As part of the Energy Institute’s core commitment to provide industry with cost-effective, value-adding good practice, delegates will hear first-hand how the guidelines are helping to underpin the health and safety processes of global oil and gas operations.

The three guidelines published, on the avoidance of vibration induced fatigue failure in subsea systems, integrity management of corrosion under pipe supports (CUPS) and injection of corrosion inhibitors in production systems, were produced by the Energy Institute in collaboration with industry expert steering panels.

Martin Maeso MEI, Technical Director of the Energy Institute commented:

“This new guidance on managing vibration and corrosion is of global relevance to the oil and gas industry, which is why the EI is showcasing it at events in both Aberdeen and Dubai.

“Good practice guidance on maintaining ageing infrastructure is not only vital to avoid major accidents hazards but helps improve safety whilst reducing unplanned maintenance and repair costs.

“The Energy Institute continues to engage our membership and the sector to produce guidance that make a real difference to industry’s collective efforts to ensure safe and efficient offshore operations.”

The EI is a leading provider of technical publications covering health, safety, environment, fuel quality and distribution, energy engineering, corrosion management and ageing & life extension. These include good practice guidance, test methods, measurement manuals, conferences and workshops.

3. The Energy Institute (EI) is the chartered professional membership body bringing global energy expertise together. Our ambition is that energy, and its critical role in our world, is better understood, managed and valued.
   
   We’re a unique network with insight spanning the world of energy, from conventional oil and gas to the most innovative renewable and energy efficient technologies. We gather and share essential knowledge about energy, provide the skills that are helping us all use it more wisely, and develop the good practice needed to keep it safe and secure.
   
   We articulate the voice of energy experts, taking the know-how of around 20,000 members and 250 companies from 120 countries to the heart of the public debate. And we’re an independent, not-for-profit, safe space for evidence-based collaboration, an honest broker between industry, academia and policy makers.
   
   The EI is here for anyone who wants to better understand or contribute to the extraordinary energy system on which we all depend.
