The Offshore & Onshore Reliability Data ( OREDA ) project was founded in 1981 in cooperation with the Norwegian oil and gas authorities ( Oljedirektoratet , today Petroleumstilsynet ).
It is one of the most reliable sources of data for the oil and gas industry and is regarded as a unique source of data on failure rates, failure causes, their distribution and repair times of equipment used in the onshore and offshore industries . OREDA's initial focus was to collect objective data on the reliability of safety equipment used in the petroleum industry. The now existing organization consists of an amalgamation of various mineral oil and natural gas producers and was founded in 1983.
At the same time, OREDA's activity has expanded to include a wide range of reliability data on equipment used in the mining industry. OREDA primarily considers offshore, underwater and topside equipment, but also includes land-based conveying and transport means such as pipelines .
By collecting and analyzing data from maintenance and operation, the established database with reliability data of high quality and by exchanging technologies in the areas of reliability, maintenance and security (RAM Reliability, Availability, Maintainablility), the OREDA project aims to participate the participating companies to improve the safety and cost effectiveness in the design and operation of oil and gas extraction and production facilities. In addition, the OREDA manual is also used in other branches of industry (see also).
history
The work on the OREDA project is divided into phases, which usually last two to three years. OREDA manuals with the collected data and other completed work are published regularly.
Phase I (1983–1985)
The main activity in this phase was the collection and compilation of data from offshore drilling rigs and the publication of these in the first OREDA manual. The result represents the successful cooperation of eight petroleum companies in the area of reliability and security. Even if the diversity of the components from the first phase was great, the detailing was not as mature as in the later phases. The data from the first phase are documented in the first OREDA manual (published in 1984), but the data from this phase are not contained in the OREDA database.
Phase II (1987–1990)
In order to improve the quality of the collected data, it was limited to collecting data from production-critical components. The data has now been stored in a Windows OS database, the start of development for the tailor-made OREDA collection and analysis program. The data from this phase are published in the OREDA manual published in 1992, which also includes data from phase I.
Phase III (1990-1992)
The scope of the included components has been expanded and more information and data on maintenance have been recorded. The data quality was advanced through the introduction of the "Guidelines for Data Collection" and improved quality control. The user interface of the OREDA software was further developed and program changes enabled functions beyond pure data collection. The data from this phase are published in the OREDA manual published in 1997.
Phase IV (1993–1996)
New software for data acquisition and analysis was developed, as well as software for data import and conversion. The data collected was largely the same as in phase III, only the data collection was done to a greater extent by the participating companies themselves. In addition, data on preventive maintenance was included. The data from this phase are published in the OREDA handbook published in 2002.
Phase V (1997-2000)
New component classes were defined and added, with more focus on subsea components. The development of the new ISO standard "Petroleum and natural gas industries - Collection and exchange of reliability and maintenance data for equipment" was pushed ahead and finally in July 1999 the ISO standard 14224 was published. The data from this phase are published in the OREDA handbook published in 2002.
Phase VI (2000-2001)
The data collection for subsea components and the new component classes has been prioritized. A forum has been set up to encourage collaboration among large subsea component developers. The data from this phase are published in the OREDA manual published in 2009.
Attendees
The participating companies changed over time, partly due to name changes and associations. The following table gives an overview of the companies that collected data in phases VIII to XII and made it available to the OREDA project.

organization
The steering committee of the OREDA project consists of one member and one deputy from the member companies. The steering committee chair is elected by these members who also appoint a project leader. The project manager is also responsible for the quality assurance of the data.
DNV GL, an international classification and consulting company, led the project through phases I and II. Phases III – IX were led by SINTEF ( Norwegian Stiftelsen for industriell og teknisk forskning ), before DNV GL was in charge again from phase X to today took over. The publication of the OREDA manuals are separate projects that are carried out in cooperation with the OREDA steering committee.
The newest and already 6th edition of the OREDA manual was created by SINTEF and the NTNU ( Technical and Natural Science University of Norway ) and marketed by DNV GL.
need
Before the OREDA project began to collect reliability data, there was “no public source for such error data from offshore plants”, so risk assessments had to be based on “generic data from onshore plants and other industries”.
Data
By 1996 OREDA had collected data from 24,000 components from offshore systems and documented 33,000 errors.
The database contains data from almost 300 installations, 15,000 components and 40,000 errors and almost 75,000 maintenance data. Access to the data and the search and analysis functions of the OREDA software is reserved for OREDA project members. Companies that work with member companies can have temporary access to this data.
Database structure
The data is always recorded with the installation (origin) and owner. Each component (e.g. a gas turbine) has its own "inventory record" in the database. This includes a technical description of the component, the actual operational conditions and all associated errors. Each error is recorded as a data record with cause, date, effect and type. In addition, preventive and corrective maintenance activities are recorded.
software
The OREDA software handles data acquisition, analysis and data comparison. In addition, it enables advanced data searches, automates data exchange, and quality and reliability control. A module for subsea data also includes event logging and the ability to configure user-defined applications, and it allows company-internal data to be collected.
The latest software version, which was launched together with the 6th edition of the OREDA manual, includes an expansion of component classes, common subsea components, subsea control systems, subsea power cables and subsea tanks / containers.
meaning
The use of the OREDA database has "led to considerable savings in the development and operation of platforms" (e.g.). The example of OREDA's cross-company collaboration inspired third parties - for example, the SPARTA database (System Performance, Availability and Reliability Trend Analysis) was launched by the UK wind power industry in 2013.
