Joint Industry Project (JIP):Pipeline Integrity Management


Objectives
  • To develop a template to effectively and economically select, implement, and improve on “Pipeline Integrity Management (PIM)” program
  • To enable the integrity professionals to articulate their success in the PIM
  • To empower them with defendable justification for optimum sources (data and human resource) for carrying out their activities
  • Streamline data collection process and include design-making process as an integral part of data collection, i.e., integration of “data” to “decision”
  • Estimate optimal human resource and their competency requirements for carrying out various integrity management activities.

Benefits
  • Template for selection and implementation of PIM activities that would exceed PHMSA’s mega rule, NACE SP 21430, and Canadian Energy Pipeline Association (CEPA)’s Pipeline Engineer Competency System
  • Better understanding of human factors contributing to risk escalation
  • Justifications for optimal human resources and their competency requirements for PIM activities
  • Identification of opportunities to reduce integrity management cost for up to 30%
  • Better understanding of what activities of PIM work best in the field; what activities require additional efforts; and what activities are to be discontinued
  • Demonstration of the success of the program with one case study per sponsoring company
  • STEM_Risk_Pipeline™ software to facilitate various PIM activities.
