PIPELINE PIGGING & INTEGRITY IN NON-TECHNICAL LANGUAGETHE PERFECT PRIMER FOR PPIM 2018!0.6 Continuing Education UnitA bewildering display of technology and tools will be on display at the PPIM 2018 conference. This new class is designed to familiarize you with all of it in an easy-to-understand way without a lot of the technical jargon that can be so confusing.

The one-day class will be in three parts:

“Utility” pigs and pigging activities: Cleaning pigs. Which ones do what? How they are launched and run inside a pipeline, how they are retrieved. All about chemical cleaning and pigging.

“Smart” pigs, also known as in-line inspection (ILI) tools for internal inspection. Which ones do what? What do they tell us?

What is “pipeline integrity” anyway? Why companies need an integrity program. What are the basic parts of an integrity program? How do they fit together?

If you don’t have a technical background but your job exposes you to any of these technical activities – or if you are new to the industry – or you just want to become more familiar with it all, you can’t spend a few hours any better than this.

Course A 1.4 Continuing Education Units

PIPELINE RISK MANAGEMENTFrom the National Transportation Safety Board Safety Study Integrity Management of Gas Transmission Pipelines in High Consequence Areas, January 27, 2015:

“The study did find that IM programs... require expert knowledge and integration of multiple technical disciplines including... probability and statistics, and risk management.... The study found that aspects of the operators’ threat identification and risk assessment processes require improvement.”

In 2017 PHMSA will implement a wide range of stricter regulations for improving pipeline safety. At the top of the list are:

• Requirements for conducting risk assessment for integrity management, including seismic risk.

• Expanded mandatory data collection and integration requirements for integrity management, including data validation and seismicity.

• Increased focus on a data- and risk-informed approach to safety by requiring integration of available data, including data on the operating environment, pipeline condition, and known manufacturing and construction defects.

• Required annual evaluation of protective measures in High Consequence Areas (HCA), with established deadlines for internal inspections where possible for any new or replaced pipeline that could affect an HCA.

Are you ready for these new rules? The Advanced Risk Management course will equip you with the information and the know-how to set up and implement a comprehensive risk management program for pipelines. It will go into considerable depth in explaining the latest quantitative and qualitative methods for risk profiling and assessments. The focus will be on the establishment of a program that not only fulfils regulatory requirements, but also gives the pipeline owner/operator a long-term decision support tool.

LECTURERW. Kent Muhlbauer, WKM Consultancy

Course B 1.4 Continuing Education Units

US DOT PIPELINE REGULATIONS: IMPACTS & GUIDELINES FOR COMPLIANCEThe course will bring you up to speed on all important compliance matters, including these expected changes proposed by PHMSA:

• Pipelines built before 1970 must now be tested.

• New repair and replacement criteria for pipelines inside and outside of High Consequence Areas (HCA).

• Tightened standards for pressure tests

• PHMSA guidance on how to evaluate internal inspection results to identify anomalies.

• Requirements for conducting risk assessment for integrity management, including seismic risk.

• Expanded mandatory data collection and integration requirements for integrity management, including data validation and seismicity.

• Additional post-construction quality inspections to address coating integrity and cathodic protection issues.

• Required new safety features for pipeline launchers and receivers.

• Required systematic approach to verify maximum allowable operating pressure and report exceedances.

• Required leak-detection systems, and timelines for inspections of affected pipelines following an extreme weather event or natural disaster.

• Required annual evaluation of protective measures in HCA, with established deadlines for internal inspections where possible for any new or replaced pipeline that could affect an HCA.

• Increased focus on a data- and risk-informed approach to safety by requiring integration of available data, including data on the operating environment, pipeline condition, and known manufacturing and construction defects.

Special attention will be given to requirements for Operator Qualification and Integrity Management Plans.

Course C 1.4 Continuing Education Units

INTRODUCTION TO EXCAVATION INSPECTION & APPLIED NDE FOR PIPELINE INTEGRITY ASSESSMENT This course will review both in-line (direct) and indirect inspection methods for pipelines, and the ways in which the results of these inspections are reported. Participants will then learn the correct procedures for conducting investigative digs based on these inspections, and how to use the latest NDE technologies to perform conclusive direct examinations for final integrity assessment and maintenance decisions.

LECTURERSJim Marr, Marr Associates Pipeline Integrity Ltd

Rick Desaulniers, ENTEGRA

Course D 1.4 Continuing Education Units

PIGGING & IN-LINE INSPECTION The use of in-line tools for inspection and cleaning is accepted as essential for the safe and profitable operation of all pipelines. Now, regulations require internal inspections using geometry pigs for detecting changes in circumference, and the use of MFL or ultrasonic pigs for determining wall anomalies or wall loss due to corrosion in onshore pipelines in the US. Offshore, pipeline operators wage a constant battle for flow assurance against paraffin, hydrate, and asphaltene formation in deepwater lines, and pigging technology combined with chemical treatment is their primary weapon. The Pigging and In-line Inspection Course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of utility and in-line inspection pigging. Led by four of the most experienced, independent experts in this field today, the course will be conducted as a workshop, and attendees will be actively encouraged to participate. The course content will be fully illustrated, with actual pigs and models being used to aid understanding and help overcome any language difficulties. Comprehensive course notes will be provided, which will form a valuable source of reference afterwards.

LECTURERSDr Ted Anderson, TL Anderson Consulting

Course F 1.4 Continuing Education Units

DEFECT ASSESSMENT IN PIPELINESMany transmission pipelines are now over 50 years old. This is “middle aged” in pipeline terms, and even the best designed and maintained pipeline will become defective as it progresses through its design life. Therefore, operators need to be aware of the effect these defects will have on their pipeline, and – more importantly – be able to assess their significance in terms of the continuing integrity of the pipeline. The increasing use of high-technology maintenance (for example, intelligent pigs) is helping pipeline owners to assess the condition of their lines, and if these modern maintenance methods are combined with modern defect-assessment methods, they can provide a very powerful, and cost-effective, tool. This course will present the latest defect-assessment methods to pipeline engineers and managers. These methods will range from simple, quick, assessment methods, to the more-detailed – fitness for purpose – analysis. The course is highly interactive and takes the form of lectures, workshops, and case studies.

LECTURERDr Phil Hopkins, Phil Hopkins Ltd

Course G 1.4 Continuing Education Units

PIPELINE INTERITY MANAGEMENT The course provides a sound review of Pipeline Integrity Management strategies, in compliance with regulatory requirements, including self assessment. It is highly interactive and takes the form of lectures and case studies. On completion of the course, participants will have a solid understanding of the procedures, strengths, limitations, and applicability of the main issues that comprise a Pipeline Integrity Management Program.

LECTURERDr Alan Murray, Principia Consulting

Course H 1.4 Continuing Education Units

PIPELINE REPAIR METHODS, HOT TAPPING, AND IN-SERVICE WELDINGThe various aspects of pipeline repair using weld and non-weld methods will be covered, as will the concerns for welding onto in-service pipelines and the approaches used to address them.

In particular:

• Defect assessment prior to repair. Selecting an appropriate repair method.

• Burnthrough and related safety concerns. Hydrogen cracking concerns. Full encirclement repair sleeves.

• Hot-tap branch connections.

• Pipeline repair by weld deposition. Non-welded repairs. Code and regulatory requirements. Hot-tap and repair-sleeve welding. Lessons to be learned from past pipeline repair incidents.

LECTURERSDr Chris Alexander, ADV Integrity, Inc.

Bill Bruce, DNV GL

Course I 1.4 Continuing Education Units

MANAGING CRACKING AND SEAM WELD ANOMALIES IN PIPELINESInspection, Assessment, Repair

also see Course E, page 6

Various forms of cracks, crack-like indications and seam weld anomalies are known to be present on pipelines, which could become a safety concern to their safe operation. The most typical forms of cracking and seam weld anomalies are environmentally, manufacturing-or operational related, such as stress corrosion cracking, corrosion fatigue cracking, hydrogen-induced cracking, hook crack-lie, lack of fusion and cold welds,

This course will provide an integrated, data-driven approach for addressing these integrity threats. It covers in greater depth the formation and conditions that drive their growth until they become unstable, leading to leaks or ruptures. The appropriate assessment methods such as ILI tools, pressure testing and direct assessments will be reviewed as well as traditional and current engineering Fracture Mechanics based methods for determining crack severity for response and remediation. Each attendee will receive a complimentary Excel-based crack assessment calculator which will be demonstrated in class using practical case studies.

Course I gives an overview of fracture principles and analysis and then concentrates on inspection, assessment and repair options. Course E is an in-depth review of fracture characteristics and behavior, modeling, and analysis methods. See the detailed syllabus for these courses at

Course J 1.4 Continuing Education Units

API RECOMMENDED PRACTICE 1173 PIPELINE SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM REQUIREMENTSRecent incidents in the pipeline industry have led to recommendations that pipeline operators adopt safety management systems as a means of attaining a goal of zero incidents. The American Petroleum Institute’s (API) Recommended Practice (RP) 1173 – Pipeline Safety Management System Requirements is the result of a substantial industry effort to provide guidance for the development and maintenance of a pipeline safety management system. The RP is set to be released early this year and has been supported by the regulatory agencies and has been developed with input gathered from two workshops in 2014, as well as a public hearing.

Participants will learn how pipeline design, operations, maintenance, and inspections are managed and linked together as processes.

LECTURERMegan Weichel, DNV GL

Course K 1.4 Continuing Education Units

HYDROSTATIC TESTING OF PIPELINESThis course is designed for pipeline personnel in engineering, integrity management, operations, and regulatory compliance roles. This course will cover a wide range of topics related to hydrostatic testing of pipelines for gas and hazardous liquid service for both in-service and new construction according to CFR 49 Parts 192 and 195. The course will provide attendees with necessary information for planning and conducting a successful hydrostatic test, whether it’s for initial service or retesting existing lines. Planning will cover review of integrity prior to testing through evaluation of test results. The course will focus on testing with water but testing with other medium will be discussed.

LECTURERGary Zunkel, Lake Superior Consulting

Course L 1.4 Continuing Education Units

INSPECTION OF CHALLENGING PIPELINESThe course will provide an in-depth introduction into the inspection of challenging pipelines, i.e. pipelines that cannot be inspected in a straightforward manner using traditional free-swimming in-line inspection tools. The course will introduce typical flaws and anomalies found in challenging assets, including a wide range of metal-loss and crack features. Assets covered in the course include difficult-to-inspect onshore and offshore pipelines in the up-, mid- and downstream sectors, including gathering and distribution lines, loading lines, storage lines, risers, flexible pipe and risers, laterals. The course examines all relevant inspection technologies and related non-destructive testing principles as well as operational procedures, data analysis and reporting.
