9.20 Comprehensively Monitoring And Inspecting Sub Sea Pipelines

As Australia’s largest independent producer of oil and gas and one of the world’s largest producers of LNG, Woodside has major operational assets and exploration and development interests in fi ve continents including Australia and North America. Woodside also operates Australia’s largest resources project, the North West Shelf Venture in Western Australia, which produces about 40 per cent of Australia’s oil and gas.

• Best practice for sub sea impact assessment and anomaly verifi cation and quantifi cation
• Outlining the necessity of real time data storage for mapping and weld inspection
• Cost effective techniques: identifying conditions most appropriate for:
• External inspection
• Internal inspection
• Detecting cracks in sub sea pipelines: discussing the best available technology

10.10 Delivering Best Practice For Unpiggable Pipelines

Based in India, Manjit Singh is the Chief General Manager of Engineering & Projects for Indraprastha Gas. His experience is enhanced by the fact that Indraprastha Gas has continuously adopted the latest technology as a result of which the quality of its products has also improved. The company won the Golden Peacock Eco- Innovation Award in 2006. Manjit’s session will cover:

• An overview of the strategies for the effective inspection of unpiggable pipelines
• Evolving your unpiggable pipelines to combat and slowly remedy inhibitors including:
• Lack of suitable valves
• Lack of receiving or launching areas
• Dented or collapsed areas
• Detailing available technologies that maintain the comprehensive approach of intelligent pigs in unpiggable pipelines
• Assessing various initiatives undertaken to maintain the highest standard of pipeline integrity in unpiggable kilometres

11.30 Optimising Resource Spend Through Risk Based Inspection Of Pipelines

The multinational company Chevron - of which Saudi Chevron is a branch - owns and operates many thousands of kilometres of pipeline and is very experienced in this space. These include the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which operates a 1,505-km crude oil export pipeline. The Chad/Cameroon project is developing crude oil fi elds in southern Chad and transporting the crude oil more than 1,070 km by underground pipeline to the coast of Cameroon. The 678-km West African Gas Pipeline began transporting Nigerian natural gas in December 2008 to customers in Ghana, Benin and Togo. This session will cover:

• Identifying the benefi ts of a multidisciplinary approach to pipeline risk management
• Assessing various damage prevention and mitigation schemes for cost effectiveness
• Optimising fi nancial and operational risk levels: achieving the most effective spend
• Maintaining integrity, responsiveness and effi ciency of your pipeline management system

12.20 ROUNDTABLE: Implementing A Well-Integrated Approach To Pipelines Management

The numerous individuals involved in the data collection, maintenance and prevention of signifi cant disturbance to your pipeline can vary and can often be hard to track. This roundtable is your chance to discuss best practice and discover the most innovative approaches to maintaining a well integrated system of pipeline asset management. You will discuss:

• Sharing critical and cumulative information through web based management systems including:
• Intelligent pigging data
• Trench and backfi lling conditions
• Seabed or soil conditions
• Maintaining a comprehensive damages and subsequent action and repair catalogue to assist in effective strategy evaluation
• Monitoring changing conditions through production records that detail pressure, temperature and fl ow characteristics
• Recognising shifting trends from record assessments and their root cause

2.20 In Conference Workshop: Undertaking Maintenance Task Analysis For Fast, Effective Pipeline MaintenanceStrategy Development

Rationale:

Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA) is an accelerated approach to developing a successful maintenance program for your pipeline assets based on the Aladon best practice principles. The MTA process has been found to be less resource and time intensive whilst still identifying preventable failures without increasing risk. Understanding how this approach is right for you and your assets requires consideration of a number of factors which will be clarifi ed in this hands-on workshop. In most cases, aligning yourself with the appropriate, qualifi ed service provider means that you will enhance and deliver value driven results for maximum effectiveness.

Learning Objectives:

• Overview of maintenance strategy development as a key to understanding MTA
• Expanding your understanding of MTA as a part of your maintenance strategy development toolbox to make more informed decisions regarding costs/benefi ts and providers
• Facilitated step-by-step walk through of MTA on an example asset to consolidate understanding of potential outcomes and benefi ts
• Brief overview of available tools to assist in the recording of decisions and subsequent implementation
