PIPELINE MANAGEMENT ON OFFSHORE AND ONSHORE

by

Abstract

The pursuit for energy has taken human beings to new frontiers, thus, it also demands a greater care in order to survive on those frontiers. Offshore and Onshore pipeline projects demand immense maintenance due to the cost associated with it. This research intends to focus on cultuivating a nomenclature which can reduce the risk of corrosion in both onshore and offshore projects. As corrosion tends to be rendered as the biggest risks not only for the industry itself but also for the financers. In order to intricate this problem, Risked Based Integrating Modeling is seen as a aoultion to limit the degradation process. As degradation process will be limited, the durability of the project inucalting the pipelines will start to meet its objectives. In order to meet the pretext of the research, the research inculcates the phenomenological research approach. As it will help to extract the insights which tends to be in direct line with the obnjectives of the research. Plus, the help of secondary sources will also be taken in order to decipher the progress made so far, in the context of the research.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

This chapter of the research tends to develop an understanding and identify the reasons for conducting a research onto the identified topic. However, in the context of this paper this chapter would inculcate the notions related to Offshore and Onshore pipeline management. The nomenclature of this chapter tends to stand on the bricks of background of the research, Significance of Research, research questions, structure of the study and ethical concerns.

Background of Research

Offshore and Onshore pipeline management has emerged as the new area of study in the recent past. The scope of pipeline management has broadened in the recent past, and is now rendered as the specialized area. Pipeline management is an area of concern, which tends to incorporate different attached notions into its nomenclature. The most important area in pipeline management irrespective of onshore or offshore is rendered by many experts as corrosion. Moreover, different structures involving pipelines tends to undergo variety of operational stresses and aging related degradation mechanisms which will affect the overall system life, safety and efficiency. Therefore, in onshore and offshore projects, a probabilistic approach to minimize the life-cycle cost of inspection and refurbishment of engineering components in large infrastructure systems tends to be part of the system. However, as the area of study has evolved it now tends to include, different management models rendered as risk management models to deal with the onshore and offshore projects (Brimberg et al 2003, pp.237).

The objective of a risk based inspection management is to ensure and maintain the required confidence in the pipelines integrity and hence maximize its operating ...
