The HSE KP4 - Ageing and Life Extension
initiative, was put together by the HSE
offshore safety division (OSD), the UKCS
Oil & Gas industry and other related
departments within the energy sector.
Our life extension program
begins with a comprehensive
on-site survey of your Siemens
gas turbine package to assess
its state of ageing.
This initiative emphasizes the need to
consider the age and condition of offshore
assets and manage their performance.
The survey also allows us to
identify any associated risks
and issues with the installed
equipment.
“Ageing is not about how old your
equipment is; it’s about what you
know about its condition, and how
that’s changing over time.”
UK Health & Safety Executive
Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery
Limited (SITL) are a leading supplier of
gas turbine packages to the UK North
Sea Oil & Gas industry, with packages
installed in 1973, which have now been
in offshore operation for 40 years.
Operating far in excess of their initial or
reassessed design life, some of these North
Sea packages are now classified as ageing.
This can result in reduced structural
integrity as well as rendering control
systems or electronic devices obsolete
and could therefore be detrimental to
both engine reliability and performance
with a potentially serious impact on safety.
Package P&IDs will be red
line marked up to reflect
the ‘as built status’ and the
survey document will be
completed, identifying
part numbers, tag
references and visual
condition.
The survey document will
also include a detailed
photographic record, taken
by Siemens personnel, of
the external Turbine
package components.
Siemens have developed a service
program to support you in managing
your ageing assets, which not only
complies with relevant standards,
regulations and codes of practice, but
substantially reduces risk potential.

The completed survey will then be
compiled as a ‘Vulnerability Report’,
following a comprehensive review of
the survey data and other information
gathered such as:
Site Survey
Historical site reports (summary
sheet included in pack)
Package upgrades (Product
Improvement Bulletins and Inservice-capability mods) are
available to identify areas of
improvement or risk due to old or
obsolete equipment.

Following the completion of the
report, and combined with your
individual requirements, our team of
experts will be pleased to discuss a
tailored programme of updates for
the equipment identified (including
obsolescence).
We can work together with you to
maintain the availability, reliability,
longevity and integrity of your gas
turbine package so that the
equipment continues to be fit for
service for many more years to come.
