Astrimar - a Media Partner for Energy Institute Asset Management Conference

Astrimar are delighted to be invited to be a media partner for the upcoming EI Asset Management Conference to be held on the 3 - 4 October 2018 at the Marcliffe Hotel and Spa in Aberdeen

The Energy Institute are holding this prestigious event to explore the latest industry strategies, good practice, research, lessons learned and innovative thinking surrounding the wide range of issues that affect the integrity, ageing, and life extension of oil and gas assets.

Astrimar recognise the additional challenges posed by the increasing numbers of mature oil and gas assets heading towards end of life, both in terms of  current integrity management and moving forwards into possible life extension and decommissioning. Striking a balance between low cost maintenance and assuring sufficient integrity for safe decommissioning is a complex process that requires a robust understanding of condition, degradation and future loading conditions.

Ashley Hynds MEng CEng, HM Principal Inspector Process Safety, Health & Safety Executive will be speaking, alongside expert speakers from leading organisations including Saudi Aramco, ABB, Wood, Nexen Petroleum UK, Cyberhawk Innovations, TAQA and Oceaneering.
