[ SafeEx Early Intervention Model ]

$10M–$20M in TCO Reduction Starts by Moving from Index 100 to 20

Most asset integrity programs operate with compliance cost treated as a fixed baseline.

In practice, this creates a cost structure that continues to grow across the asset lifecycle.

The Early Intervention Model shows how this baseline can be structurally reduced — enabling measurable TCO reduction through a strategic implementation approach.

Compliance at Index 100 drives a growing TCO

Across assets such as FPSOs, offshore platforms, and refineries, Ex-inspection is often managed through manual processes, fragmented systems, and reactive workflows.

This creates an operational baseline at INDEX 100 — where compliance cost is treated as fixed.

Over time, this baseline drives a continuously increasing TCO, supported by high inspection volume, extended inspection time, and elevated POB requirements.

The result is a cost structure that continues to grow across the asset lifecycle and is rarely challenged.

How compliance cost is structurally reduced

The model is based on measurable operational factors that define Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

The reduction in inspection time, inspection volume, and POB is achieved through a structured transition from INDEX 100 to 20.

This transition is delivered in phases — from digitalisation and process optimisation to advanced inspection strategies aligned with IEC standards.

Disclaimer:

These operational changes define how cost accumulates — and how it can be reduced.
