and lasting longer

Worldwide energy demand is projected to increase more than 50% by the year 2030. Onshore pipelines are crucial in meeting this demand. The pipeline infrastructure is expected to grow at 7% per year through 2020, with 231,900 km of oil and gas pipelines already planned or under construction. Meanwhile, the world’s 3.5 million km of existing oil and gas transmission pipelines must continue to operate, often beyond their original design lives. To meet expectations, the industry must ensure safer operations, extended asset life and a reliable energy supply.

DNV Energy and CC Technologies, Inc. have combined to become a world leader in the onshore pipeline service market. As a com-prehensive service provider and technology partner for our customers, we are committed to excellence. Our services combine software solutions with our unique approach to sci-ence and engineering.

operator’s challenge

In a competitive market with increasing regu-latory and public attention toward safety, environmental issues and security of supply, being a best-in-class operator has become increasingly important. Yet pipeline opera-tors also need to balance performance requirements, cost effective solutions and contractual obligations, while managing an aging asset.

DNV provides a full suite of services, including pipeline integrity management, operation risk management, regulatory compliance, operabil-

ity review and Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) risk management.

assessing operability

DNV has developed the ‘Pipeline Systems Operability Review’ (PLOR), to assist opera-tors in maximising pipeline performance. This tool evaluates technical and manage-ment systems, with respect to industry best practices and international technical stand-ards. PLOR focuses on safety, environment and production availability, from design to decommissioning and goes beyond code compliance. It uses risk assessment to high-light issues that really matter and to identify appropriate mitigating measures. PLOR is unique in that it is built from the bottom up, beginning with detailed technical tasks and ending with management control systems.

serViCes OVerVieW

dnV assists in every aspect of pipeline management.

Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) decided to improve its risk assessment and hazard man-agement systems, given that more than 50% of its pipeline network was over 30 years old, with many lines traversing residential and cor-rosive terrains. The project objective was to increase the integrity, reliability and safety of KOC’s crude, gas, fuel, condensate and brack-ish water pipeline networks.

DNV performed process oriented qualitative and quantitative risk assessments. We also identified all significant hazards that contrib-uted to the likelihood of a failure and the potential impacts of those events. A further study was completed to identify possible

areas for streamlining KOC’s pipeline net-works to meet current and future produc-tion demands.

The broad scope required for this project could only be accomplished by a service pro-vider with multidisciplinary expertise, span-ning all aspects of risk management and pipeline operations. This included Quantitative risk Assessment (QrA), she risk manage-ment, consequence analysis, risk Based inspection (rBi), pipeline operations issues, pipeline recommended practices, failure fre-quencies, threat identification, degradation mechanisms, direct assessment methodolo-gies and software solutions.

Singapore Xu

Our researchers at these facilities work closely with the DNV engineering support staff to provide our customers with both engineering solutions based on fundamental science, as well as research solutions balanced by sound engineering practice.

Forensic engineering

Our expert staff is ready to respond when emergencies happen. Our advanced laboratory testing and root cause failure investigations explain how and why components fail. Our investigators have access to cutting edge micro-scopy and modeling tools for solving metallur-gical, mechanical, structural, thermal, electro-chemical, and multiphase flow problems.

research and deVelopMent

We offer full-scale multiphase flow testing at our Dublin, Ohio and Bergen facilities. The multiphase flow system can be customised to study flow patterns, evaluate the effect of flow on corrosion and inhibitors, and drag reducing agents. We also offer facilities for pipe burst testing.

DNV’s subsidiary CC Technologies has histori-cally been a pioneer in research on monitoring buried pipelines. We are currently leading sen-sor development for monitoring internal cor-rosion threats. In the past, we have pioneered the direct assessment methodology for prioritis-ing maintenance digs. We were also instrumen-tal in writing the NACE standards and validat-ing the direct assessment methodologies for external, internal, and SCC threats.

DNV leads the industry in research regarding the effects of alternative fuels on pipelines. Currently, we are determining the require-ments for transporting ethanol via existing pipeline, tank and terminal systems.

Staying ahead of the problemThere are 3.5 million kilometers of oil and gas transmission pipelines. With this infrastructure aging and the demand for oil increasing, it is important to stay ahead of corrosion and material degradation problems. DNV’s experts help you accomplish this.

COrrOsiON AND MATeriAls TeChNOlOGy

aging pipelines require proactive corrosion

management.

The TransCanada pipeline is a 14,500 km sys-tem that was installed in phases, beginning in the late 1950s. state-of-the-art coating sys-tems were used to protect the pipeline at each stage of construction. however, aging and deterioration, along with a variance in soil types and coating protection methods required increased cathodic protection and different cathodic protection methods. This increased the cost of the corrosion remediation programme and created a risk of damage to newer, better quality coatings on parallel lines.

CC Technologies, a DNV company, helped TransCanada evaluate the integrity of the sys-tem, prioritise areas for recoating and initiate

a new corrosion remediation programme. CCT/DNV provided an advanced in-line inspection programme, cathodic protection data and corrosion feature data. We also completed an economic analysis that priori-tised piping sections.

After laboratory evaluation and testing, the recoating programme was applied to more than 42 km of piping at a cost of $600,000 UsD per mile, substantially less than the $1.1 million UsD cost of replacement. The recoating programme also created a more cost-effective and reliable integrity management programme while preserving the assets of the TransCanada pipeline.

ili analysis

In-line inspection (ILI) is one of three com-monly accepted condition assessment meth-odologies. We provide expertise in all condi-tion assessment methods and have pioneered both direct assessment methodologies and multiple statistical approaches to ILI data analysis.

ILI produces a tremendous amount of data, which if analysed improperly, can overstate the integrity of the pipeline or result in unnecessary dig programmes. Using state-of-the-art tools, DNVs staff experts create a complete and accurate analysis that provides you with vital information on the risks and remaining life of your system.

DNV has expertise in all corrosion and mate-rial integrity threats, including internal and external corrosion, SCC, fatigue, hydrogen embrittlement, seam weld crack defects, mechanical damage and hard spots.
