Abstract
Pipelines represent a large capital cost for oil organizations; therefore, corrosion failures have significant economic impact with several cost components, particularly repair and loss of transportation capacity. Corrosion is a growing cause of failure of pipelines due to aging which accompanied by a high level of uncertainty. Therefore, corrosion analysis becomes a very complex task and the methods introduced don’t offer robust information to management of pipeline integrity. This thesis presents a simple routine to monitor and assess corrosion defects and their risk in pipelines based on control charts and simple statistical analysis. A real life case study is used for demonstration and placing a way for introducing useful information to integrity management. For this case, the influence of maximum corrosion volume (MCV) is considered, and other dimensions can be dealt with following the same routine to make supplementary conclusions. The method enables maintenance personnel to predict the reliability of pipelines and effectively modify inspection and maintenance plans for next part of pipeline life.
