Their use has been increasing rapidly due to their proven benefits, expanding capabilities, and legislative requirements. The result of an intelligent pig inspection is an inspection report with a list of defects. To gain the full benefit from an inspection the pipeline operator must understand the inspection process, and what the list of defects means for the immediate and the future integrity of the pipeline. 1.1 The Inspection Process Running an intelligent pig in a pipeline is a significant project with potential safety and operational implications. Any pigging operation should be carefully planned to ensure that the correct tool is used, that appropriate pipeline cleaning is carried out, the pig will not get stuck, contingency measures are in place to locate and remove a stuck pig, and that safe procedures for pig launch, receive, and handling are followed. Guidance on managing an intelligent pig inspection is available[6]. 1.2 Assessing Defects There are a number of recognised defect-acceptance (or ‘fitness-for-purpose’) methods available for assessing these defects (for example ASME B31G, and API 579), but these methods are simply calculation methodologies; there are many issues related to the input data and the engineering assessment that also need to be resolved in order to have a full understanding of the pipeline condition.

  • Pigging World Pipelines Asked a Number of Companies to Discuss Some Issues Regarding Pigging for Oil and & Gas Midstream Pipelines
    Pigging World Pipelines asked a number of companies to discuss some issues regarding pigging for oil and & gas midstream pipelines. Those asked were: ANDY BAIN, Chief Operating Officer, NDT Global Bain has recently celebrated his 25th anniversary in the ILI industry. Bain entered into the ILI industry after serving in the British Royal Navy for 10 years. Bain began working in the sector with British Gas, working in all facets of ILI, from field operations, project and operations management, to developing and leading new product development. While working as an ILI consultant, he worked with major operators in oil and gas. During this period, a project of particular significance saw Bain help deliver inspection solutions for deep subsea systems. He joined NDT Global in 2016 and is responsible for the group’s business operations globally. SEAN TUCKER, Subsea Pipeline and Pigging Engineer, Jee Ltd Tucker joined Jee Ltd in 2012 after graduating from Brunel University in London with a MEng in Civil Engineering with Sustainability. Since then, he has been heavily involved in pigging projects in the North Sea, Angola and Trinidad and Tobago, providing feasibility studies, pipeline piggability assessments and assurance documentation, tool selection, stuck pig guidance and contingency plans, and onshore support and onsite management (focal point) of offshore pigging and plugging operations. Tucker’s experience includes challenging and complex operations using tethered crawlers, bidirectional inspection tools and pipeline isolation tools in addition to more conventional pigging operations. DAN REVELLE, Vice President, Western Hemisphere Inspection, Quest Integrity Revelle oversees the inspection and condition assessment of pipelines, process piping and fired heaters for Quest Integrity in North and South America.

  • Australian Historians Networking, 1914–1973 Geoffrey Bolton1
    10 Australian Historians Networking, 1914–1973 Geoffrey Bolton1 TheOxford English Dictionary defines networking as ‘the action or process of making use of a network of people for the exchange of information, etc., or for professional or other advantage’.2 Although recently prominent in management theory, the art of networking has been practised over many centuries in many societies, but its role in the Australian academic community has been little explored. This essay represents a preliminary excursion into the field, raising questions that more systematic researchers may follow in time, and drawing unashamedly on the resources of the Australian Dictionary of Biography. Beginning on the eve of the First World War, the essay is bounded by the formation of the Australian Historical Association in 1973, at which date the profession provided itself with 1 This essay is a lightly edited version of the paper prepared by Geoffrey Bolton for the ‘Workshop on Biographies and Autobiographies of Historians’ held at The Australian National University in July 2015. Professor Bolton had intended to make further revisions, which included adding some analysis of the social origins of the Australian historians who participated in the networks he had defined. In all essential respects, however, we believe that the essay as presented here would have met with his approval, and we are very grateful to Carol Bolton for giving permission to make the modest editorial changes that we have incorporated. For biographical information and insights, see Stuart Macintyre, Lenore Layman and Jenny Gregory, eds, A Historian for all Seasons: Essays for Geoffrey Bolton (Melbourne: Monash University Publishing, 2017).

    The ultimate guide to UNPIGGABLE PIPELINES SUPPORTERS PUBLISHED BY Contents 2 4 6 8 Editor’sThe letter ultimate guide to3 What is an unpiggable pipeline? 4 Why is it important that pipelines are maintained? 5 The Ultimate Guide to Unpiggable Pipelines ToolUNPIGGABLE matrix 6 Case study 1: extending the lifespan of unpiggable pipelines 8 Case study 2: in-line inspection in a low flow/low pressure situation 10 Company profiles 12 FrequentlyPIPELINES Asked Questions 14 Checklist for unpiggable tools 15 About the publishers 16 SUPPORTERS PUBLISHED BY Editor’s letter 3 t the 2013 Unpiggable Pipeline Solutions Forum, recently held in Houston, semantics had a surprising relevance as the debate moved towards dropping the word ‘unpiggable’, and Areplacing it with ‘challenging’, ‘difficult-to-inspect’, ‘not-easily-piggable’, and similar epithets. Those who might be considered the traditionalists won the day, however, and the consensus view supported continued use of the original adjective. While this might seem a trivial issue, the fact that there was any sort of debate about how to describe such pipelines is significant, as it demonstrates how far the inspection industry has moved in recent years. With internal-inspection technologies ranging from free-swimming tools, tethered tools, and robotic tools, to a number of external-inspection solutions, the inspection industry has at least 16 separate techniques available to suit both onshore and offshore applications, as can be seen summarised in this e-guide. Using one or more of these options means that almost all pipelines previously considered as unpiggable can be inspected with a degree of accuracy commensurate with that of piggable lines.

Friends in Crisis: Anzacs and Hellenism Abstract Across numerous conflicts in the first half of the 20th century, Aus- tralians and New Zealanders were at the side of Hellenism: World War One, the Asia Minor Campaign (1919-1922), and the relief efforts after the Hel- lenic, Armenian and Assyrian Genocides. Beyond their battlefield record, these Anzacs and others from the Antipodes provided substantial practical and moral support for a people going through successive major crises. 2014 marked the Centenary of the outbreak of World War One, and the commencement of four years of commemorative activity to mark a se- ries of centenaries related to Australia and the Great War. Across numerous conflicts in the first half of the 20th century, Australians and New Zealand- ers were at the side of Hellenism: World War One, the Asia Minor Campaign (1919-1922), and the relief efforts after the Hellenic, Armenian and As- syrian Genocides. Beyond their battlefield record, these Anzacs and others from the Antipodes provided substantial practical and moral support for a people going through successive major crises. The crises that conflict trig- gered within Hellenism present some stark parallels with the Crisis within the Hellenic Republic since 2010, and some lessons unlearned. With a pro-British elected Prime Minister (Eleutherios Venizelos) and a pro-German monarch (King Konstantinos), the Hellenic Kingdom spent the years of World War One mired in a deep political and social crisis, 210 211 Diamadis Diamadis following the triumphs of the Balkans Wars of October 1912-February Relief committees sprang up all over the world.
