Build a Future-Ready Workforce in Pipeline Integrity

A holistic approach to pipeline performance considers multiple aspects of operational and maintenance management. Flow instabilities, thermal issues, blockages and restrictions, containment loss and operational fluctuations all can impact the safe and economical transportation of media through pipeline assets. This is supported through understanding where the pinch points are in a system or where improvements can be made to improve efficiencies and throughput effectiveness. The Pipeline Performance Framework (PPF) is a comprehensive approach that draws on a collection of actionable measures which are designed to guide and provide improvement opportunities to enhance pipeline throughput and improve efficiencies. In this training course, expert Allan Browne explains the six main measures of this comprehensive approach to pipeline performance. Read more

This introductory video explores how the Pipeline Open Data Standard (PODS) model has evolved to effectively manage the vast and complex datasets generated by Inline Inspection (ILI) activities. As ILI technology advances and sensors capture increasingly detailed information, managing, aligning, and analyzing this data has become a critical component of modern pipeline integrity management. Viewers will gain insight into the collaborative efforts of the PODS working group that developed a structured and scalable data model designed to handle hundreds of thousands of inspection records, supporting corrosion growth analysis, anomaly tracking, and long-term asset integrity. The session walks through the model’s design principles, demonstrates data loading with FME, and highlights best practices for integrating ILI data within a relational or geodatabase environment. About the PODS Partnership: Through the partnership between ROSEN’s Competence Club and the PODS Association, members gain access to specialized training and resources that bridge the gap between data management and pipeline integrity. This collaboration strengthens the industry’s shared commitment to improving safety, reliability, and competence through open standards, knowledge sharing, and innovation. By incorporating PODS learning materials into the Competence Club, ROSEN provides its members with the tools and insights needed to master the evolving world of pipeline data management. Read more

La verificación de campo es un componente crítico de cualquier campaña de validación de inspección en línea (ILI). Sin embargo, si no se ejecuta correctamente, puede arrojar una sombra de duda sobre el desempeño de la ILI y comprometer el proceso de toma de decisiones de integridad. Esta concisa presentación en video grabada de 30 minutos con el experto Tom Oldfield sirve como introducción al tema, aborda sus matices y obstáculos, y proporciona pasos simples pero efectivos que los operadores pueden adoptar para garantizar que la calidad de los datos recopilados en campo cumpla con un estándar adecuado para validar el desempeño de la ILI.
