Remaining life assessment

Applying reliable corrosion growth rates over time leads to estimates of future condition that can be used with the same fitness for purpose methodologies to assess the future economic life of the pipeline. Improved insight into pipeline maintenance and repair needs is the best basis for cost optimization and investment planning. Additionally, it reduces the likelihood of unwanted events.

RLI objectives

  • Assess the future economical life of the pipeline
  • Improve insight into pipeline maintenance and repair needs

How do we do that

  • Applying GCR over time leads to estimates of future condition
  • Calculating future Psafe and ERF values
  • Estimating repair requirements over time

Psafe and ERF outlook

Number of Critical anomalies per year

Number of Critical anomalies per year

Advantages

  • Reliable understanding of the pipeline's economical life
  • Basis for cost optimization and investment planning
  • Reduced likelihood of unwanted events
