Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. This course provides an in-depth understanding of the technical and operational aspects of pipeline pigging. It also provides a programmatic approach to pipeline assessment, maintenance and monitoring as it relates to pipeline pigging. The course is both technical and practical. Its primary goal is to present the information in such a manner those participants from all walks of industry will easily be able to understand and apply the concepts and pigging techniques. It will also help the participants make the right decisions for the development of new pipeline pigging systems, the operation of existing systems and in the selection of cleaning pigs and In Line Inspection (ILI) tools. The course details the required follow up from ILI runs in terms of defect disposition and prioritization as well as repair options considering cost efficiencies and regulatory requirements. Throughout the course, there are practical class exercises to apply the concepts learned to operational case histories in oil, gas and multiphase pipelines.The experienced engineer will find an in-depth exploration of pig selection, pigging sequences, preparation for and running an In Line Inspection and above all ensuring safe pigging operations. The new engineer will find an excellent opportunity to learn in a structured and logical sequence of course material as well as from the knowledge and experience of other course participants. The course includes calculation techniques for making quantitative decisions in the design and development of pipeline pigging programs and pipeline defect assessments. Please bring a calculator.
