Timely delivery of the required spare parts plays an important role in meeting the availability target and reducing the downtime of production facilities. Spare parts logistics is affected in complex ways while operating in the Arctic, since the area is sparsely populated and has insufficient infrastructure. It is also greatly affected by the distinctive operational environment of the region, such...
As the concerns about the potential environmental impacts of the drilling wastes heighten in the Arctic, regulatory authorities have tightened the environmental controls. Hence, forecasts of environmental and health risks, associated with the drilling wastes, can provide the vital information needed for the sustainable resource development decisions. The aim of this paper is to foster an integrated...
One of the major challenges in reliability assessment of Arctic oil and gas facilities is lack of adequate life data. In order to use the available life data obtained in normal climate regions, some modifications are required to include the adverse effects of Arctic operating conditions on equipment reliability performance. In this study, a methodology, based on expert judgement concept, is presented...
The technological advances, new concepts and the ranges of possible waste management solutions in the Arctic drilling pose their own peculiar demands and affects the waste management decision making process. Thus, it is become imperative to evaluate the assessment methods for their effectiveness, to support strategic decision. The aim of this paper is to propose steps for evaluating the available...
The Arctic region has a harsh and sensitive environment at a remote location where special local considerations will influence the design, operation and management of any waste handling system installed in the region. In order to develop a suitable waste handling system in the High North, the main technological and operational challenges need to be identified and tackled. In this paper a methodology...
Spare parts provision is a complex problem and requires an accurate model to analysis all factors that may affect the required number of spare parts. The number of spare parts required can be effectively estimated based on the reliability performance of the item. The reliability characteristics of an item are influenced not only by the operating time, but also by factors such as the operational environment...
The development of offshore energy resources involves highly complex and extensive technological processes. Therefore all relevant factors which can affect equipment performance and safety must be identified and quantified exactly. This is more critical when the design is going to be established for a new operational environment such as the Arctic region with new challenges. There are a few data and...
Historically, most of the maintenance tasks in rolling stock companies are devoted to preventive maintenance which leads to some problems such as erroneous maintenance work, unnecessary maintenance tasks, etc. Therefore, it is essential to develop effective maintenance strategies to deal with these problems. While the safety is a significant factor in rolling stock industries, the most well known...
