An SGA/DNV GL/Kiefner & Associates/ROSEN/PRCI workshop
Dublin (Columbus), OH
May 22-24, 2018
PRCI is excited to partner with SGA on these important In-line Inspection Workshops. These workshops are ideal for developing the knowledge needed to ensure safe operations of our oil & gas pipeline infrastructure.
PRCI members can register for the same price as SGA members using the PRCI PROMO CODE obtainable from PRCI. Registration may be done either on-line or by calling SGA Member Services (972) 620-4012.
Registrations are limited to 30 people to optimize interaction between instructors and attendees.
This workshop provides operations and maintenance engineers in pipeline companies with the knowledge to establish and manage an ILI program that contributes optimum value toward improved pipeline integrity. It focuses on: Cracking; Crack ILI tools; Mapping tools; Data analysis
The SGA Practical ILI Workshop workshop or equivalent experience is a prerequisite for the SGA Advanced ILI workshop. The content of the Practical ILI workshop will not be repeated in the Advanced ILI workshop.
Who Should Attend
Operations and maintenance engineers and senior technicians responsible for in-line inspections using intelligent pigs.
Learning Objectives
At the completion of this workshop the student:
Will be able to:
Select the appropriate intelligent pig(s) for the potential defects in a pipeline
Critically review results from a pipeline inspection project
Use the information from an intelligent pig run to develop an appropriate repair, replacement, remediation program
Set out relevant issues in contract documents
Will know:
The principles of design and operation of key systems and parts of an intelligent pig: sensors; signal processing; storage; power source; markers
The advantages and disadvantages of competing technologies
The defects that intelligent pigs currently do not detect or size well
The attributes of manual and automated data analysis processes
The range of sensing technologies currently applied in intelligent pigs
How an intelligent pigging program contributes to pipeline integrity
How to prioritize pipeline sections for inspection using basic risk analysis techniques
Fundamentals of defect assessment – how to prioritize repair and replacement
The precision and accuracy of various inspection techniques
The implications of incorporating intelligent pigging information into an integrated pipeline integrity information system
About the influence of pig inspection speed and the use of speed control on pigs
Will know where to find out about:
Intelligent pigs that are available on the market
Pipeline failure statistics
Pipeline failure case studies
Regulatory requirements regarding the use of intelligent pigs
