In-Line Inspection Operations

Overview

“This course has been designed to provide attendees with the skills and knowledge required for practical ILI pigging operations in a pipeline. This is a 3 days course focused on the importance of In-Line Inspection, preparation of ILI – pigging, pig types, pigging operations, line proving, in-line inspection (ILI) technologies available in the industry, POF standards and short review on inspection data and reports. It includes examples of various ILI reports and the ILI preparations required prior to running in a pipeline. The attendees will also be covered on the risk factors, the importance of pipeline questionnaire, the site surveys and parameters to be considered when running in liquid, gas or multiphase pipelines.

The course is structured to link ILI theory with its operational aspects and demonstrate how a typical program for a ILI pigging project planned from initial phases to the interpretation of inspection data reports, defect assessments (feature location) finally Fitness-For-Purpose.

Attendees will be introduced to an independent view of different technologies and advantages/limitations plus factors contributing to
(1) risk of ILI stuck pig
(2) ILI data degradation
(3) ILI failed run
