Recently, corrosion perforation has been frequently seen in surface pipelines the oil and gas industry, resulting operational environmental challenges. Due to complex characteristics mechanisms of such corrosion, a new pragmatic method designed identify evaluate phenomenon via hanging ring installed pipeline. In addition respectively analyzing ions water samples with chemical titration, ion chr...

Offshore subsea pipelines are used to export oil and gas from the field to platform and then from the platform to the mainland. As they are the sole conduit for the hydrocarbons their stability and integrity are of critical economic and environmental importance. With more than 80 per cent of Australia’s gas resources in deep, remote, offshore areas, the ability to realise their full potential r...

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) as a Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) method is used to identify basic causes leading to an undesired event, to represent logical relation of these basic causes in leading to the event, and finally to calculate the probability of occurrence of this event. To conduct a quantitative FTA, one needs a fault tree along with failure data of the Basic Events (BEs). Someti...

Due to their exceptional structural integrity, steel pipelines are the main component for oil and gas transmission. However, these often affected by corrosion, despite corrosion protection, because of harsh working conditions. In addition defects, subjected multiple external loads. The combination defects loads can significantly reduce failure pressure, resulting in various behaviors. This redu...
