Aries provides various services related to asset integrity and assets life extension. The engineering assessment for asset life extension normally have to consider various factors including wear and tear, degradation, fatigue damage, changes in environment, changes in operational aspects, corrosion protection, changes in design basis, possible strengthening options, development of periodic inspection philosophy etc. Various analyses including Global strength analysis, Fatigue Analysis, Pushover analysis etc. are undertaken as part of such asset Life Extension studies. Whenever requirement arises, various other services like 3d scanning and intelligent engineering solutions offered by Aries are used in asset Life extension studies.
Aries Energy's life extension assessments account for wear and tear, degradation, fatigue damage, changes in the operating environment, changes in operational aspects, corrosion protection, and changes in the original design basis. The assessment also looks at possible strengthening options and the development of a periodic inspection philosophy, so the extension decision reflects the asset's actual current condition rather than only its original design.
A-SAMS is Aries Energy's program for confirming that an offshore structure remains fit for operation over an extended lifetime. Unlike standard industry practice, it gives credit to actual structural utilization and global stress levels when making renewal recommendations, rather than relying only on original design assumptions, which can support a more accurate life extension case for an aging asset.
Offshore asset life extension studies at Aries Energy typically include global strength analysis, fatigue analysis, and pushover analysis. These are supplemented where needed by 3D scanning and other intelligent engineering solutions, giving a combined view of the structure's remaining strength, fatigue life, and ultimate capacity before a renewal or extension decision is made.
Yes. A-SAMS includes class rule requirement studies as part of the structural re-appraisal, alongside gauging, 3D scanning, and finite element analysis. This lets Aries Energy confirm whether an aging structure still meets current class requirements, not just the rules that applied when it was originally designed.
