A quick look at the major causes of midstream pipeline incidents in 2018 reveals an interesting picture. While material/weld/equipment failures accounted for more than 35% of incidents, the major cause for 11.7% of incidents was incorrect operation measures. These figures rightly underline the importance of establishing and maintaining a strong operator qualification (OQ) and safety orientation program for workers. This white paper will discuss:
• The current landscape of pipeline operations
• Regulations and qualifications to know
• How to orchestrate a successful OQ program.

High-Density Polyethelene (HDPE) has grown considerably in popularity in recent years. As operators seek new ways to cut costs, HDPE offers a number of advantages over steel. It is relatively inexpensive, flexible, lightweight, and far easier to install. However, it does have one major shortcoming. HDPE is vulnerable to chemical permeation. Most companies and operators are aware of permeation, but there is less information readily available on how to address the problem. Our upcoming whitepaper discusses what chemical permeation is, why it’s a problem for HDPE specifically, the risks involved and commercially available solutions.

NDT Global's Evo Eclipse technology is a combination of high-resolution crack robots (UCx) and new analysis methodologies. Together, these technologies enable new inline inspection robots with a circumferential resolution of 5.0 mm (0.2 in). Higher-resolution tools, specialized sensors and measurement configurations address major flaw-measurement challenges: depth-sizing accuracies, extended maximum crack depth sizing beyond the formerly known maximum crack depth of typically 4 mm (0.16 in), through wall defects, and measurement capabilities less susceptible to skew and tilt.
