Course Overview

As the global energy industry transitions into deeper waters and more complex offshore environments, the integrity of Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units and subsea production systems has become a central pillar of operational excellence. Ensuring the long-term structural and functional health of these assets is no longer a matter of compliance alone—it is a strategic imperative that directly impacts safety, productivity, and return on investment. Pideya Learning Academy is proud to offer the Integrity Management for FPSOs and Subsea Systems training program, designed to equip offshore professionals with the advanced knowledge and technical insight required to manage these high-value assets throughout their lifecycle.
With over 200 active FPSOs operating globally and hundreds of subsea fields deployed across key oil-producing basins, the demand for sophisticated asset integrity strategies is accelerating. According to the 2023 Rystad Energy report, integrity-related spending in offshore operations is expected to reach over $120 billion globally by 2028, representing more than 20% of total offshore OPEX. In such a capital-intensive and safety-critical industry, even minor equipment failures can lead to costly shutdowns, environmental incidents, or irreparable brand damage. This course responds to those risks by addressing every layer of integrity planning—from design consideration and inspection readiness to real-time monitoring and end-of-life decision-making.
Participants will explore a range of regulatory frameworks, reliability engineering concepts, and risk-based methodologies tailored specifically to floating assets and subsea infrastructure. The course covers mooring systems, flexible risers, umbilicals, subsea pipelines, turret swivel systems, and topside equipment—all from an integrity management standpoint. Participants will gain insights into the application of predictive analytics, digital twins, and condition-based data to inform better inspection scheduling and failure prevention.
In this five-day program, participants will also delve into industry-recognized practices for risk-based inspection (RBI), corrosion management, and anomaly reporting. They will examine lessons learned from major global case studies involving FPSO failures and subsea system challenges—strengthening their ability to identify early warning signs and formulate proactive strategies. The curriculum is designed to align with international standards such as API RP 580/581, DNV-RP-F116, and ISO 55000, ensuring a globally consistent approach to integrity assurance.
Additionally, this training delivers key learning outcomes that offer immediate value to both individuals and organizations. Participants will learn how to integrate inspection data into long-term asset performance strategies, improve coordination between offshore teams and onshore integrity managers, and reduce unnecessary maintenance interventions through smarter planning. These competencies are particularly critical in the evolving digital ecosystem of offshore oil and gas, where real-time insights and efficient intervention planning can create a competitive advantage.
Participants will benefit from structured learning modules that feature:
In-depth exposure to global integrity standards applicable to subsea systems and FPSOs
Guidance on implementing risk-based inspection and maintenance planning frameworks
Insight into failure modes, corrosion control, and anomaly detection strategies
Introduction to digital monitoring tools for real-time integrity assessment
Integrated case studies from global offshore assets to contextualize key learning points
Lifecycle-based cost optimization methods to extend asset serviceability and reduce downtime
Proven techniques to align integrity planning with business goals and regulatory requirements
By the end of this course, participants will be well-positioned to support the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of offshore operations through robust asset integrity planning. Whether managing new field developments or optimizing mature assets, this course by Pideya Learning Academy empowers engineers, managers, and technical professionals to lead with confidence and operational clarity in one of the industry’s most demanding domains.
