About the course
This course provides an in-depth understanding of particular problems associated with the integrity management of deepwater risers and flowlines
Duration: 4 days
Level: Practitioner
You will gain from this course
- An understanding of key engineering principles associated with the more challenging aspects of integrity management, such as deep water, high pressure, high temperature environments
- Efficient ways to perform integrity assessments and manage corrosion defects
- How to build 'integrity' into assets during the design, construction and operation phase of offshore pipelines
- A library of worked examples following codes of practice that you can use in future projects
- An opportunity to network with fellow players and learn from their experiences
Learning directly from case-studies of real pipeline failures, delegates will review why the failures occurred, taking away valuable lessons learned to apply to current and future projects.
Who this course is for
Anyone with responsibility for maintaining or operating subsea pipelines and risers, including:
- Pipeline engineers and manager
- Integrity engineers
- Production engineers
- Flow assurance engineers
- Facilities engineers
- Subsea pipeline specialists
- Project managers
- Operations engineers and managers

Course outline
The modules for each day are listed below:
Integrity management systems (IMS)
Integrity management strategy, Plan, Execute, Measure and Improve, Document management and reporting, Risk-based inspection, Emergency response, Incident investigation and learning, Integrity management standard
Integrity during design and installation
Rigid pipeline design for operations, Rigid riser design for operations, Rigid pipeline installation, Rigid riser installation, Commissioning
Case study 1: Pipeline installation failure
North Sea application – Failure during installation, The facts and circumstances surrounding a pipeline installation failure will be reviewed and discussed in this group exercise. Looking at what really happened, why it happened, how the failure could have been prevented and lessons learned
Integrity during operation
Introduction, Flow assurance, Operation and remediation, Inspection methods
Case study 2: Pipe-in-pipe installation and operational failure
Gulf of Mexico application - Complex design of pipeline and riser, How would you deal with the design problems? Failure during commissioning and operation, Examine immediate and root causes, Further failure later in operation, Lessons learned
Case study 3: Pipe-in-pipe failure during operation
North Sea application - One of the first pipe-in-pipe designs, What were the design faults? Failure during operation, Examine immediate and root causes, Lessons learned
Case study 4: Pipeline operational failure
North Sea application, Failure during operation, What would you do? What really happened? Why? How could we have prevented the failure?
Integrity of flexibles
Materials and makeup, Inspection techniques, Monitoring methods, Design and installation incidents, Operational deterioration and damage
Case study 5: Flow-induced pulsations
