The solids, organic and inorganic, get deposited in pipelines during various operations beginning for commissioning. These solids need proper assessment and control and preventive measures for flow assurance. The control of solids needs care at the time of construction and commissioning also. The course will deal with all these aspects as well as pigging analysis, planning and data management. There will be detailed session and discussion on OISD SOP.

Course Agenda

(A) Introduction/Importance of Pipeline Cleaning
    1. Flow assurance
    2. Smooth internal coating & lining of pipelines
    3. Maintaining and ensuring asset integrity


(B) Causes and Mechanism of Deposition/Flow Impediment
    1. Deposits available prior to commissioning of the pipeline
    2. Deposition /contamination in idle pipelines
    3. Organic solid formation & deposition, prevention & remediation
    4. Internal Corrosion: Corrosion product, Black powder, microbiological deposits


(C) Methods of Prevention, Control and Remediation of Deposits
    1.  Mechanical Cleaning
        a. Pigging (Pre-commissioning & operational)
        b. Use of chemicals combined together with Pigging
    2. Chemical & Solvent Cleaning
    3. Deposits in pipeline during different stages
        • Construction
        • Commissioning
        • Idle pipelines
        • Operations
        o Organic (wax and asphaltenes) in oil lines
        o Water, especially in gas pipelines
        o Inorganic
            ~ From produced fluids
            ~ From corrosion reactions
        • Black powder
        • Cleaning methodologies
            o Pigging
