Categories > Technical / Mechanical Category:    Effective Pipeline Integrity and Corrosion Control Strategies     Program Duration : 5 Days Program Date : 04-08 February, 2012 Program Location : Cairo, Egypt Program Fees : US$ 3200/Per Person   PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: Development of highly effective performance-based corrosion mitigation programs to assure pipeline integrity versus prescriptive regulations to extend reliable pipeline life. Identification of a suite of internal corrosion monitoring techniques and protocols for buried or submerged pipelines. An introduction to corrosion economic evaluations; this can be used to gain senior management acceptance and buy-in for corrosion interventions. Development of ILI and/or ECDA/ICDA programs for piggable and non-piggable pipelines. An introduction to the relevance of ICPM protocols and their importance in the development of effective corrosion control programs. Proper development of an overall pipeline system or network corrosion management plan through the introduction of three sub-programs including PIM, RCC and OQ. Identification of common internal and external corrosion mechanisms, their cause and intervention options available to minimize the degradation of pipeline assets. PROGRAM OUTLINES: 1. Strategies for Minimizing Pipeline Corrosion Program Corrosion strategies for maintaining pipeline integrity Developing a comprehensive Corrosion Management Plan (CMP) Systematic approach to implementing cathodic protection to minimize external pipeline corrosion Systematic approach to formulate and to implement maintenance plans to minimize internal pipeline corrosion Technological developments for harsh and demanding conditions Technological developments for corrosion sampling, monitoring and measurement 2. External and Internal Corrosion Maintenance Techniques Examining the different types of corrosion Key differences between CO2 and H2S corrosion mechanisms Significance of flow regimes prevailing inside a pipeline Assessing and mitigating the different types of corrosion for different operating phases (commissioning, normal, intermittent, shut-in for turnarounds, mothballing, acidisation, etc.) Dealing with “top-of-the-line” corrosion ILI of Pipelines Internal Corrosion Predictive Modelling ECDA and ICDA applications and limitations Examining Corrosion Resistant Alloy (CRA) Selection of corrosion inhibitors – Do’s and Don’ts Selection of corrosion monitoring devices Determination of frequency of sampling Assuring successful corrosion inspections Technological developments for pipeline inspection How to present the ROIs to top management? 3. Successful Pigging of Non-Piggable Pipelines Advantages and disadvantages associated with ILI vs. ECDA/ICDA ICPM: Pros and Cons - Limitations Is your pipeline ready for Intelligent Pigging (IP) and the key to successful IP How can you select and successfully mobilize contractors? Are site conditions suitable? How do you carry out repairs/upgrades of pipelines from IP results? 4. Optimizing an Integrity Program for Pipelines How do you achieve optimization? Prioritization based on risk assessment – an introduction What are the factors involved? How do you measure the success of your integrity program? Tracking of corrosion control costs/revenue enhancement/downtime reduction Sharing of learning/corrosion control manuals/technical audits WHO SHOULD ATTEND? This short course provides an understanding of technology that drive the oil transportation for those in production, refineries and petroleum pipeline- transportation companies.
