Objective of the IMP
The main objective of the IMP is to provide technological support to Mexican oil industry in exploration, exploitation and refining processes.
For achieving this goal, the IMP has research programs and technological service divisions.

Developments in Shallow Waters Engineering
Achievements
•Establishment of risk-based design and assessment codes for fixed platforms and pipelines (WSD philosophy)
•Development of risk-based inspection planning criteria
Currently Work
•Updating the design and assessment code for jacket platforms including several offshore production areas in the Gulf of Mexico (WSD philosophy).
Future Works
•Development of design code for jacket platforms in LRFD format
•Updating of design code for pipelines

Projects on Risk and Reliability
1. Measurements of metocean parameters in deep waters and the establishment of the numerical model for the Gulf of Mexico
2. Development of Mexican code with general guidelines for structural design of FPSO´s.
3. Risk and reliability of floating systems:
• Risk study for obtaining target reliabilities
• Methodologies for calibrating safety factors for structural design

Final Remarks
1. IMP main effort is being done on the development of design standards in order to generate the Mexican Codes accord with its own metocean conditions and the own production criteria
2. Codes are calibrated for local conditions and reliability required by Mexican oil industry
3. R&D program on production in deep waters
• Initial phase: technology transfer
• Medium and long term phases: R&D for specific niches
4. Mexico is starting the development of regulations for using floating systems to exploit fields in deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico
