Optimisation of pipeline integrity management cost by simulation in combination with experimental and risk based inspection (RBI) study
Abstract
Subsea pipeline integrity management requires frequent launching of intelligent pig which involves very high risk and cost, especially if using subsea pig receiver. BIENDONG POC has conducted simulation in combination with experimental and risk-based inspection (RBI) studies. This solution helped BIENDONG POC to better manage the operational and emergency risks to subsea pipelines, and determine the required intelligent pigging time to be 10 years after first gas, instead of 5 years as previous settings, thus reducing risks and significantly saving time and operational cost.
