| Summary: | The demand for monitoring activities has been more evident recently in oil and gas ?O & G? activities such as exploration, drilling, production, logistics, or shipping. Consequently, these offshore infrastructures require asset management (or facilities management). This study seeks to understand the research pattern of publications within the domain of asset management in offshore infrastructures with the aim of determining the present state of the field?s research. The paper conducts a scientometric analysis of publications that focus on offshore infrastructures? asset management published between 1992 and 2022. The employed search query yielded a total of 346 journal articles from the Scopus database and 43 from the Web of Science (WoS) database, respectively. The data analysis of the scientometric investigation explored research authorship, co-occurrence of keywords, number of publications, network mapping, country geographical breakdown, and literature coupling. The paper shows rising interest in monitoring and asset management in the oil and gas industry. It was concluded that the management of these infrastructures requires frequent review with the application of sustainable asset management strategies. ? 2024 by the author(s). |
