Petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries - Production assurance and reliability management (ISO 20815:2008, Corrected version 2009-06-15)

This International Standard introduces the concept of production assurance within the systems and operations associated with exploration drilling, exploitation, processing and transport of petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas resources. This International Standard covers upstream (including subsea), midstream and downstream facilities and activities. It focuses on production assurance of oil and gas production, processing and associated activities and covers the analysis of reliability and maintenance of the components. It provides processes and activities, requirements and guidelines for systematic management, effective planning, execution and use of production assurance and reliability technology. This is to achieve costeffective solutions over the life cycle of an asset-development project structured around the following main elements: ? production-assurance management for optimum economy of the facility through all of its life-cycle phases, while also considering constraints arising from health, safety, environment, quality and human factors; ? planning, execution and implementation of reliability technology; ? application of reliability and maintenance data; ? reliability-based design and operation improvement. For standards on equipment reliability and maintenance performance in general, see the IEC 60300-3 series. This International Standard designates 12 processes, of which seven are defined as core productionassurance processes and addressed in this International Standard. The remaining five processes are denoted as interacting processes and are outside the scope of this International Standard. The interaction of the core production-assurance processes with these interacting processes, however, is within the scope of this International Standard as the information flow to and from these latter processes is required to ensure that production-assurance requirements can be fulfilled. This International Standard recommends that the listed processes and activities be initiated only if they can be considered to add value. The only requirements mandated by this International Standard are the establishment and execution of the production-assurance programme (PAP).

Industries du pétrole, de la pétrochimie et du gaz naturel - Assurance de la production et management de la fiabilité (ISO 20815:2008, Version corrigée 2009-06-15)

L'ISO 20815:2008 introduit le concept d'assurance production dans les systèmes et les opérations liés au forage, à l'exploitation, au traitement et au transport des ressources pétrolières, pétrochimiques et en gaz naturel. L'ISO 20815:2008 couvre les installations et les activités amont (y compris sous-marines), intermédiaires et aval. Elle est axée sur l'assurance production relative à la production du pétrole et du gaz, sur le traitement et les opérations associées et couvre l'analyse de la fiabilité et de la maintenance des composants.
Elle fournit des processus et des activités, des exigences et des lignes directrices pour la gestion systématique, la planification, l'exécution et l'utilisation efficaces de l'assurance production et des techniques fiabilistes. Le but en est d'obtenir des solutions rentables sur tout le cycle de vie d'un projet de développement d'une installation de production structurée autour des éléments principaux suivants: gestion de l'assurance production pour une économie optimale de l'installation durant toutes les phases de son cycle de vie, tout en tenant compte des contraintes résultant de facteurs liés à santé, à la sécurité, à l'environnement et à la qualité ainsi qu'aux facteurs humains; planification, exécution et mise en œuvre des techniques fiabilistes; application des données de fiabilité et de maintenance; et amélioration de la conception et de l'exploitation basée sur la fiabilité.
Pour les normes relatives à la fiabilité des équipements et à l'exécution de la maintenance, voir la série CEI 60300-3.
L'ISO 20815:2008 définie douze processus, dont sept sont définis comme des processus fondamentaux de l'assurance production et sont y abordés. Les cinq processus restants sont appelés processus en interaction et ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application de l'ISO 20815:2008. L'interaction des processus fondamentaux de l'assurance production avec ces processus interactifs s'inscrit toutefois dans le domaine d'application de la norme car le flux d'informations à destination et en provenance de ces derniers processus est requis pour s'assurer que les exigences de l'assurance production peuvent être remplies.
L'ISO 20815:2008 recommande de ne lancer les processus et activités qu'elle énumère que s'ils apportent de la valeur ajoutée.
Les seules exigences obligatoires stipulées par l'ISO 20815:2008 concernent l'établissement et l'exécution du programme d'assurance production (PAP).

Petrokemična industrija ter industrija za predelavo nafte in zemeljskega plina - Optimizacija proizvodnje in upravljanje zanesljivosti (ISO 20815:2008, popravljena verzija 2009-06-15)

Ta mednarodni standard vpeljuje koncept optimizacije proizvodnje znotraj sistemov in operacij, povezanih z raziskovalnim vrtanjem, izkoriščanjem, predelavo in prevozom naftnih, petrokemičnih in virov zemeljskega plina.  Ta mednarodni standard zajema naprave in aktivnosti, ki se uporabljajo pred proizvodnjo (tudi pod vodo), med proizvodnjo ter kasneje. Usmerja se na optimizacijo proizvodnje nafte in zemeljskega plina, predelavo in povezane aktivnosti ter zajema analizo zanesljivosti in vzdrževanje komponent. Podaja postopke in aktivnosti, zahteve in smernice za sistematično upravljanje, učinkovito načrtovanje, izvedbo in uporabo optimizacije proizvodnje in tehnologije za zagotavljanje zanesljivosti. S tem se dosežejo stroškovno učinkovite rešitve v življenjski dobi sredstva - razvojnega projekta, ki je zasnovan okoli naslednjih glavnih elementov: upravljanja optimizacije proizvodnje za optimalno gospodarnost objekta skozi vse faze njegove življenjske dobe ob hkratnem upoštevanju omejitev, ki izhajajo iz zdravstvenih, varnostnih, okoljskih, kakovostnih in človeških dejavnikov; tehnologije za načrtovanja, izvedbe in uresničevanja zanesljivosti; uporabe podatkov o zanesljivosti in vzdrževanju;  načrtovanja, zasnovanega na zanesljivosti in izboljševanju operacij. Za standarde o zanesljivosti opreme in splošnem delovanju vzdrževanja glej IEC 60300-3 serijo. Ta mednarodni standard opredeljuje 12 postopkov, od katerih jih je sedem definiranih kot osrednji postopki optimizacije proizvodnje ter so obravnavani v tem mednarodnem standardu. Ostalih pet postopkov je označenih kot vzajemno delujoči postopki ter so izven področja tega mednarodnega standarda. Vendar pa je vzajemno delovanje osrednjih postopkov optimizacije proizvodnje s temi vzajemno delujočimi postopki v okviru področja tega standarda, saj je pretok informacij v in iz teh slednjih postopkov potreben za zagotavljanje, da so lahko izpolnjene zahteve za optimizacijo proizvodnje. Ta mednarodni standard priporoča, da se našteti postopki in aktivnosti vpeljejo le, če se lahko šteje, da bodo dodali vrednost. Edine zahteve, ki jih nalaga ta mednarodni standard, so vzpostavitev in izvršitev programa optimizacije proizvodnje (PAP).

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 20815 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 67, Materials, equipment and offshore structures
for petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries.
This corrected version of ISO 20815:2008 incorporates the following corrections:

Introduction
The petroleum and natural gas industries involve large capital investment costs as well as operational
expenditures. The profitability of these industries is dependent upon the reliability, availability and
maintainability of the systems and components that are used. Therefore, for optimal production availability in
the oil and gas business, a standardized, integrated reliability approach is required.
The concept of production assurance, introduced in this International Standard, enables a common
understanding with respect to use of reliability technology in the various life-cycle phases and covers the
activities implemented to achieve and maintain a performance level that is at its optimum in terms of the
overall economy and, at the same time, consistent with applicable regulatory and framework conditions.
Annexes A through I are for information only.

Petroleum, petrochemical and natural gas industries —
Production assurance and reliability management
1 Scope
This International Standard introduces the concept of production assurance within the systems and operations
associated with exploration drilling, exploitation, processing and transport of petroleum, petrochemical and
natural gas resources. This International Standard covers upstream (including subsea), midstream and
downstream facilities and activities. It focuses on production assurance of oil and gas production, processing
and associated activities and covers the analysis of reliability and maintenance of the components.
It provides processes and activities, requirements and guidelines for systematic management, effective
planning, execution and use of production assurance and reliability technology. This is to achieve cost-
effective solutions over the life cycle of an asset-development project structured around the following main
elements:
⎯ production-assurance management for optimum economy of the facility through all of its life-cycle phases,
while also considering constraints arising from health, safety, environment, quality and human factors;
⎯ planning, execution and implementation of reliability technology;
⎯ application of reliability and maintenance data;
⎯ reliability-based design and operation improvement.
For standards on equipment reliability and maintenance performance in general, see the IEC 60300-3 series.
This International Standard designates 12 processes, of which seven are defined as core production-
assurance processes and addressed in this International Standard. The remaining five processes are denoted
as interacting processes and are outside the scope of this International Standard. The interaction of the core
production-assurance processes with these interacting processes, however, is within the scope of this
International Standard as the information flow to and from these latter processes is required to ensure that
production-assurance requirements can be fulfilled.
This International Standard recommends that the listed processes and activities be initiated only if they can be
considered to add value.
The only requirements mandated by this International Standard are the establishment and execution of the
production-assurance programme (PAP).

3 Terms, definitions and abbreviated terms
3.1 Terms and definitions
For the purpose of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1.1
availability
ability of an item to be in a state to perform a required function under given conditions at a given instant of
time, or in average over a given time interval, assuming that the required external resources are provided
See Figure G.1 for further information.
3.1.2
common cause failure
failures of different items resulting from the same direct cause, occurring within a relatively short time, where
these failures are not consequences of each other
3.1.3
corrective maintenance
maintenance that is carried out after a fault recognition and intended to put an item into a state in which it can
perform a required function
[2]
See IEC 60050-191:1990, Figure 191-10 , for more specific information.
3.1.4
deliverability
ratio of deliveries to planned deliveries over a specified period of time, when the effect of compensating
elements, such as substitution from other producers and downstream buffer storage, is included
See Figure G.1 for further information.
3.1.5
design life
planned usage time for the total system
NOTE Design life should not be confused with MTTF (3.1.25), which is comprised of several items that may be
allowed to fail within the design life of the system as long as repair or replacement is feasible.
3.1.6
down state
internal disabled state of an item characterized either by a fault or by a possible inability to perform a required
[2]
function during preventive maintenance
NOTE This state is related to availability performance.
3.1.7
downtime
[2]
time interval during which an item is in a non-working state
NOTE The downtime includes all the delays between the item failure and the restoration of its service. Downtime can
be either planned or unplanned.
3.1.8
downstream
business process, most commonly in the petroleum industry, associated with post-production activities
EXAMPLES Refining, transportation and marketing of petroleum products.

SIST EN ISO 20815:2010
ISO 20815:2008(E)
3.1.9
failure
termination of the ability of an item to perform a required function
NOTE 1 After failure, the item has a fault.
NOTE 2 “Failure” is an event, as distinguished from “fault”, which is a state.
3.1.10
failure cause
root cause
[2]
circumstances during design, manufacture or use that have led to a failure
NOTE Generic failure cause codes applicable for equipment failures are defined in ISO 14224:2006, B.2.3.
3.1.11
failure data
data characterizing the occurrence of a failure event
3.1.12
failure mode
effect by which a failure is observed on the failed item
NOTE Failure-mode codes are defined for some equipment classes in ISO 14224:2006, B.2.6.
3.1.13
failure rate
limit, if this exists, of the ratio of the conditional probability that the instant of time, T, of a failure of an item falls
within a given time interval, [t, (t + ∆t)] and the length of this interval, ∆t, when ∆t tends to zero, given that the
item is in an up state at the beginning of the time interval
See ISO 14224:2006, Clause C.3 for further explanation of the failure rate.
NOTE 1 In this definition, t may also denote the time to failure or the time to first failure.
NOTE 2 A practical interpretation of failure rate is the number of failures relative to the corresponding operational time.
In some cases, time can be replaced by units of use. In most cases, the reciprocal of MTTF (3.1.25) can be used as the
predictor for the failure rate, i.e. the average number of failures per unit of time in the long run if the units are replaced by
an identical unit at failure.
NOTE 3 The failure rate can be based on operational time or calendar time.
3.1.14
fault
state of an item characterized by inability to perform a required function, excluding the inability during
[2]
preventive maintenance or other planned actions, or due to lack of external resources
NOTE A fault is often a result of a failure of the item itself but the state can exist without a failure.
3.1.15
fault tolerance
attribute of an item that makes it able to perform a required function in the presence of certain given sub-item
[2]
faults
3.1.16
item
any part, component, device, subsystem, functional unit, equipment or system that can be individually
[2]
considered

NOTE Requirements are normally quantitative but may also be qualitative.
3.1.34
petrochemicals
business category producing the chemicals derived from petroleum and used as feedstock for the
manufacture of a variety of plastics and other related products
EXAMPLES Methanol, polypropylene.
3.1.35
preventive maintenance
maintenance carried out at predetermined intervals or according to prescribed criteria and intended to reduce
[2]
the probability of failure or the degradation of the functioning of an item
3.1.36
production-performance analysis
systematic evaluations and calculations carried out to assess the production performance of a system
NOTE The term should be used primarily for analysis of total systems, but may also be used for analysis of
production unavailability of a partial system.

3.1.37
production assurance
activities implemented to achieve and maintain a performance that is at its optimum in terms of the overall
economy and at the same time consistent with applicable framework conditions
3.1.38
production availability
ratio of production to planned production, or any other reference level, over a specified period of time
NOTE This measure is used in connection with analysis of delimited systems without compensating elements such
as substitution from other producers and downstream buffer storage. Battery limits need to be defined in each case.
See Figure G.1 for further information.
3.1.39
production performance
capacity of a system to meet demand for deliveries or performance
NOTE 1 Production availability, deliverability or other appropriate measures can be used to express production
performance.
NOTE 2 The use of production-performance terms should specify whether it represents a predicted or historic
production performance.
3.1.40
redundancy
[2]
existence of more than one means for performing a required function
3.1.41
reliability
[2]
ability of an item to perform a required function under given conditions for a given time interval
NOTE 1 The term “reliability” is also used as a measure of reliability performance and may also be expressed as a
probability.
NOTE 2 See Figure G.1 for further information.
3.1.42
reliability data
data for reliability, maintainability and maintenance support performance
NOTE Reliability and maintainability (RM) data is the term applied by ISO 14224:2006.
3.1.43
required function
[2]
function, or combination of functions, of an item that is considered necessary to provide a given service
3.1.44
risk
[20]
combination of the probability of an event and the consequences of the event
3.1.45
risk register
tool to log, follow up and close out relevant risks
NOTE Each entry in the risk register should typically include
⎯ description of the risk,
⎯ description of the action(s),

3.1.46
survival probability
R(t)
likelihood of the continued functioning of an item, as given by Equation (1):
RtT=>Pr t (1)
() ( )
where Pr is the probability that T, the time to failure of an item, is greater than t, a time equal to or greater
than 0
3.1.47
up state
state of an item characterized by the fact it can perform a required function, assuming that the external
[2]
resources, if required, are provided
NOTE This relates to availability performance.
3.1.48
upstream
business category of the petroleum industry involving exploration and production
EXAMPLES Offshore oil/gas production facility, drilling rig, intervention vessel.
3.1.49
uptime
[2]
time interval during which an item is in the up state
3.1.50
variability
variations in performance measures for different time periods under defined framework conditions
NOTE The variations can be a result of the downtime pattern for equipment and systems or operating factors, such
as wind, waves and access to certain repair resources.
