Abstract

The degradation of materials under the effects of corrosion in the industry worldwide generates an impact of 2.5 billion US$, which is equivalent to 3.4% World GDP (2013) (NACE, 2016). It is estimated that between 15-35% of the cost can be saved through the implementation of strategies to control the damage mechanisms. Which would increase the useful life of the facilities, generate savings from avoiding the unforeseen stoppage of processes, avoid damage to people and the environment. In Argentina there are various entities that regulate integrity management in facilities (Ministry of Energy and Mining, 2017) (Secretary of Energy of the Nation, 2005) (Enargas, 2010), specifically in the Oil and Gas Production industry. where it is essential to follow regulations that ensure continuity in the operation avoiding damage to people and the environment (Integrity in Gas and Oil Facilities, 2010). The operators have various strategies to address compliance with these regulations, some of them provide a highimpact management model both in terms of resources and rigor, and others ensure minimum compliance with the standard. But it is a common denominator, the lack of contractors with an elevated level of specificity in the matter. This project proposes the implementation in the San Jorge Gulf Basin of a company that supplies the global integrity management service, Integritas Summa, from the associated engineering to the execution of the maintenance activities necessary to use the facilities safely. and in compliance with the best integrity standards in the industry, delivering a global service that will allow the client to present to the authorities the documentation that supports their compliance with the regulations. The service offered by Integritas Summa bases its value proposition on closeness to the client, on specialization in the sector and on the certification of its professionals. These characteristics of the venture supply a fundamental differentiation in a local market that today offers them to us. This business proposal is favored by the growing pressures to which companies that exploit hydrocarbon deposits are subjected, with respect to guaranteeing the sustainability of their operations. Said sustainability is based on contained risk operations, both for people, facilities and the environment. Integritas Summa supplies a service aimed at offering solutions following these premises. The economic analysis conducted on this business plan concludes favorably, confirming its viability. This is evidenced through a positive net present value and a solid sensitivity analysis, considering an attractive rate of return for potential investors
