The Offshore and Onshore Reliability Data (OREDA) project was established in 1981 in cooperation with the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (now Petroleum Safety Authority Norway). It is "[o]ne of the main reliability data sources for the oil and gas industry".[1] OREDA's original objective was the collection of petroleum industry safety equipment reliability data. The current organization, as a cooperating group of several oil & gas companies, was established in 1983, and at the same time the scope of OREDA was extended to cover reliability data from a wide range of equipment used in oil & gas exploration and production (E&P). OREDA primarily covers offshore, subsea and topside equipment, but does also include some onshore E&P, and some downstream equipment as well.[2][3]
The main objective of the OREDA project is to contribute to an improved safety and cost-effectiveness in design and operation of oil & gas E&P facilities, through collection and analysis of maintenance and operational data, establishment of a high quality reliability database, and exchange of reliability, availability, maintenance and safety (RAMS) technology among the participating companies.[3]
Project Phases
Work on the OREDA project proceeds in phases spanning 2–3 years. Handbooks summarizing the data collected and other work completed are issued regularly.[1]
- Phase XII (2015)
The OREDA project is in its 12th phase as of 2015. In this phase, the 6th OREDA Handbook (2015 edition) was published. Apart from that, a new webshop solution has been established, in collaboration with the European Safety Reliability & Data Association (ESReDA).[2][4]
- Phase XI (2012–2014)
New data collection software was developed; the 6th OREDA Handbook (2015 edition) was planned; a quality assurance review of the database was conducted; a new webpage design and new graphical profile were developed.[2]
- Phase X (2009–2011)
The 5th OREDA Handbook (2009 edition) was released; new safety analysis software was developed; !!!SIL data based on OREDA!!!; and GDF Suez and Petrobras became associated members.[2]
- Phase IX (2006–2008)
OREDA software and taxonomy were brought in line with ISO 14224. There was a continued focus on including worldwide safety data. In observance of OREDA's 25-year anniversary, a seminar was conducted.[2]
The data collected in this phase are published in the OREDA Handbook (2015 edition)
- Phase VIII (2004–2005)
Phase VIII mainly continued the goals and activities of phase VII. OREDA members participated in the revision of ISO 14224, issued in December 2006.[2]
The data collected in this phase are published in the OREDA Handbook (2015 edition).
- Phase VII (2002–2003)
Priority continued to be given to subsea equipment data collection. A revision of ISO 14224 was begun, with contribution from members of the OREDA project.[2]
The data collected in this phase are published in the OREDA Handbook (2009 edition).
- Phase VI (2000–2001)
Data collection on subsea equipment and new equipment classes were prioritised. A forum for co-operation between major subsea equipment manufacturers was formed.[2]
The data collected in this phase are published in the OREDA Handbook (2009 edition).
Participants
Organization
Need
Before the OREDA project began collecting data, "no authenticated source of failure information existed for offshore installations," and risk assessments had to be made using "generic data from onshore petroleum plants and data from other industries."[5]
Data
By 1996, OREDA had collated data about 24,000 pieces of equipment in use in offshore installations, and documented 33,000 equipment failures.[6] The severity of failures documented in the database are categorized as either critical, degradation, incipient, or unknown severity.[6]
Database Structure
The 6th edition of the OREDA Handbook contains an expanded set of equipment classes, including common subsea components, subsea control systems, subsea power cables, subsea pumps, and subsea vessels.[1]

Despite the considerable interest in risk and reliability engineering studies for offshore systems, no authenticated source of failure information existed for offshore installations, before 1985. It was necessary to resort to generic data from onshore petroleum plants and data from other industries.
