance indicators for the integrity program.
