This paper seeks to present the uncertain events that occur during the assessment and management of corrosion data survey by using Bayes' Model. In decision making, uncertainty about the outcomes of various situations is an important element of the analysis of the alternative strategies from which the choice must be made.

 This paper seeks to present the uncertain events that occur during the assessment and management of corrosion data survey by using Bayes' Model. In decision making, uncertainty about the outcomes of various situations is an important element of the analysis of the alternative strategies from which the choice must be made.

The two main interpretations of probability in this paper are objective and subjective probabilities. Bayesian conditional probability theory is the approach adopted in the assessment of subjective probability. The Bayesian (or subjectivist) interpretation views the probability of an event as a subjective degree of belief, which taken into account all relevant knowledge and information. The cornerstone of Bayesian probability theory is the inversion formula due to Bayes.

This paper therefore models pipeline oil/gas failures in line with Bayesian methods of diagnostic inference and evidence patterns along six broad categories of oil/gas failures: stress rupture, lack of quality control, environment, sand erosion, corrosion, and natural cause. The data generated in this study are from survey, which runs from Makaraba, Utonana, Abiteye, Dibi, Olero Creek, Opuekeba, and terminating at the Escravos Tank Farm of the Chevron western swamp facilities.

 Key words: corrosion data management, uncertainty, Bayesian probability, oil and gas failures, knowledge representation

04192 Integrity Assessment of Pipeline Networks Through Close-Interval Potential Survey

Product Number: 51300-04192-SG

A close-interval potential (CIP) data survey on ~154 km of Crude Oil/Gas pipeline networks. This aim was to generate corrosion data to determine weak sections of the pipelines/flowlines and, to ascertain the effectiveness of the CP system and integrity of the Crude Oil/Gas pipeline networks. The pipeline networks were found safe for continued operation under its present condition.

In Nigeria, the majority of the oil/gas/liquids pipelines are 30 to 50 years old. Most of the pipes were laid on the surface. But these pipelines have become old, corroded and less effective. They fail due to corrosion induced leaks ( resulting from lack of pipeline integrity survey and inadequate corrosion monitoring program design ) as well as vandalism.

06442 POSSIBLE GLYCOL CORROSION IN NOMINALLY DRY GAS PIPELINES

Pipeline quality gas is normally dried in Triethylene Glycol (TEG).  This paper explores how TEG vapor can exist in a pipeline in a similar manner to water, and possibly lead to corrosion. TEG vapor can condense at long distances down a gas pipeline as the line cools.
