C2024-21193 Cost-Effective Optimization Of Midstream Pipeline Corrosion Management With Advanced Technologies

Pankaj Tandon - Midstream pipeline integrity teams face ongoing challenges due to corrosion and deteriorating conditions, which can impact transmission infrastructure reliability. Adhering to regulations and maintaining operational continuity requires operators to adopt advanced technologies to maximize outcomes.This paper highlights the application of Praemia™ Inc. software as a robust tool for planning and monitoring integrity management activities, more specifically threats such as internal and external corrosion and SCC. The software utilizes powerful analytics to incorporate threat-specific assessment and risk analysis, focusing on optimizing budgeting and prioritizing mitigation measures, evaluating repair vs. replace options and ultimately enhancing decision-making.Additionally, the paper showcases the practical implementation of AI technologies in midstream pipeline corrosion management. Real-world examples and case studies illustrate the benefits of technology-driven sol
