Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)
Risk-Based Inspection is a methodology that focuses on prioritizing inspection efforts based on the likelihood and consequences of asset failure.
It utilizes a systematic and qualitative, semi-quantitative, or quantitative approach to assess risks associated with assets, enabling informed decisions regarding inspection planning and resource allocation.
Petromaster follows the API 581 methodology using the API-RBI software to implement a fully quantitative approach, combining the probability and the consequence of failure to manage risk and focus inspection resources on more critical equipment.
Our RBI services are based on RAGAGEPs (recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices) and industry best practices for asset integrity management systems and comply with all applicable governing regulations and industry codes/standards.
We offer all the necessary services to design and build robust RBI programs.
Objectives of RBI Approach
The RBI approach regarding integrity management lists all aspects of risk affecting the integrity of static equipment with the following objectives:
- To reduce risk by optimizing inspection and maintenance resources (human and technical)
- To define inspection plans for shutdowns covering at least two production cycles
- To define operation windows that allow control and monitoring of degradation in real time
Petromaster RBI Methodology Focuses On
- Knowledge of the process and respective degradation mechanisms
- Identification of areas where damage is likely
- Deep analysis of risk results
- Establishing a model for the evolution of risk for the analysis period
- Risk management to prevent failures and optimize inspection intervals

Key Benefits of Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)
Enhanced Safety and Reliability
By prioritizing inspection efforts on assets with the highest risks, our RBI service helps identify potential failure modes before they occur, reducing accidents, downtime, and costly repairs.
This approach improves overall safety and reliability while protecting personnel and the environment.
Cost Optimization
RBI allows efficient allocation of inspection resources by eliminating unnecessary inspections on low-risk assets.
Focusing on critical areas significantly reduces inspection, maintenance, and repair costs.
Compliance with Regulatory Standards
Our RBI services ensure inspection and maintenance practices align with regulatory requirements and industry standards.
This minimizes risks of penalties and legal complications.
Improved Asset Performance and Lifespan
Through proactive risk assessment and targeted inspections, asset degradation and failures can be detected early.
This helps extend asset life, maximize performance, and avoid costly replacements.
