50 mV As a Screening Criteria for Shorted Casings – Case Study

Picture for 50 mV As a Screening Criteria for Shorted Casings – Case Study
Available for download

While performing cathodic protection surveys, carrier pipe and casing potential readings are typically recorded at the same test station location near the end of a casing. Comparing these potentials should reveal a difference between the cathodically protected pipe versus an unprotected and electrically isolated casing. The difference in potentials is one of available tests to determine whether a casing may be electrically shorted to the carrier pipe. The pipe-to-electrolyte and casing-to-electrolyte potential comparison is usually the initial “screening” method.

AMPP SP-0200-2014 Steel Cased Pipeline Practices is the industry consensus guidance document detailing techniques to screen for and evaluate cased crossings for shorts. The Standard Practice (SP) provides various non-mandatory monitoring techniques that may be applied to evaluate the presence of a shorted condition.
This abstract provides a case study by one pipeline operator and their decision to utilize 50 mV as a potential screening criterion for shorted casings.

Traditional Corrosion Growth Rate (CGR) models used in the integrity assessment of corroded pipelines are deterministic. A common Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) inline inspection (ILI) tool performance specification on general corrosion anomaly depth is +/- 10% Wall Thickeness (WT) at 80% confidence which corresponds to a standard deviation of 7.81% WT.  Probabilistic Corrosion Growth Rate (PCGR) models incorporate these large measurement uncertainties and provide more realistic reliability assessments

As oil and gas operators ramp up their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint, more and more renewable energy projects will be constructed adjacent to pipeline infrastructure and facilities. This can compromise the corrosion protection systems designed to protect the existing pipeline infrastructure and can result in both AC and DC interference risks. There is very little literature related to the cathodic protection (CP) system impacts and interference risks of renewable energy projects on pipeline infrastructure, and how best to mitigate the risks.

The range of factors affecting the susceptibility of equipment to corrosion under insulation (CUI)
are numerous. Some of these factors might be controlled through better design, more robust
installation procedures, and using better quality coatings. However, there are other risk factors such as operating temperature, material type, and environmental conditions that cannot be easily modified.
