Main Objective
This research and development project assessed the integrity of aging offshore pipeline systems by testing and validating the performance of "smart pigs" as tools to determine pipeline conditions on a number of abandoned offshore pipelines, field testing the pipelines to failure, and then comparing the failures with assessment models for predicting condition/failure.
Public Abstract
This research and development project assessed the integrity of aging offshore pipeline systems by testing and validating the performance of "smart pigs" as tools to determine pipeline conditions on a number of abandoned offshore pipelines, field testing the pipelines to failure, and then comparing the failures with assessment models for predicting condition/failure. The models that were validated through this assessment with the failures include the ASME B31.G, R-Streng and DNV RP501 models for pipelines along with other models identified by JIP participants.
