Condition-Based Maintenance network
The Condition-Based Maintenance network for the European oil and gas industry exists to establish, promote and share best practices and lessons learnt amongst its membership. It is primarily focused on the upstream oil and gas sector, and condition-based maintenance (CBM) ranging from platform topsides dynamic (eg rotating) and static applications, to seabed and downhole systems.

Facilities Engineering Association
The Facilities Engineering Association (FEA) is a new pan-industry operator network focusing on upstream oil and gas facilities technology. The network is open to all oil company operators and duty holders. The network currently comprises of eight leading North Sea operators. The FEA meets three times a year, each meeting lasting 1 day (usually hosted by a member company based in Aberdeen).

Flexible Risers
As the demand for gas export from deepwater fields is increasing, the likelihood of many more assets experiencing this phenomenon is high. Currently the problem is being handled by:
- Improving pipe integrity (bracing or removing potentially weak connections)
- Reducing the "quality"¹ factor of piping acoustic modes
- Reducing the interaction between source and resonator (using an acoustic block between the riser and associated piping)
As this phenomenon is likely to affect most offshore operators, the most appropriate way of increasing the level of understanding and developing remedial solutions was deemed to be via a Joint Industry Project.
