Exec. Summary: Commodity releases can have catastrophic consequences, so ensuring pipeline integrity is essential for pipeline operators.
Pipeline integrity is not just about preventing incidents, but also having holistic approach to the prevention, detection, and mitigation of commodities.
This lecture talks about the smart & advanced technologies that enable greater pipeline integrity to identify anomalies before they could lead to catastrophic failures.
Introduction: Growing nations uncover new projects hence the demand increases for more pipeline development.
However, pipeline operators are under severe financial and social pressure to avoid incidents that cause commodity releases.
This means that safe practices must be enforced and that industrial-strength prevention, detection, and mitigation technologies need to be deployed.
Regulators are scrutinizing pipeline projects, and the reputation of the industry as a whole is at risk.
“Pipeline integrity” is a term that encompasses a lot of these technologies.
