Astrimar is a leading independent reliability engineering consultancy. We specialise in analysis and assurance, verification and training in technical risk, reliability, technology qualification and integrity management, in subsea oil and gas and wider energy industries.

As leaders in reliability and technology qualification, we have developed industry guidance for API and OGTC. We support operators and technology developers implementing efficient and effective technology qualification best practice including support towards certification when required.

We have also developed and successfully deployed state-of-the-art data-driven predictive analysis tools for risk-based integrity management and life extension (pRIOriti-AIM), and risk-based well P&A design and analysis (STEM-flow). These tools are able to assess probability of failure based on current condition determined from inspection, monitoring and test data. More importantly they are able to predict future probability of failure over time, accounting for the relevant degradation mechanisms and rates.
