asset INTEGRITY solutions

At LR we understand the impact that asset integrity and maintenance can have on production, safety and ultimately your bottom line. A robust approach to integrity and maintenance is key to safely improving reliability, maintaining production, reducing cost and increasing profitability.

Equipment failures cost the U.S. refining industry over $4 billion per year alone. In the upstream sector, best-in-class operators deliver up to 30 per cent more value from producing assets, with facility reliability at 95-98 per cent.

Our asset integrity and maintenance optimisation solutions and associated software help you to cost effectively manage and improve the integrity, risk, performance and reliability of your equipment and assets.

We apply advanced risk-based techniques to help you determine the probability and consequences of equipment failure, prioritise activities and optimise inspection and maintenance schedules. By concentrating on what needs to be inspected and maintained, and eliminating activities that do not fulfil safety, production requirements or profit objectives, we help you realise efficiencies, reduce costs and enhance production.

Regardless of industry, we have you covered; we’re uniquely placed to deliver across all asset types. Our extensive track record covers upstream, midstream and downstream oil and gas operations from the integrity of wells, fixed and floating structures, floating production storage and offloading vessels (FPSOs), subsea and above ground pipelines to land rigs and refineries as well as chemical, petrochemical, renewables and power generation.
