Pipeline Instrumentation and Pigging Operations (PIPO) Level 1

Description

Pipeline instrumentation and pigging operations are two important aspects of pipeline maintenance and operation. Pipeline instrumentation involves the use of sensors and other instruments to monitor various parameters of the pipeline, such as pressure, temperature, flow rate, and fluid composition. These instruments are used to detect any anomalies or potential issues with the pipeline, such as leaks or blockages, and to ensure that the pipeline is operating within safe and efficient limits. The data collected by these instruments can be used to optimize pipeline performance, prevent equipment failures, and reduce downtime.

Pigging operations involve the use of pipeline cleaning and inspection devices, known as “pigs,” which are inserted into the pipeline and pushed along by the fluid flow. Pigs are used to clean the pipeline of debris, such as rust, scale, and other contaminants, and to inspect the condition of the pipeline. Regular pigging operations can help to prevent blockages, reduce the risk of corrosion, and extend the lifespan of the pipeline.

Pipeline instrumentation and pigging operations are critical components of pipeline maintenance and operation. By implementing effective instrumentation and pigging programs, operators can ensure that their pipelines are operating safely, efficiently, and reliably, and minimize the risk of costly downtime, damage, and environmental harm.

Pipeline Instrumentation and Pigging Operations (PIPO) Level 1 covers Pigging Operations, Utility Pigs i.e. Foam Pigs, Solid Cast Pigs, Spherical Pigs or Spheres, Cleaning Pigs, Sealing Pigs, Mandrel Pigs etc. Inline Inspection Tools, Data needed for Inline Inspection Tools, Ultrasonic Inspection Tools, Principles & Application of Gel Pigs, Pig Stucking Issues, Challenges & Solutions, Pig Motion Engineering Analysis & Calculations and more.

Assessment

Participant underpinning knowledge of pipeline pigging operations will be accessed with short answer multiple-choice questionnaire and with real time pig motion engineering analysis & calculations to be submitted at the conclusion of the course.

Outcome

Participants will gain an in debt understanding of pipeline pigging operations. They will also be able to function with minimum supervision as a pipeline engineer or asset integrity engineer for IOCs, subsea pipeline company contractor, vendor or installation company.
