About the Course

The Lifetime Extension of Rigid Pipelines and Flexibles course provides vital knowledge for oil and gas professionals involved in extending the operational life of pipelines and flexible risers. It covers the lifecycle threat evaluation (LTE) process, common failure modes, and inspection methods for both onshore and offshore assets. Participants will explore risk assessments, fatigue analysis, and remnant life assessments to manage internal and external threats.


The course also addresses operational integrity management, including pipeline integrity management systems (PIMS), flow assurance, and monitoring techniques. Attendees will gain insight into late-life integrity strategies, repair versus replacement decisions, and the complexities of obsolescence and decommissioning.

 


Learning Objectives

  • Understand LTE processes and key threats to pipeline integrity.

  • Identify and address common failure modes in rigid pipelines and flexible risers.

  • Apply risk-based inspection strategies to manage integrity throughout the pipeline lifecycle.

  • Utilise advanced inspection technologies for internal and external pipeline assessments.

  • Make informed decisions about repair, replacement, and life extension strategies.
