This pipeline technical day focuses on the current practices that provide cost effective ways of managing pipeline integrity, pipeline technology advancement but with simplicity and minimum functional specifications to lower overall pipeline development costs
Synopsis
For the oil and gas industry, pipelines are the cheapest and safest way of transporting hydrocarbons. The current state of low oil and gas prices forces industry practitioners at all levels to rethink the way they typically carry out engineering and operational activities on both brownfield and greenfield developments
On new field developments, lower costs are critical in ensuring the project financing. Subsea pipelines will be allocated a significant part of the total project budget. New concepts and innovative solutions are required to reduce the costs whilst maintaining the same operational and safety requirements.
On existing pipeline infrastructures, operators need to take a hard look at how they manage their operations to reduce costs and drive sustained profitability. Pipeline asset integrity management is crucial to ensure safe operation throughout the design life, however, due to cost cutting pressures, regular inspections and maintenance can be postponed or neglected.
This technical symposium focuses on the current practices that provide cost effective ways of managing pipeline integrity, on current technology advancement, simplicity and minimum functional specifications to lower overall pipeline development costs.
