4.3 Asset Integrity Key Performance Indicators

Since 2000, the HSE has specifically focused on reducing HCRs (Key Programme 1). This was followed by a wider

focus on asset integrity (Key Programme 3).

The HSE’s Key Programme 3 (KP3) inspection programme on asset integrity management ran from 2004 through to

2007. It defined asset integrity as “the ability of an asset to perform its required function effectively and efficiently

while protecting health, safety and the environment”. Asset integrity management was defined as “the means

for ensuring that the people, systems, processes and resources that deliver integrity are in place, in use and will

perform on demand over the whole life cycle of the asset”.

One of the many responses from the UK offshore oil and gas industry to KP3 was to develop and implement asset

integrity related leading key performance indicators (KPIs) that would consistently demonstrate industry progress

over time, complementing the HCR statistics described in section 4.1.3.

In 2009, the industry set up an asset integrity KPI scheme with the data provided by Oil & Gas UK member

companies on a voluntary basis at the end of every quarter. KPI-1 looks at HCRs as covered in section 4.1.3, while

KPI 2 and 3 are discussed in the sections opposite.
