Practical notes on integrity, pigging, flow assurance and operations — written for engineers and operators working in the field.
Addressing the integrity challenges of pipelines that cannot be inspected by conventional inline inspection (ILI) tools requires a multi-faceted and often innovative approach. This article outlines practical strategies for managing the integrity of 'unpiggable' pipelines, focusing on risk assessment, alternative inspection methods, and proactive mitigation.
Read articlePigging multidiameter pipelines presents unique challenges for operators, requiring careful planning and specialized solutions to ensure effective cleaning, inspection, and integrity management. This article details the engineering considerations and mitigation strategies for successful operations.
Read articleStress Reversal Analysis (SRA) is a critical technique for assessing the fatigue life of pipelines, particularly those subjected to cyclic loading. This article provides a practical overview of SRA, its applications, and how operators can effectively integrate it into their integrity management programs.
