Build a Future-Ready Workforce in Pipeline Integrity

About the Course: This 4-hour live online course explores the evolution of pipeline safety and integrity management in light of technological advancements and improved assessment methodologies. While pipeline failure rates have declined over time, incidents still occur, with "human factors" often identified as a significant contributor. To address this, many regulators have adopted a goal-oriented approach, requiring operators to implement and maintain robust Pipeline Integrity Management Systems (PIMS). This course provides a comprehensive overview of a "best practice" framework that integrates the essential technical and management control aspects necessary for the safe and effective operation of pipelines. Participants will gain a detailed understanding of key components within this framework and how they contribute to minimizing risks and ensuring pipeline integrity.

This training course provides a comprehensive introduction to speed control solutions used in high-velocity gas pipelines, with a particular focus on Automated Speed Control (ASC) systems. It is designed to build a foundational understanding of how pipeline inspection and cleaning tools operate and why controlling their speed is critical for both operational performance and data accuracy. The course begins by explaining the concept of speed control in gas pipelines, where inspection and cleaning tools (commonly referred to as pigs) are propelled through pipelines by the gas flow. Because these tools rely on flow conditions, managing their velocity is essential to ensure effective maintenance and reliable inspection results. Participants are introduced to the key challenge faced in gas pipeline operations: balancing high gas flow rates, needed for economic efficiency, with the requirement for lower tool speeds to achieve high-quality inspection data and optimal cleaning performance. Reducing flow to meet inspection requirements can lead to significant operational and financial impacts. The course then explores the role of Automated Speed Control (ASC) units as a solution to this challenge. It explains the technology principles behind ASC, including the use of bypass valves and differential pressure to regulate tool speed independently of pipeline flow. Participants learn how ASC dynamically adjusts tool velocity using electronic control systems and odometer feedback to maintain target speeds. Further sections cover the capabilities of ASC systems, including factors influencing speed reduction such as pipeline characteristics, flow conditions, and tool design. The training also highlights the importance of purpose-built tools versus modified tools in achieving optimal performance. Finally, the course demonstrates the financial and operational benefits of ASC through real-life examples, showing how optimized performance allows inspections to be carried out without reducing production, thereby avoiding significant revenue losses.     Meet the Expert Michael Schorr-Samaniego – Service Manager- Proficient Pipeline Integrity Division Michael Schorr has a background in mechanical engineering and, as Service Manager for Metal Loss and Deformation Services, is responsible for lifecycle management and support.

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

This course introduces viewers to the versatility and potential of the Pipeline Data Logger (PDL) and its value to pipeline operators and servicing companies such as ROSEN. The course begins by defining what the PDL is, outlining its fundamental working principles, typical configurations, and core use cases. It then explores the PDL’s compatibility with different pipeline media types and its ability to be integrated with any tool capable of traversing a pipeline. Building on this foundation, the course explains how PDL data is gathered, processed, and presented. Viewers are then introduced to a wide range of practical applications, including identifying the causes and locations of gauge plate damage, analysing pig run behaviour, assessing known and unknown internal pipeline conditions, monitoring the progress of cleaning campaigns, and identifying geometrical challenges within a pipeline. Together, these applications demonstrate how PDL data can be used to enhance and fine‑tune pigging operations. Real‑world examples are used throughout the course to illustrate the practicality and effectiveness of the Pipeline Data Logger, before concluding with a summary of the key takeaways. Overall, this course serves as an introduction to one of ROSEN’s established and widely used technologies. It highlights how the PDL provides many advantages comparable to in‑line inspection tools, while serving a distinct and complementary purpose. By the end of the course, viewers will appreciate how a compact device attached to a pig can deliver detailed insight into pipeline behaviour and pigging performance. This data can be used to support informed, strategic decisions that promote pipeline safety, cleanliness, and optimal operational performance.   Meet the Expert Eyad Alhamouly is an Inside Sales Engineer within ROSEN’s Field Products & Services Business Line, supporting pipeline operators across Europe, Africa, and West Asia with tailored cleaning solutions that promote safe, efficient, and resilient pipeline networks.   Since joining ROSEN in early 2025, Eyad has applied his Mechanical Engineering background, shaped at the University of Twente, to develop technical configurations and commercial proposals that enhance pipeline cleanliness and throughput. With a strong interest in the energy sector, he is driven by helping operators achieve reliable, high quality infrastructure.   Eyad is particularly passionate about the Pipeline Data Logger (PDL) and its ability to transform traditional cleaning tools into insight driven solutions. He views the PDL as a form of “soft inspection,” bridging the gap between conventional cleaning and in line inspection by enabling continuous monitoring of debris and pigging performance.
