Based on these pillars, the concept of reliability has been constantly applied in the oil industry, especially in the Well Safety and Control System, where it is extremely important for the equipment to be reli- able and operatonal when required. In parallel, the Conditon Based Maintenance (CBM) and Prognostc Health Management (PHM) concepts, widely used in critcal industries, which require high reliability levels, are being pointed out as the future for the BOP system management. Within this context, the purpose of this paper is to review the literature on Conditon Based Maintenance and Prognostc Health Management, integrated with reliability concepts, and to enable them to be applied in the BOP health management. The paper identfes diferent concepts needed to support the main theme and, through research and selecton criteria, it brings together a set of publicatons to obtain consistent theoretcal framework. This research outlines important techniques used in high reliabili- ty industries and the way they can be applied on the BOP system and it also provides many useful references and case studies to assist on further development works in terms of well control and operatonal safety.
