Agenda

1. Pipelines Past and Present.

• History of pipelines
  
• Types of pipelines
  
• Pipelines Statistics

2. Pipeline Design and Risk Reduction.

• Stages of pipelines design
  
• Design codes
  
• Opportunities of risk reduction during
  various design and construction
  stages
  

3. Degradation Mechanisms in Pipelines.

This section will provide a description of defects in pipelines, including pipe manufacturing defects and in-service defects, and to describe examples of their effect on pipeline integrity. The following topics will be included:

• External and internal corrosion
  
• History pipelines failures and their causes
  
• Types of pipelines defects (Manufacturing , Fabrication etc..)
  
• Pipelines failure modes (ductile/brittle fracture)
  

4. Pipelines Corrosion Monitoring and Control.

• Pipeline In-Line Inspection

- Ultrasonic tools (including UltraScan WM, UltraScan CD, EMAT)
- Pipeline location vehicles (including ScoutScan)
- Caliper vehicles (including CalScan)
- Magnetic Flux Leakage tools (including MagneScan, TranScan and Elastic Wave)

• Non piggable pipelines

- Ways for inspecting non piggable pipelines
- Direct assessment procedures and
methodologies for external, and internal
corrosion

• On line corrosion probes and coupons

- LPR probes
- ER probes
- Coupons
- Hydrogen probes

• Cathodic protection technique

- Principles and types of Cathodic protection
systems
- Monitoring of Catholically protected pipelines
- Interference detection and mitigations

• Pipelines coatings and wrapping

- Types of coating and wrapping used for
external pipelines surface protection
- Degradation mechanisms of coating and
wrapping and their impacts on pipeline integrity
- Above ground survey techniques (CIPS, DCVG
etc.)

5. Fitness for service and de-rating This section intends to explain the basic principles of integrity assessments, and will include:

• Risk assessment approaches
(quantitative & qualitative )

- Risk based inspection theory and practice
- Analysis of ILI captured features
- Defects assessment methodologies
- Root cause analysis
- Defects repair and remediation
- Development of integrity management plan
