Dear Participants,

I rejoice to invite you and extremely grateful to all of you for your help, co-operation and support

brought to ICEPIM-2016 into its 2nd year. After successful organization of the ICEPIM 2015, we are

getting together to enjoy the deliberation of ICEPIM 2016.

Pipelines are the most effective and efficient way of distribution of fuels such as oil, gas and water.

The need of pipelines for transportation of crude and the finished products to refineries and various

terminals and installations has increased manifolds, further the discovery of natural gas has

created vast demand for pipelines as these are used for their transportation all over the country.

However there are extreme challenges faced by the designers and consultants in designing the

pipelines, because theses pipelines have to be in service for more than 30 to 50 years. This is

because pipelines pas through various corrosive environments exposed to the harsh weathers,

buried in soils etc. in order to protect these pipelines from corrosion, coating play a very significant

role. The paint technologists face challenges in formulating the coatings that are long lasting

and protecting the pipe surface from corrosion. It is not only the external surface that needs the

corrosion protection but also the internal surface that carries the product.

So, looking to the wide terrain of pipeline, across the country’s landscape, we endeavored to

address a wide spectrum of pipelines from construction to threat for a safe operation and designed

sessions to justify Pipeline Integrity Management such as from Planning, Design and Construction

of pipeline, Corrosion & its Control Techniques, Inspection Techniques, Repair & Rehabilitation of

Aging Pipelines, Safety and Reliability Management, Challenges and even the Development in

Pipeline & City Gas Distribution.

We are happy that it could attract the attention of pipeline engineers, designers and various

specialists to dwell upon the trends in pilferage prevention and detection domain.

Keeping in view, all the various challenges faced by the pipeline industries, we are presenting you

with the feast of technical information in this ICEPIM 2016.

Exhibitors had also show-cased their services and product to peep into the upcoming new

technologies to see the dawn of technological support available.

I am thankful to all the sponsors for their timely support and co-operation not only financially but

also technically.

Looking forward to seeing you at the Hotel The Grand and wishing you a fruitful conference,

I remain.

Welcome Message Welcome Message

Dr. Kumar greeted all the respected senior people on the dais and also congratulated the technical

and the organizing committee for hosting the 2nd International Conference on Pipeline Integrity

Management (ICEPIM 2016). He told …..

“The technical program is well designed and balanced to cover various important aspects of Pipeline

Integrity. A very relevant topic, the ageing pipeline is also covered in one of the sessions. Pipeline

is the most environment friendly transportation system, however, it may create havoc damages to

the environment in case they are not maintained property and integrity not maintained.

Pipeline pigging is one of the most important inspection tool to assess pipeline integrity. Indian

Oil Corp is the only company in India, who develops intelligent pigs on their own. The growth in

the capex of pipeline is projected to be growing at 14%, in spite of crash in the crude price. Pipeline

integrity is very much important and starts from the design & execution stage, and needs to be

maintained during its operation in service. Major accidents have occurred in various pipelines in

the world, including recent mishaps at Kakinada in India, which is responsible for the huge loss of

assets and life.

Pipeline reliability is very important to maintain sustainability of the pipeline and optimization of the

pipeline operation. At the design stage, importance of material selection, developments in the new

materials, minimizing corrosion with various corrosion protection systems like inhibitor, coating

etc. and also maintenance aspects are very important to maintain pipeline integrity. Maintenance

aspects are also very important in Pipeline Integrity apart from the design.

Major emphasis needs to be provided to the available database and its management, various sensor

technology/ instruments and analytics need to exploit. Sensors and instruments minimizes the

possibility of human error. Technology is the biggest driving force to maintain Pipeline Integrity.

To implement Pipeline Integrity, commitment of the management is essential, which will percolate

down to the operators and to the lowest level. This conference will provide the right platform to

discuss above issues, share information about various technologies, provides a guideline which

needs to be followed to maintain Integrity, Reliability and Safety of the Pipeline. It is my trust

and belief that the ideas exchanged and deliberated will go a long way in moving towards our

goal of developing safer and more efficient pipeline infrastructure with reduced life cycle costs

across the industry.”

He thanked the organizers that they had taken this important topic at the right time, in the right

spirit. Being a part of the 2nd ICEPIM, he wished that the same should be continued every year

successfully.

Technical SessionsAssessment of Likelihood AC Corrosion & Its Mitigation –A Potential Threat to Pipeline Integrity

Mr. Aashis Moyal, Sr. Design Engineer(Elect.), MECON LimitedMr. L. M. Aggarwal, Jt. GM (Elect.), MECON Limited

Buried Gas/product pipelines are subject to AC (Alternating Current) corrosion risk which is increasing as large number of pipelines are being installed in proximity to overhead high-voltage AC power transmission lines and/or AC-powered rail transit systems and in city areas. The pipelines can suffer AC corrosion despite satisfying the conventional CP (Cathodic Protection) criteria based on P-S-P (pipe-to-soil potential) which mandate a protection potential of -0.85

V-CSE (Copper Sulphate Electrode) and AC EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference) criteria of 15V as specified in NACE SP: 0177-2014.It has been found that AC corrosion largely depends on surrounding soil resistivity & its chemistry, induced AC voltage and size of fault which has also been verified in various EMI studies & research. AC mitigation methodology

has proven to be satisfactory through field tests conducted on pipelines buried in proximity to overhead high-voltage AC power transmission lines and in AC interference prone area.This paper elaborates a case study conducted on pipeline which revealed the effect of soil resistivity on the AC corrosion. The most important outcome from this investigation was that AC-corrosion can grow even at AC voltage level less than criteria mentioned (15V). The paper also details important factors leading to AC Corrosion, evaluation of A. C. Corrosion risk and methods to mitigate the same.

Trends in pilferage prevention and detectionMr. Brett Crawford, Business Development Manager, Atmos International

Over the past two or three years Atmos International Ltd (Atmos) has received, from all around the world, a significant increase in the number of requests for help following the discovery of theft events on their pipelines. It has become common in areas not previously considered at risk e.g. Western Europe. At first pipeline operators were reluctant to accept these events were not isolated one off events. Unfortunately persistent criminal activity has become the norm.This presentation will describe the global environment, the impact of theft events and how Atmos

has responded. Atmos has expended much effort and resource into improving its existing technologies. Atmos researched and developed new ways of applying that technology and created new rapid deployment solutions that consist of hardware, software and services. These solutions have been very successful at detecting and locating thefts. After being applied these solutions have led to the detection of 21 taps and the arrest of 18 people in the UK alone during 2015/2016.The presentation will illustrate the contribution the pipeline operator can make. The presentation will stress this is a team event with the pipeline operator and Atmos both being important members of that team. This not is something the pipeline operator can throw over the wall with a message saying fix that!The presentation will look at some specific cases and show the results achieved.Theft events will continue unabated. Criminals will continue to research and develop ways to be one step ahead of the pipeline operators. Atmos will continue to research and develop ways to be one step ahead of the criminals.

Multilayer PP Coatings for Deepwater Oil and Gas Pipelines Mr. Chanchal Dasgupta, Application Marketing Manager (Pipe), Borouge (India) Pvt Ltd, Mumbai, India

Three Layer Polyethylene (3LPE) coating for onshore pipelines have been used in India since the early 1980’s and have reached a level of maturity. Offshore pipelines in India are rather limited except for KG D6 and Bombay High projects. But with the easily accessible sources of oil

and gas becoming depleted, most countries including India are looking for offshore and deep water explorations.The challenges in deep water offshore pipelines are high thermal insulation requirements, high water head pressure, damage possibilities from ships, time pressure due to expensive lay barges and a high cost of repair. This paper reviews the multilayer polypropylene (PP) coating materials and systems available for high temperature applications, (up to +140°C for subsea thermal insulation and upto 110°C onshore).Multilayer PP Coating including 5 layer and 7 layer structures involving PP foam and / or Syntactic foam have a long track record in North Sea, Gulf of Mexico and offshore of Brazil. Good markets are also emerging in South East Asia and China.This paper also provides a glimpse of some of the PP materials that go into multilayer PP line pipe coating and field joint coating and some of the new developments in PP coating to handle extremely low temperatures.

Pipeline Coatings – Cathodic Disbondment & Shielding

Mr. K. B. Singh, Coatings & CP Consultant,Seal For Life India Pvt. Ltd.

Coatings are applied on buried and immersed metal pipelines in order to minimize the risk of corrosion. Since perfect coatings do not exist, cathodic protection is often installed to act as a backup for coating imperfections.

However, in some situations cathodic protection is unable to provide this backup, especially with initially unbound or disbonded coatings that have high electrical insulation resistance like polymeric types. In general, cathodic protection is only effective when the current density at the steel substrate meets certain requirements, and this is not different for areas where disbondment of coating has occurred. Literature studies and experiments revealed that the void dimensions and conductivity of the soil-electrolyte are critical parameters that define whether or not cathodic protection is effective underneath disbonded coatings.

Energy Management System as per ISO 50001:2011 in HPCL cross country pipeline Operations

Mr. K. S. L. Satya Narayana, Chief Manager-Technical Services, HPCL-Pipelines Department

In any cross country pipeline, expenditure towards energy consumption constitutes 50% of the total operating expenses as the cross country pipelines employ high energy consuming motors at all pumping stations.

HPCL is operating approx.. 2400 km long cross country pipelines all over India. The cost of energy consumption is approx. Rs. 85 crores per year against total Opex of Rs.160 crores for HPCL operating pipelines.Above introduction explains the highest degree of need for implementation of an effective Energy Management System (EnMS) for optimizing the energy consumption for improving overall profitability in pipeline operations. This paper discusses about the EnMS-ISO 50001-2011 implementation process at Visakh-Vijayawda-Secunderabad pipeline (VVSPL) and the continual benefits being derived out the system implementation.

3130 Adjustment method for providing a minimum and Reliable inspection program applied to pipelines Where corrosion type anomalies have been Detected and compared by a reliability analysis*

Mr. Leonardo Espinosa Cortes, Senior Consultant in Pipelines – CORPORACIÓN MEXICANA DE INVESTIGACIÓN EN MATERIALES, S.A. DE C.V.Mr. Hildeberto Arriaga Contreras, Project Leader of Pipelines - CORPORACIÓN MEXICANA DE INVESTIGACIÓN EN MATERIALES, S.A. DE C.V.* Not able to attend.

In order to know the structural conditions of the pipelines that transport oil and gas products, either direct and internal inspections are chosen, the latter supported by instrumented equipment

to know the anomalies present in the pipeline and carry out the assessment of such anomalies, in order to define the preventive and mitigation activities based on the results of its mechanical integrity.According to the results obtained during the internal inspection, a great quantity of anomalies can be detected which sometimes have not been characterized and sized, and in critical cases data that could generate doubt of the severity of the anomalies is obtained and it is necessary to create an inspection program to determine the degree of severity, location and sizing, which in most cases are usually a large number of inspections to be performed and it will affect the costs of the these activities.

Evolution of Pipeline Corrosion Management in Deepwater Field

Mr. S. Ravikiran Singh, Subsea Integrity Engineer, Reliance Industries Ltd.

Indian deep water off shore industry being in nascent stages, it is an evolution phase for deep water Pipeline Integrity management and Corrosion management for the Indian industry. Inspection, Maintenance & Repair activities in Deepwater Fields are not only difficult and time consuming but also exorbitantly expensive as the success of these, is governed by several factors viz. weather, vessel, technology and expertise. It is imperative that operator shall focus on these IMR activities and likely corrosion mechanisms during design & detail engineering stage itself so as to allow

minimum and planned deep water interventions; also Monitoring becomes critical for the above reasons.Surveillance of systems/operations integrity, Corrosion mechanisms and measurement methodologies is important to ensure Pipeline Integrity by which field can produce safely, reliably, meets customer demand and fulfills stake holder’s objectives for the design life of the field.This paper discusses,development of Deepwater Pipeline Corrosion Management system and methodologies adopted for Prevention (Corrosion Inhibitor injection) and Monitoring (installed monitors, process analysis, Inspections, theoretical corrosion estimation methodologies and measurements) for both external and internal corrosion.During Prevention phase Process parameters, flow rates, P&Ts and likely corrosion mechanisms have been considered during pipeline design. Corrosion inhibitor injection and management philosophy has been developed and implemented.For monitoring of external corrosion, methods adopted are general visual inspections (Coating damage / CP monitoring and anode consumption etc.) with remote operated vehicles (ROVs); CP FG (Field gradient) survey with ROVs, Vibration monitoring Tool, CYGNUS UT measurement gauge and diver inspection etc.For monitoring of internal corrosion, methods adopted are monitoring of design envelope (P, T), Process fluid (H2S, CO2, Water, pH, Fe) and in-situ monitors (Ring Pair/ Erosion/Sand monitors, Coupons on platform); development of theoretical internal corrosion estimate model (RIL-NORSOK model) and use of Production simulator system (PSS) to identify critical areas.

Use of Ultrasonic Guided Waves for over ground and underground coated piping; capabilities & limitations – A practical experience

Mr. Santanu Saha, Intertek-Inspec; UAEMr. Seghar R., Intertek-Inspec; UAE

Guided wave Ultrasonic examination of long pipelines is now used almost regularly worldwide and considered as a screening NDT tool for effective pipeline Asset Integrity Management. The technique offers the possibility of rapid screening of long lengths of pipework for corrosion and other defects. Generally, approximately a test range of 50m or more of pipe length can be examined from a single transducer position, unless conditions like buried piping, heavy coating,

and viscous fluid content, heavy corrosion etc. prevents propagation of guided waves and rapidly attenuates the sound energy. Initially, corrosion under insulation (CUI) was the major concern in the oil, gas, chemical and petro-chemical industries for which there was no suitable and cost effective way to properly detect without removing the insulation. The use of low frequency ultrasonic guided waves propagating along the pipe wall is potentially a very attractive solution to this problem. The pipe acts as a waveguide, which as a consequence aids in longer propagation of guided waves without considerable attenuation, thus rendering screening long pipe lengths in a single shot. Use of long range UT is advantageous in a number of specific situations: 1. Inspection of coated pipe by exposing a small area around the circumference of the pipe on which to fit the transducers, it is possible to inspect coated or insulated pipe without stripping the coating from the entire pipe length. 2. Inspecting high altitude pipe racks by placing a ring of transducers around an elevated pipe and using LRUT to inspect lengths of pipe removes the need to construct extensive scaffolding along the pipe to perform a full inspection. 3. Inspecting buried pipe. In some instances, over-ground pipelines intersect roads. Here, the roads are built up over the top of the pipe, and the pipe is therefore buried. LRUT inspection techniques can inspect the entire length of the pipe situated under the road without the need for excavation. However, there are some dis advantages of LRUT while inspection heavily coated pipes, buried pipes, high viscous fluids and small pipe sections, pipes having too much bends, valves sections etc. this paper discusses about our experience in performing LRUT in some pipelines with various results showing advantages and disadvantages we experienced during our study.

Using PESTLE Analysis as a tool for determining pipeline asset attractiveness in Indian Context.

Thiyagarajan S., Sr. Project Engineer, HPCL – HQO, Mumbai.

Cross country pipelines are the only efficient way of bulk transportation of petroleum products to the hinter land. Pipelines are regarded as strategic asset from supply chain point of view and play a very pivot role across the value chain of a downstream company owning pipeline assets. Currently there are 14,000 kms of multiproduct pipeline and 14,500 kms of natural gas transmission lines operational in India. But historically only 2000 kms of liquid multi product pipeline has been added in the past 5 years. OMCs are re-looking for capacity augmentation coupled with extension

of the existing networks to address the growing demand of transportation fuel. With alternate transportnot being an



3332

attractive option i.e. railways, pipeline network growth is inevitable. The introduction of common carrier concept and pipeline industry regulated under PNRGB, private participation as a transporter was not encouraging as envisaged for its inherent reasons. Firstly OMC dominates the sale of MS, HSD and SKO and secondly external environment is not so convincing for investing in a pipeline asset. Even though OMCs has tread a cautious approach, delay in approvals has led to cost and time over run. A lot of structural changes in macroeconomic environment is the need of the hour. This paper throws light on PESTLE analysis of the pipeline transportation Industry in Indian context especially with regard to investment planning. Real time experiences from ongoing projects, best practices adhered and risk assessment methodology for future projects are also being dealt with a 360º view.

Operation, Maintenance, Repair & Rehabilitation of Aging Pipelines, Life-cycle extension strategies

Mr. V. K. Khurana, Sr. Vice President, Business Development, Sanmarg Projects Pvt. Ltd.

Safety, reliability, integrity and economics of oil & gas pipelines are not only key to asset owners but are also important for economic progress of any country.Leaks, bursts, pilferages & encroachment are the inherent problems in any cross country pipeline system. During past few years, major

accidents occurred in oil & gas pipelines even after implementation of safety standards & statutory requirements. The cause of failure can be from any of the three stages of pipeline such as Design & Engineering, Construction and Operation phase.Proper maintenance and timely preventive actions can always avoid any major/minor incident. A successful strategy demands implementation of maintenance in an integrated way and implementation of change management plans to realize efficient, reliable and safer pipeline operations.

Glimpses of

Atmos Pipe

Atmos Pipe includes a theft detection module that alerts operators of theft events automatically. As the theft rate is usually below the flow meter repeatability level, the theft module is only active during pipeline shut-in operations. By monitoring changes in the pressure, even the smallest thefts are detected reliably.

Atmos Portable Data Logger

This case-based autonomous data logging solution can be rapidly deployed – either by pipeline operators’ staff, or Atmos - to collect the pressure and flow data where taps are suspected. Data can be collected on site or remotely.

Atmos Hydrostatic Tester

This portable kit takes hydrostatic testing to unprecedented levels. It uses both pressure and acoustic sensors to identify even tiny leaks or intermittent tappings, with location accuracy to 2 meters. It is ideal for where pipeline integrity testing is mandatory, and negates the need for costly yet limited options with dyed or odorized water.

Pipeline leak and theft detectionAtmos International (Atmos) has extensive experience working with pipeline owners and operators who have been targeted by criminals. We have developed a suite of sensitive, yet adaptable theft detection systems, and established a world-class team of analysts to interpret the data that they deliver.

This means Atmos is one of only a few organizations able to separate incidences of leaks from theft, to facilitate rapid response and accurate location of tapping points. This is resulting in capture, and increasingly, prosecution of pipeline thieves.

Atmos Theft Net

Atmos experts now offer a unique offline data analysis service – Atmos Theft Net. Through this service, an Atmos engineer’s ability to interpret data improves theft location down to meters, and enables clients to have highly sensitive detection equipment without the worry of false alarms - a human check of the information. This saves clients time and loss, and helps them capture criminals in action and prosecute.

Atmos Wave and Atmos Wave Flow

Atmos Wave detects and locates leaks in real-time by identifying the rarefaction wave caused by the opening or closing of a tapping valve in a pipeline.

Atmos Wave Flow is a seamlessly integrated blend of different leak detection systems, which means it is able to detect a wide variety of leak types in all operational conditions. Consequently, it is proven to deliver very high sensitivity - to 0.1% of the flow rate, high leak location accuracy, and the ability to detect theft as well as leaks within a few minutes.
