... risk. While nominal or minimum specified material properties and SCADA reported, design or estimated operational loading conditions can be considered, pipeline operators depend heavily on pipeline condition data from in line inspection systems. This paper will present the details of performance trials...

... crack feature detected by crack in-line inspection tools, under known loading, is calculated for two segments of operating pipelines in North America. The PRCI developed model, referred to as PipeOnline™, is compared to the legacy Enbridge linear growth and Paris Law models. A calibration technique...

... compliance. In approving new projects, the NEB imposes conditions outlined in approval Orders and Certificates. It then tracks these conditions for compliance, completeness and effectiveness. The compliance information is gathered mainly from activities such as inspections, audits and company filings...

... feedback to the corrosion mitigation plan and a selective inspection plan to validate the corrosion mechanisms and mitigation effectiveness and to confirm the pressure-containment capability of the pipeline. This paper describes several case studies where the use of a suitable corrosion monitoring device...

... for integrity management of gas transmission pipelines. As in the earlier rule for integrity management of hazardous liquid pipeline, OPS had four fundamental objectives: 1) to increase the level of integrity assessments (i.e., in-line inspection, pressure testing or direct assessment) for pipelines that can...

... of crude oil and liquids. A variety of in-service non-destructive examination (NDE) processes are available to pipeline operators to inspect for internal corrosion, external corrosion and cracks. Enbridge Pipelines have completed over 2000 excavations of in-line inspection (ILI) tool-identified defects...

... a huge number of sections and range of risks. this can be confusing and cannot easily be accounted for in inspection planning. • A clear link between risks and inspection or monitoring is needed. • Simplicity and flexibility are critical. This paper describes a radical new approach to using risk...
