This corrosion assessment course, developed by ROSEN expert Cheryl Argent and industry expert Dr. Bruce Nestleroth, provides a comprehensive introduction to evaluating corrosion in pipelines, with a focus on the ASME B31G standard. Corrosion can affect both external and internal surfaces of oil and gas pipelines, often caused by environmental conditions or the corrosive nature of the substances they carry, such as natural gas, crude oil, and other products. While not all pipeline corrosion instances demand immediate repair, conducting a detailed pipeline integrity assessment - using methods like the ASME B31G standard - is crucial. This standard, developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, helps operators determine the severity of corrosion and decide if and when pipeline repair or pipeline maintenance is necessary. Implementing this standard ensures safe and efficient operation, extending the lifespan of the pipeline and minimizing the risk of failures or leaks.   Read more

This course, presented by Dr. Edmund Bennett, is designed to give you a comprehensive introduction to the role and value of machine learning in the pipeline industry. You will gain insight into how machine learning is transforming the sector—enabling automation, predictive maintenance, and smarter decision-making that leads to greater efficiency, cost savings, and reduced downtime. You will explore the main types of machine learning—supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning—and learn how each can be applied to real-world pipeline scenarios. For example, you’ll see how supervised learning helps predict integrity threats, how unsupervised learning detects hidden patterns, and how reinforcement learning improves operational strategies. In addition, you will learn the importance of data preparation, including how to clean and transform data, manage missing values, and evaluate model performance—critical steps to ensure reliable outcomes from machine learning models. Whether you are a manager or team leader, this course will equip you with the foundational knowledge you need to confidently engage in machine learning projects, ask the right questions, and make informed, data-driven decisions.

The Australian Standard AS2885 establishes a comprehensive framework for ensuring pipeline safety, with its cornerstone being the Safety Management Study (SMS). This 40-minute introductory course is designed to provide an entry-level understanding of the AS2885 SMS methodology, which is essential for anyone working with pipelines designed, constructed, or operated under this standard. This course was created by subject matter expert Susan Jaques and throughout this self-study course, you will explore both the theory behind the SMS and the practical steps involved in the process. By the end of the course, you will have gained an awareness of the knowledge needed to prepare for and effectively contribute to an SMS, enhancing the safety and reliability of pipeline operations. This course is ideal for pipeline engineers, technical professionals, and subject matter experts who want to deepen their understanding of AS2885's SMS and its critical role in pipeline safety management. Whether you're new to AS2885 or looking to refresh your knowledge, this course will equip you with the essential skills needed to maximize your participation in the SMS process. Read more

In-Field Verification is a critical component of any In-Line Inspection (ILI) validation campaign. However, if not executed correctly, it can cast a shadow of doubt over the ILI performance and compromise the integrity decision-making process. This concise 30-minute recorded video presentation with ROSEN expert Tom Oldfield serves as an introduction to the subject matter, addressing its nuances, hurdles, and provides simple yet effective steps that operators can adopt to ensure the quality of the data collected in the field meets an adequate standard for validating ILI performance.
