Summary of Incident CausesSummary of Incident Causes





Expanding the Tool Box for System IntegrityExpanding the Tool Box for System Integrity

Data Integration is key to Managing Integrity– Overlay Historical Knowledge, Recent Inspections with Digs– Initiated Standardized Definitions and Suggested Relationships

• Demonstrated in PODS, becoming an ANSI Standard

Direct Assessment – Providing Methodologies for External, Internal, CDA, and SCC– Improved, Alternatives and Innovative Inspections– Understanding Limitations, and – Improving Confidence through Validations

Prevention of Mechanical Damage – Best Practices – aim to support ASME B31P– Innovations to Develop Methods and Tools





Expanding & Applying Technology

Solution = Identify + Understand + Control/Prevent

Expanding & Applying Technology

Solution = Identify + Understand + Control/Prevent

Integrity Must Address all 25 Threats in Seven Groups: – Time Dependent, Stable, & Time Independent

Hydro Test “Intended” Failure Confirms Integrity

Pigging Which Threats; What Technology; How Often

Direct Assessment Knowing Where to Dig & Why & How Often

New DA Inspection Tool Development New DA Inspection Tool Development

Specific Tools to consider for DOE/DOT Research Funding:

Corrosion Mapper (MEIS) ($400K –possibly DOT)

Transwave (EUPEC RMS) ($50K – in ECDA field trials)

NoPig ( additional 2004 Trials possibly )

Magnetic Telescope ($900K possibly DOE)

Long Range Ultrasonic Testing ($300K DOT cofunded)

Fluidized Sensors ($750K – 80% DOE)

Multi-service Tool - DA Meter in field test trials

Innovation or “Outside the Box”





MEIS – Magnetic Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

Coating Disbondment & Corrosion MapperMEIS – Magnetic Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

Coating Disbondment & Corrosion Mapper

Need to find commercialization partner – SoCal and NGA own intellectual property

Possible partners are NoPig or Dynalog

NoPig (service provider)– Currently makes one of two measurements

• Calibration step• Need to add measurement to ground

– Very interested in MEIS • Want to commercialize metal loss first• Concerned about infringements of MEIS on internal IP

Dynalog (equipment manufacturer) – Maker of C-SCAN– Have capability to make multi-frequency magnetometer measurements





EUPEC RMS (formerly Transwave)EUPEC RMS (formerly Transwave)

Transwave now EUPEC - Remote Monitoring Systems (RMS)– Survey System ATIS

• Equipment redesigned to be more reliable

Technique similar to GRI developed waveform analyzer– Waveform analyzer places specific waveform on pipeline– ATIS uses natural harmonics of 60Hz from impressed CP

Evaluating ATIS system in ECDA tests– CIS type test - El Paso test near Cleveland, TX– Stray current test - Enbridge test in Toronto

No need for DA development at this time– EUPEC RMS interested in Real Time Monitoring development– Directed toward Mechanical Damage Prevention





NoPigNoPig

Completed first NA field tests – mid July ’03

DOT cofunding contracted @ $390K

Covered in DOT Presentation





Magnetic TelescopeMagnetic Telescope

– Currently addressing deficiencies identified in previous DOE rejection

– Plan to seek DOE funds in next solicitation– Proposal seeks $900K over 2-3 years

• DOE cofunding needed • NGA cofunding possible• PRCI cofunding ~ $100K-$200K





Long Range Ultrasonic TestingLong Range Ultrasonic Testing

– Proposal - Look for SCC either side of the bell hole– Projects are underway with DOT cofunding.





Fluidized SensorsFluidized Sensors

– SwRI proposal • Nano-particles in pipeline to seek humidity

– DOE interested• Want to see task addressing particle size

– Concerned particle size too large– May drop out and settle on bottom of pipe

– March ’03 Cost @ $640K over 2 years• $200K PRCI share





Integrated Multi-Service ToolIntegrated Multi-Service Tool

– Tool to perform some combination of:

• Close Interval Survey

• Current Mapper (PCM/CSCAN)

• DCVG/ACVG

• Soil Resistivity

– Northeast Gas Association has lead in this area





Protocol Development Protocol Development

Work has started on two protocols to guide the committee members in developing individual company standard operating procedures to meet ASME B31.8S, NACE RP0502 & Expected Reg:

Overall Integrity Management Protocol– Kiefner & Associates

External Corrosion Direct Assessment Protocol– Corrpro lead for transmission– Alternatives in AGA/GTI, NGA plus PG&E





In SummaryIn Summary

PRCI Technology is Key to Operational Excellence Improves the Means to Identify, Understand, and Control Threats

Enables the Flexible Development and Application of the Best Solution for Each Problem in the Operating Environment in Which it Occurs

Drives More Productive, More Responsive, and More Reliable Operations

Returns Investment Value: Value = Improvement and Innovation

Is the Critical Building Block of Sound, Thorough Risk Management – The Foundation of Integrity Management and a Key Component of Operational Excellence
