Integrated Subsea Pipeline Integrity Management using Real-time Condition Monitoring Technique

Integrated integrity management is essential for subsea pipeline failure prevention, predictive maintenance and life extension campaign. Without managing integrity adequately, the condition of subsea pipeline would continue to deteriorate until premature failure. Real-time Condition Monitoring (CM) is a sensor-based monitoring technique aimed at enhancing the productivity of pipeline operation. The main intent of condition monitoring is to assess operating conditions and performance, improve performance, aid maintenance, extend life and inform operator if the integrity is compromised. The objective of this project is to develop a concept, methodology and model for subsea pipeline integrity management and life extension using condition monitoring data through dynamic risk assessment. This study is highly relevant for INTECSEA Canada to enhance their technical capability by facilitating a cutting edge technology development for pipeline integrity management. Furthermore, the intern will establish and strengthen collaboration with INTECSEA based on the outcome and further interest from the company.
