What is pipeline integrity management?

PIM is a subset of the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) function of Pipeline
Operations
It comprises those actions focused on preventing pipeline failures and
ensuring:
Public and employee safety
Protection of the environment
Reliable service
These actions generally include the following:
Inspection of the pipeline
Integrity assessment
Repair and remediation
Risk prevention and mitigation programs
Continual integrity assessment planning

Case Study - QP Selected Offshore

Pipeline Integrity Assessment
Engineering Consultancy study follows the methodology laid out by QP. The
overall objective of the study is to:
Evaluate the condition of the 51 selected offshore pipelines
Establish their fitness-for-purpose and need for any remedial work
Determine the level of risk associated with continuing operating life
Identify the remedial measures and costs required to bring operation risks in
line with standard industry practice levels
The production of individual pipeline study reports
Overall Pipeline Integrity Study Report (PIR)
Other deliverables:
PIM document philosophy (Corporate Philosophy and Codes of Practices)
GIS based Pipeline Management Integrity System (PIMS)

Study approach & methodology

The work is being carried out in five phases:
Phase 1: Data gathering, review & integration
Phase 2: Engineering evaluation of FFP

Phase 3: Risk assessment
Phase 4: Define SOW for FEED
Phase 5: Development GIS based PIMS software

Data Alignment Module
Load and align various data sets to
enhance analysis and visualization of
pipeline data
ILI Feature Assessment
Perform in-depth feature analysis for an
understanding of current and future
condition
Risk Assessment
Accurately rank and forecast risk for
cost-effective, long-term pipeline
management
Integrity Planning
Automatically and / or manually generate
scenarios consisting of proposed mitigation
actions. Compare between various scenarios
based on risk reductions, costs and KPI
performance
12
Data Alignment
Tools to load & align data
various data types and
formats in-line & aboveground inspections for
subsequent analysis &

visualization
Align new data to centerline
or other inspection data
Automatically or interactively
establish matches or common
features
Immediate feedback of
alignment based on userestablished tolerances
Graphic and tabular
interface to target & align data
13
Feature Assessment
Analyze and prioritize data
for more effective prioritization

and management of repairs
Engineering critical analysis

Repair management
14
Risk Assessment
Generate a risk profile including
histogram of risk algorithm results

and condition assessment results
Perform threat screening
Perform a data gap analysis with
ability to directly edit pipeline data
View and compare multiple risk
results
Generate output in charts and
customizable reports
15
Integrity Planning
PipeView Integrity provides
the ability to generate integrity
plans
Create an auditable
documented process for
integrity management that is
compliant with regulations
Ensure company standards
are achieved by incorporating
the clients guidelines on bestpractices for mitigation and
remediation
Calculate the most costeffective mitigation strategies
for the clients pipelines

51 Integrity Management Plans (Example)

1. FFP Evaluation
2. Threat identification
& risk profile
3. Recommended
remediation activities

Pipeline Life Extension

Notional design life is 25 years
38 pipelines have exceeded 25 years design life
Main concerns (of this study) to remaining useful
life are time dependent threats:
Internal corrosion
External corrosion
rehab
Stability
Sour cracking
Mitigated/Monitored
by
ILI/auto UT/inhibition/sampling
CP surveys/anode retrofits/coating
Repair anomalous spans, crossings
Control internal corrosion risk
As long as pipelines are regularly monitored for all relevant threats, maintained &
remediated as required they can continue to be operated beyond design life
indefinitely until economically unviable
Life extension relies more and more heavily on effective use of increasing volumes
of data as the life extension process matures.
