Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is focused on the practical and operational aspects of pipeline pigging and integrity assessment, including corporate objectives, risk, planning integrity programs, In-Line Inspection (ILI) tools, intelligent pigs, conventional pigs, anomaly identification and analysis, repair, coating, and pressure testing. Participants will be introduced to the technical basis for determining pipeline integrity. The course will 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.This course will provide information, reinforced by case studies and exercises on pipeline defects, such as corrosion, cracking and third party damage. Methods will be discussed that can be used to make decisions on whether defects are fit for service. This course will review the various repair techniques, their advantages and shortcomings and the logic to be followed in making repair decisions and selecting the applicable repair. In addition, pressure testing will be studied, including an exercise based on an actual hydrostatic pressure test. link to course overview PDF
