Intelligent Pigging & Mechanical Cleaning of
Offshore & Onshore Pipelines

What are the Course Goals? 

Pigging of pipelines whether it is for cleaning purposes or for defect identification/assessment is vital to ensure that the integrity and reliability of pipelines is effectively managed throughout its entire life cycle from design through to decommissioning.

Lessons learnt from previous failures emphasize that routine cleaning of pipelines at a reasonable frequency is vital to ensure the pipeline health and to avoid unlikely events of failure and subsequent hydrocarbon release.

Who is this Training Course for? 

The target audience are staff engaged in the design, construction, commissioning and operation of pipelines and associated facilities. This online training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals and will greatly benefit: 

• Pipelines Maintenance/ Inspection/Repair Engineers
• Pipelines design and construction Specialists
• Oil & Gas Operation & Production Engineers
• Corrosion, Inspection and Integrity Engineers

This PetroKnowledge online training course will utilize a variety of proven online learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, retention of the information presented. The training course is conducted online via an Advanced Virtual Learning Platform in the comfort of your choice location

Pipelines are a major asset in any Oil & Gas producer or operator. Billions of dollars are invested in designing, construction and operating pipelines network across the globe. Maintaining the pipeline health throughout its service life depends greatly on the operation and maintenance protocols employed by the experienced operators.

This Intelligent Pigging & Mechanical Cleaning of Offshore & Onshore Pipelines online training course will further consolidate the following major elements, that on the long term will ensure that the pipeline network is safely operated and extends its service life. The course with further;

• Highlight how intelligent pigging data can be correlated with other operations, monitoring and inspection dates to explain the pipeline behavior and failure code
• Explain Pipelines Integrity Management codes requirements and how routine pigging can help maintaining the integrity of the pipeline across its design cycle and beyond

Upon successful completion of the online training course participants will be able to attend and effectively manage any challenges encountered during the Intelligent Pigging and Routine Mechanical Cleaning operation of onshore & offshore pipelines.

It further enhances their capabilities to operate, troubleshoot, maintain and inspect the pipelines network through-out its entire service life to ensure its operability, maintainability and productivity and safe operation.
