Britannia Oil provides customer specific solutions for all of the key applications in Asset Integrity Management. The primary objective of any integrity management program is to maintain the asset in a fitness-for-purpose condition while extending the remaining life in the most reliable, safe and cost-effective manner.
We have defined an all-encompassing range of services for the provision of Asset and Pipeline Integrity Management for extending the safe remaining life of ageing pipelines and associated plants.
Our services will include the following:
We provide an effective system database for Pipeline
Integrity Management which includes:
The aim is to reduce risk exposure by focusing mitigation activities (Inspection, Maintenance and Repair (IMR)) on the areas of highest risk. The Risk Management is based on three main components which are based on both code guidance and industry best practices:
Quantification of relative risk values for different threats in defined pipeline segments
Identification of active and impending threats
Identify the primary threats to pipeline integrity
Rank pipelines in terms of risk (probability of failure
and consequences)
Optimise inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR)
activities, i.e. defining the appropriate maintenance
needs and activities
Define an appropriate frequency for maintenance activities
Verifying and updating the results of the initial risk assessment
Mitigation of active and impending threats according to best industry practices in order to achieve an acceptable risk as efficiently as possible
Integrity Assessment consists of three main components supporting such decisions:
Review of the pipeline’s design, construction and operational history
Damage categorization according to size and pipeline operating conditions
Assessment of whether further inspection is required (e.g. for more accurate sizing or crack detection at the bottom of gouges)
Assessment of whether immediate pressure reductions are necessary to avoid the possibility of time-related failure and to avoid stress-related failure while the pipe is being inspected or repaired
Use of results as a basis for repair analysis, remediation assessment or more advanced integrity analysis
Determination of corrosion growth rates
Optimise future investigations, maintenance and repair activities
A review of the pipeline’s design, construction and operational history
Categorization of the damage according to size and pipeline operating conditions using guidance from standards such as ASME B31
Assessment of the necessity to conduct further inspection (e.g. for more accurate sizing or crack detection at the bottom of gouges)
Assessment of the necessity of immediate pressure reductions to avoid the possibility of time-related failure and to avoid stress-related failure while the pipe is being inspected or repaired
Detailed defect assessment, if required
Determination of how long it would take for feature to grow to a critical size based on detailed growth analysis
Determination of the necessity to repair damage and the point in time when repair works should be carried out
Provision of guidance on the most cost-effective repair programme for damaged pipelines
We use a collection of interoperable software tools for maintaining pipelines in a reliable, safe and cost-effective condition. This allows operators to visualize, explore, and analyse complex information, systems and processes.
