A proven foundation for quality integrity (SMS) pipeline integrity management programs
1994 - 2024
Production Gathering
Transporting oil, water, and gas from the upstream well-field can impact the internal corrosion hazard profile. Implementing appropriate mitigation strategies can prevent corrosion initiation and growth of pre-existing corrosion damage.
QIC Assess / CMP-IC deliverable has been proven to eliminate failures in high failure-frequency production regions with 45 - 60% reduction in direct integrity management costs.
Wet-Gas Midstream
Internal corrosion associated with transportation of wet-gas downstream of processing and compressor station facilities is the leading cause of pipeline failure events.
QIC Assess / CMP-IC provides effective mitigation guidance to prevent corrosion initiation and growth of pre-existing corrosion defects caused by stagnant water traps and accelerated top-of-line corrosion failures attributed to over-injection of methanol.
Non-Conforming Sales Gas
QIC Assess considers that gas transmission pipeline systems are vulnerable to internal corrosion attributed to episodes of over-life non-conforming upset conditions. Non-Conforming operations contributes to wet-gas and corrosive fugitive fluid delivery into the normally dry-gas pipeline infrastructure which triggers unexpected internal corrosion failure events, and unexpected failure events.
NGL / Crude Oil
Although steady-state transport of crude oil and NGL should not trigger an integrity concern, internal corrosion failures represent the #1 cause of pipeline failures, at an increasing rate of failure.
QIC Assess recognizes internal corrosion activity is associated with episodes of fugitive biomass / debris / sludge ingress from upstream storage / pumping facilities.
CMP-IC plans identify and trigger an appropriate response to upset conditions.
Refined Products
As with crude oil / NGL steady-state transport of refined products should not trigger an integrity concern.
Nonetheless, internal corrosion failures represent the #1 cause of pipeline failures, at an increasing rate of failure.
All internal corrosion activity is associated with episodes of fugitive biomass / debris / sludge ingress from upstream storage / pumping facilities.
QIC Assess / CMP-IC recommend response to upsets.
