risk and life management software for pipelines
TRANSCRIPT
Risk and life management software for pipelines
pipeline risk audit enables inspection maintenance
resources to be risk-focused
optimum inspection periods are formally obtained based on an implicit time dimension of risk
risk mitigation measures are signalled and selected to meet inspection frequency targets
highly user friendly inspection management tool in accordance with the new API RP 580
user-selectable application display language
Industry is recognising that benefits may be gained from adopting formal risk-based approaches to pipeline integrity management through improved targeting and scheduling of inspection and maintenance effort. RISKWISE for Pipelines™
assesses the likelihood and consequence of failure for pipeline segments and produces an itemised risk and remaining life profile for each pipeline or pipeline network
accepts output of pigging inspection and long range ultrasonic testing (UT) (e.g. Teletest®) reports is convenient to use and can be easily learned as the risk model allows qualitative as well as
quantitative input includes a regular updated database with all relevant damage mechanisms, as well as guidance on
formulating the likelihood and the consequence of failure the focus/defocus module allows the user to mitigate the risk of loss or optimise the current
inspection programme identifies the high risk locations in each pipeline or pipeline network and allows inspection to be
properly targeted determines the risk of failure with time which provides a formal basis for assessing remaining life and hence establishing the period between pipeline inspections
Benefits in brief
provides a user friendly approach to cost-effective life management of pipelines for oil, gas, chemicals or water transport
translates inspection data into pipeline risk and remaining life profiles for ‘direct assessment’
facilitates the selection of optimum risk mitigation measures

RISKWISE™
RISKWISE™ is a TWI software product
Key features user friendly software, fully
transparent – ensures buy-in by users
audit team approach – accommodates plant experience
interfaces with existing inspection data management systems
time-based risk auditing module – equipment ranked by risk and remaining life
inspection frequency based on formal reliability rules – remaining life indicator (RLI) module
focus/defocus module – facilitates selection of optimum mitigation measures
screens high risk areas requiring fully quantitative probabilistic assessment fully auditable output – acceptability to insurers/regulators
Implementation approach RISKWISE™ can be applied to all types of pipelines including those for oil, gas, chemicals or water transport. The following approach is normally adopted:
1. supply the software 2. conduct training in
implementation and functionality of the software
3. assist in the implementation at a specified plant - optional
4. software maintenance and upgrade support - optional
Equipment requirement PC (stand-alone or networked) with
