1. OREDA JIP IN FEW POINTS
www.oreda.com

 JIP established in 1983.

 Main objective: Build and maintain a high quality reliability database on offshore,
onshore and subsea equipment used in oil and gas E&P.

 All data collection activities fully in line with ISO 14224.

Note: The first version of this International Standard has been issued more or less
starting from the OREDA Data Collection guidelines.

 Current members: Eni, BP, Petrobras, Gassco, Engie, Statoil, Shell and Total.

 Current Project Manager: DNV GL.

 Equipment population in the OREDA computerized database = About 18,000 topside

units (Offshore and Onshore) and about 2,500 subsea units.

 2 steering committee meetings per year.

 3 Work Groups (WG): Subsea, Method and Downstream (2 meetings/WG/year).

2. TOTAL’S DIFFICULTIES WITH REGARD TO OREDA IN 2014

Context in 2014:

Total’s commitment to OREDA for the Data Collection Phase 12 period (i.e. from
2015 to 2017):
 Provide our own data set for Phase 12;
 Reimburse Statoil in terms of reliability data for Phase 12 - Statoil provided a data set
for us for Phase XI (agreement Total - Statoil - OREDA JIP).

If one of these objectives is not met, Total will have to leave the JIP and will have no
more access to both Phase 11 and Phase 12 data.

Objective defined by Total’s managers:

Develop and implement within 2 years an internal data collection process in order
to build a data set equivalent to a minimum of 6 years of commitment in terms of
data delivery to OREDA that would allow Total to stay in the JIP.

2. TOTAL’S DIFFICULTIES WITH REGARD TO OREDA IN 2014

Why staying in the OREDA JIP?

 OREDA = Main reliability data source for SIL/HIPS studies and Production Availability
Studies (PAS): large equipment population, database built with experts of other
Majors, diversity, work started more than 30 years ago, database fully in line with the
international standard ISO 14224, etc.
 Access to the computerized database.
 Possibility of using the OREDA Data collection and Data analysis software to manage
our own reliability database.
 Benchmarking between our reliability data and the entire database.
 Multiple exchanges with reliability experts of other major petroleum Companies
(reporting, data management strategy, Reliability/Production availability studies...).
 Other users in Total:
• Maintenance teams to...
 “Get the failure rate, reliability, unavailability, etc. of certain type of eq. (for reference purpose);
 Comparison between equipment design and model => Consideration for equipment selection;
 To know the type of failure => Decide emphasize of improvement.”
• HSE for Risk analyses;
• Subsea engineers for comparisons between failure frequencies...;
• HSE and Maintenance teams in our subsidiaries.

3. SELECTED SRATEGY

Main principles:

 Focus our efforts on a small number of equipment types in order to limit the number of
interlocutors.

 Select equipment types considered as “high value-added” by the JIP according to the
value model defined at the beginning of each data collection phase.

 Use as far as possible existing reporting tools.

 Work with subsidiaries that are best in class in terms of maintenance operations,
monitoring and reporting.

 Clearly identify all the stakeholders and request them to commit to a roadmap
previously approved by our managers.

4. CONCLUSIONS AND PERSPECTIVES

 Size of the data set collected equivalent to 12 years of commitment in terms of data
delivery to OREDA.

 ISO 14224 requirements regarding inventory data are difficult to fulfil, especially for
subsea equipment for which there are many parameters to collect.

 ISO 14224 requirements regarding failure events are also quite difficult to fulfil as an
analysis is necessary for each event, even for incipient and degraded failures.

 The strategy “Excel templates + Conversion via VBA” is suitable/efficient for a small
number of equipment types but not for a long term solution that would have to focus
on all equipment types.

 This data collection performed in Total E&P over the last 2 years is a 1st step of a long
term solution for the continuous development of an internal reliability database.
