Download or read book Pipeline Integrity Management Under Geohazard Conditions written by Mamdouh M. Salama and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on Pipeline Integrity Management Under Geohazard Conditions (PIMG), includes 42 peer-refereed papers prepared by key industry subject matter experts. The papers compile the results of extensive research as well as assemble pipeline operators' experiences in tackling geohazard challenges for both new and vintage pipelines. In addition to the experts' papers, the editors of the book prepared an introduction to each section that includes summary review of the different papers in the section. The papers are presented in 10 sections addressing all aspects of geohazard integrity management. The fi rst section highlights the geohazard impact on pipeline integrity. The next four sections focused on the geohazard demand and its management by addressing geohazard characterization, monitoring, management and mitigation. The following four sections focused on the strain capacity by addressing strain capacity predictions, management and monitoring. The last chapter tied both strain demand and capacity through structural reliability and risk assessment protocols. The information in this book is not only intended for use by pipeline designers and operators but it is expected to also be used by regulators and standards writing organizations. It is therefore, the intention of ASME to update this book on a regular basis as new data, case studies and advancement of the state of practice become available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to managing threats in pipelines. Everyone working in the pipeline industry - and anyone concerned with safe and reliable operation of pipelines - needs to be aware of threats and must understand how the resulting risks are managed. The book opens with an introductory overview and a chapter on 'Pipeline Engineering Principles, ' which introduces the reader to the infrastructure that transports our energy around the world: crude oil and natural gas pipelines. It also gives basic principles in pipeline engineering and explains some pipeline design concepts. Pipelines are made using steel tubes called 'line pipe, ' and Chapter 3, 'Line Pipe Principles, ' covers the manufacture of this line pipe and the standards used to ensure high quality. Chapter 4, an 'Introduction to In-line inspection, or ILI - the use of inspection tools inside a pipeline - reviews the in-line inspection tools available today for inspecting all the types of high-pressure pipelines. Chapters 5 through 12 cover some of the main threats to pipelines: corrosion, cracking, mechanical damage, geohazards, material and construction defects, theft, and specific threats to submarine pipelines. Chapter 13, 'Pipeline Defect Assessment Basics, ' introduces the reader to methods for assessing the significance of pipeline defects such as corrosion and dents. Chapter 14 is devoted to 'Pipeline Integrity Management.' Integrity management is part of asset management and includes the many and varied activities pipeline operators must undertake to ensure that releases of products from their pipelines do not occur. In the final chapter several eminent figures in the pipeline industry share their thoughts on the state of current technology and the needs and promise of the future.

Download or read book Reliability Based Integrity Management of Natural Gas Pipelines Subject to Spatio Temporal Corrosive Environment written by Keo-Yuan Wu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pipeline integrity management refers to an approach of understanding and operating pipelines in a safe and reliable manner. In this work, firstly, a probabilistic predictive model for internal corrosion of natural gas pipelines subject to aqueous CO2/H2S environment has been proposed. The model regards uniform and pitting corrosion as two main corrosion mechanisms and has been calibrated with the experimental data in a deterministic framework. Methodologies of simulating and accounting for temporal and spatial variabilities of operating parameters have been proposed and applied to the model for field applications. The model has been validated against field data from eight wet gas gathering pipelines in a probabilistic framework. Secondly, a reinforcement learning (RL)-based maintenance scheduler has been proposed for pipeline maintenance optimization problems by leveraging the proposed predictive corrosion model and the Q-learning and Sarsa algorithms. A case study has shown the superiority of the proposed maintenance scheduler over the periodic maintenance policy in reducing the maintenance costs. Finally, the previous two parts of work have been integrated into a pipeline system integrity management software featuring pipeline health monitoring, corrosion prognosis, system-level failure analysis, sensor placement optimization, and inspection/maintenance optimization. A case study has been provided to demonstrate the capabilities of the software.

Download or read book Natural Gas Pipeline Safety written by Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-13 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 established a risk-based program for gas transmission pipelines-the integrity management program. The program requires operators of natural and other gas transmission pipelines to identify "high consequence areas" where pipeline incidents would most severely affect public safety, such as those occurring in highly populated or frequented areas. Operators must assess pipelines in these areas for safety risks and repair or replace any defective segments. Operators must also submit data on performance measures to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). The 2002 act also directed GAO to assess this program's effects on public safety. Accordingly, we examined (1) the effect on public safety of the integrity management program and (2) PHMSA and state pipeline agencies' plans to oversee operators' implementation of program requirements. To fulfill these objectives, GAO interviewed 51 gas pipeline operators and surveyed all state pipeline agencies.
