Integrity Management of Onshore and Offshore Pipelines

Introduction

Identify the different strategies required to ensure that the integrity and reliability of pipelines is effectively managed throughout the entire life cycle from design through decommissioning.

The Pipelines Integrity Management PIMS aims to contribute to the successful achievement of the companies’ vision and gives assurance to management and shareholders that the assets integrity is well maintained.

The goal of this course is to bridge the gap between the theoretical and practical knowledge of Pipelines Integrity Management methodology and processes.

Objectives

•        MAXIMIZE the economic value of the company by optimal design, maintain, operate and decommission pipelines to high and consistent standards using the AIM process and ISO 55000 Standard.
• EXPLAINS in details the basic Assets Integrity Management Modules (8 Modules) and how PIMS can assure pipelines long term availability.
• RECOGNIZE the different corrosion control options and explains how good corrosion mitigation can reduce the risk exposure and be used as an effective tool to address life extension requirements of aging facilities.
• CLARIFIES the organizational interfaces and roles and responsibilities of the relevant technical personnel engaged in the development and implementation of the PIMS.
• UNDERSTAND the 5 reasons why Pipeline Integrity Management Fails.
• EXPLAINS the different inspection and monitoring techniques employed for pipelines and how good measurements may assist in the Risk assessment and control process.
• DISCUSS major operator’s advancement in pipelines inspection, operation and decommissioning.

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations.

Who Should Attend?

The target participants are the staff engaged in the design, construction, commissioning, and operation of the pipelines:

• Asset Managers
• Facilities Operation and Production Engineers
• Integrity and Corrosion Engineers
• Pipelines Maintenance/ Inspection/Repair Professional
• Pipelines design, construction, and commissioning
