Development of integrity management strategies for pipelines

摘要

With the demand for energy from an ageing pipeline infrastructure, there is an increasing need to ensure the integrity ofnassets and extend their safe remaining life. Gathering sufficient knowledge about the pipeline and knowing how best tonanalyse the available information has become critical to ensuring the long-term integrity of pipelines. Inspection usingnin-line intelligent tools provides the clearest picture of the condition of the pipeline. The information gathered from theseninspections can then support numerous integrity related activities, including corrosion assessment, corrosion growthnassessment, and remnant-life assessment and corrosion-management strategy. This article describes the particularnmethodologies and demonstrates their application using experience gained with Jadranski Naftovod Plc
