Build a Future-Ready Workforce in Pipeline Integrity

Gain an understanding of external corrosion and related degradation mechanisms on pipelines, as well as the environmental effects and relevant mitigation strategies. Learn about factory-applied pipeline coating types and field-applied coating types, along with the key reasons behind their use and the requirements for the success of a coating over the lifecycle of an asset. Developed by ROSEN expert Ian Laing, this course offers awareness-level knowledge essential to pipeline integrity management. It can be taken as a standalone learning experience or as part of a broader professional development journey. Read more

In pipeline integrity management, understanding that pipelines can fail is crucial. This course was designed to explain how failure analysis is conducted and how conclusions are drawn from it. Through this analysis, you will learn to identify both the direct causes of failure, such as corrosion, and the root causes, like faults in cathodic protection systems. You will discover that many root causes are linked to issues with staff training and human factors, which have unfortunately contributed to significant loss of life. The course presents various direct causes of failure, supported by case studies, images, and detailed schematics. Additionally, the course covers structural failure, describing different failure modes and mechanisms - such as fracture and collapse-controlled failures - as well as direct causes including corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and fabrication or weld-seam defects. Developed by industry expert Dr. Brian Leis, this course offers awareness-level knowledge essential to pipeline integrity management. It can be taken as a standalone reference or as part of a broader learning journey. Read more

This e-learn course will provide you with an understanding of the underlying principles, concepts and technical parameters in failure modes and mechanisms as applied to pipelines giving the individual an all-round understanding of failure modes and mechanisms. The objective of this course is to provide an overview of failure modes (collapse, buckling etc) and failure mechanisms (corrosion, fatigue, etc). Developed by industry expert Dr. Phil Hopkins, the course delivers awareness-level knowledge essential for anyone involved in pipeline integrity management. It can be taken as a standalone reference or as part of a broader professional development pathway. Read more

This course will help you understand the underlying principles, concepts, technical parameters and methods for assessing defects such as cracks, in high pressure pipelines and associated components under static and cyclic (fatigue) loading, including the determination of appropriate loadings and material properties. Developed by industry expert Dr. Bob Andrews, this course offers essential awareness-level knowledge in pipeline integrity management. It can be taken independently as a standalone reference or incorporated into a comprehensive learning journey. Read more

Pipelines transporting hydrogen are a part of the world’s ‘energy transition’ initiative to tackle climate change. This e-learn course outlines the minimum necessary principles, concepts, practices, problems, challenges, and technical parameters involved in the role of these transmission pipelines in the energy transition and technical, design, operation, and integrity management issues. By completing this Introduction to Hydrogen in the Energy Transition e-learn course, you will be aware of the reasons for hydrogen pipelines, the basic properties of hydrogen, and its transportation and storage. You will also be able to understand the different types of hydrogen and their production and have an awareness of the basic design and issues faced with hydrogen pipelines. Developed by industry expert Dr. Phil Hopkins, this course offers awareness-level knowledge that supports a foundational understanding of pipeline integrity management. It can be undertaken as a standalone resource or integrated into a broader learning journey. Read more

This course will provide you with the underlying principles, concepts and technical parameters in in-line inspection (ILI) technologies and procedures, as applied to pipelines and similar cylindrical pressure vessels. It offers a well-rounded understanding of ILI within the context of pipeline integrity. Developed by industry expert Dr. Michael Beller, the course provides awareness-level knowledge relevant to pipeline integrity management. It can be taken as part of a broader learning journey or used as a standalone reference. Read more
