Following is a detailed program for the IPS we are following:
1. Study on Pipeline assessment methods (ILI, Hydro testing, DA), Selection of best approach
2. Selection of ILI tool (MFL, UT, EMAT, EC, any combination of them in HR and LR)
3. Provide full SOW for tendering
4. Technical evaluation of bidders
5. PTT (Pull Through Test) evaluation
6. Provide Method statement including Contingency plan for any stuck pig scenario, Pigging consequence and acceptance criteria
7. Selection of required cleaning pigs
8. Selection of Gauging tool (gauging plate and Bending plate size and dimension)
9. Supervision of all Piggings (conventional cleaning pigging and intelligent pigging)
10. Selection of AGM or Magnet marker locations (Reference points)
11. Supervision of AGM or Magnet marker installation
12. Pig tracking services
13. Debris analysis and laboratory tests
14. Assessment of ILI operational reports (Magnetization level, Pig velocity, Sensor loss, Temp. gradian, etc.)
15. Assessment of Preliminary report
16. Selection of defects for Dig-up verification of results
17. Plotting unity diagram (based on API 1163) for pigging results
18. Final report analysis and approval
19. ILI comparison with prior ILI reports (if any)
20. Level 2 defect assessments (based on ASME B31g, mB31G, Rstreng, Shell92, DNF F101 part B, PDAM, API 579-1/ASME FFS-1 Fitness for Service Evaluation)
21. Remaining lifetime calculation
22. Level 3 assessment (if required and only for selected defects)
23. Studying on other pipeline integrity relevant reports (included but not limited to DCVG results, CIPS reports, Corrosion coupon retrieval reports, Working fluid sampling, AC/DC interferences, Casings, location of HCA, MCA, USAs, etc) including pipeline segmentation
24. Review other subject pipeline ancillaries integrity status (like BVSs, Pig traps, Injection points, Dead legs, etc.
25. Provide immediate action plan for subject pipeline (per segment)
26. Provide a long term integrity plan (lifetime extension)
27. Planning for next year Operation & Maintenance plan (O&M) with full details of objectives, aims, justifications, budgetary, Roles and responsibilities, etc.)
28. Selection of best (in term of Safety, Reliability and Cost) repair methods (including but not limited to Sectional replacement, Sleeve type A, Sleeve type B, Epoxy Grout Sleeve, Composite repairs, Repair clamps, Grindings, Weld deposition methods, Patch, Hot tap and pressure derating)
29. Supervision of repair projects
30. Provide inspection intervals (Performance based approach)
31. Comprehensive RBA (Risk Based Assessment) report (Annual report)
32. GIS (Geographical Information System) implementation from sketch to state-of-the-art enhanced system
33. Consultancy services for other pipeline integrity issues
