3.3 Asset Integrity Key Performance Indicators
The HSE’s Key Programme 3 (KP3) inspection programme on asset integrity management ran from 2004 through
to 2007, with asset integrity defined 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 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 additional asset
integrity related key performance indicators (KPI) that would consistently demonstrate industry progress in this
area over time and complement hydrocarbon release statistics. The criteria for the KPIs were that:
• They present meaningful information that can be trended over time
• They comprise data that are readily available to all or most operators with little or no further effort to collect
and report
• They are consistently defined and applied across operators
The industry set up a voluntary asset integrity KPI scheme, with data collected since 2008. The scheme is
administered by Oil & Gas UK and collates data from operators and duty holders. The three current cross-industry
asset integrity-related KPIs are:
• KPI-1: Hydrocarbon Releases
• KPI-2: Verification Non-Compliance
• KPI-3: Safety-Critical Maintenance Backlog
