Reversionary Mode Analysis (RMA)

Reversionary Mode Analysis (RMA) is a method for evaluating the risk profile of a proposed system in Dollar terms, based on systematic engineering analysis. With it, you can compare system options, identify the best option to support the business case, and formulate a risk-reduction plan.

RMA is the technique for high reliability that we have adapted from aerospace & defense industry practice. Its recent success has led to many new projects for us, using RMA to evaluate
	Alternative systems
	Technology options
	Potential design improvements
	System configurations

One such system analysis project was for Baker Oil Tools. Baker intend to stay ahead in the rapidly advancing field of "intelligent wells", and we bring them analytical tools and techniques to do just that. Our customer there said he was "impressed as hell!"

RMA succeeds by combining -
	Comprehensive failure mode analysis, and
	Cost-of-failure models

It can address the whole product life-cycle (for an equipment manufacturer):
	design
	procurement
	manufacturing
	test
	installation
	operation

or it can address the whole well or field life-cycle (for an operating company):
	construction processes (eg drilling, casing, completion)
	production (possibly several phases)
	intermediate processes (eg re-entry for re-completion or for abandonment)

- to provide the solutions for high reliability and to evaluate the risks and options in economic terms.
