In-line Inspection Operations

Overview

This is a focused 2 day course that provides detailed lectures on pig types, pigging operations, in-line inspection (ILI) technologies and inspection data. It includes examples of various pig set ups and the pig preparations required prior to running in a pipeline.

The course is structured to link pigging theory with its operational aspects and demonstrate how a typical program for a pigging project is planned and undertaken, from initial discussions through to the interpretation of inspection data reports and feature location.  

Attendees will be introduced to an independent view of different technologies and technology providers.

Course Objectives
