| Summary: | This paper presents a review of the Integrated Management System (IMS) in the oil and gas industry. Literature reviews were carried out to identify the available current studies of IMS in the oil and gas industry. The majority of the papers on the IMS in the oil and gas industry focus on Integrated Health, Safety and Environmental Management System based on OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001 requirements due to the involvement of highly risk activities. The IMS papers in the oil and gas industry are mainly on historical case studies on companies where actual experiences and best practices were shared. The evolution of the IMS can be seen from the elements being studied or shared. Earlier IMS papers focused on the development, strategies and benefits gained from IMS, whilst the recent ones focused on sustainability, social responsibility and risks. The scope of IMS however remains within the three most popular certifiable standards of ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. Most of the IMS papers were presented in the oil and gas conferences and seminars by Oil & Gas Energy and Production (E&P) Companies. There is lack of IMS papers by Oil and Gas Marine Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation (EPCI) Contractors. The IMS knowledge on the oil and gas companies’ experience in developing and implementing the IMS is limited by the available review of literatures. It may not reflect the latest IMS implementation status of these companies. This paper reviews the integration of management systems on industrial basis (oil and gas industry), which the literature has not been covered widely. As there is lack of literatures on the IMS in Oil and Gas EPCI Marine Contractors, a survey questionnaire will be sent to the contractors that registered with International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) and have been certified to more than one certification (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and others). The data from the survey will be analysed to identify the key aspects of IMS design and implementation in the Oil and Gas EPCI Marine Contractors. A case study will be conducted in one of the Oil and Gas Marine Contractors to design and implement the IMS framework suitable for the EPCI projects. |
