What is ISO 20815 - Production assurance and reliability management in petroleum industry about?

ISO 20815 is a safety standard for production assurance and reliability management in petroleum industry, enabling efficiency, performance and longevity in petroleum industry applications. ISO 20815 describes the concept of production assurance within the systems and operations associated with exploration drilling, exploitation, processing, and transport of petroleum, petrochemical, and natural gas resources. ISO 20815 covers upstream (including subsea), midstream and downstream facilities, petrochemical, and associated activities. ISO 20815 focuses on production assurance of oil and gas production, processing, and associated activities and covers the analysis of reliability and maintenance of the components. ISO 20815 includes a variety of business categories and associated systems/ equipment in the oil and gas value chain. Production assurance addresses not only hydrocarbon production but also associated activities such as drilling, pipeline installation, and subsea intervention. ISO 20815 provides processes and activities, requirements, and guidelines for systematic management, effective planning, execution, and use of product assurance and reliability technology. This is to achieve cost-effective solutions over the life cycle of an asset development project structured around the following main elements:
