ASSET INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY FOR UNDERGROUND STORAGE
First Claim
1. A method for managing the integrity of an underground storage asset, comprising:
- determining relationships between elements of an underground storage asset to establish a paradigm for maintaining asset integrity;
obtaining data related to a life cycle element of an underground storage asset;
implementing a procedure element to govern management of the integrity of the underground storage asset;
utilizing a technology element to obtain and evaluate the data related to managing the integrity of the underground storage asset over time; and
processing the data according to a control clement to determine appropriate control measures for maintaining the integrity of the underground storage asset.

Abstract
A technique facilitates asset integrity management of underground storage assets, such as underground carbon dioxide storage sites. The technique comprises establishing a paradigm for asset integrity management comprising element fields related to elements such as asset life cycle, implementation procedures, technologies, tools, and methods to obtain and evaluate data, and control/mitigation measures. Data related to the element fields is processed based on relationships established by the paradigm. Based on the analysis, information related to the integrity of the underground storage asset is output lot-use in managing the underground storage asset.
