Abstract

Pipeline structural integrity challenges high-light the need for pipeline operators to prioritise inline in-spection technologies as part of risk-based condition as-sessment. This initiative is motivated by increased regula-tory and economic constraints associated with the world-wide ageing pipeline infrastructure. Inline inspection technologies are now extensively used to detect and in-spect various anomalies and prevent unintended cata-strophic pipeline failures. This paper outlines the im-portance of inline inspection technologies to collect data for structural integrity analysis. It also considers inline inspection technology selection, including performance and deterministic methods to interpret the inline inspection data. The deterministic methods assist in determining the remaining strength and useful life.
