Production, Facilities and Construction SIG: Repurposing Discontinued and Abandoned Pipelines as Co

Date: June 19, 2018
Location: Calgary Petroleum Club (329 5 Ave SW)
Time: 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
Featuring: Glynn Pearson, MBA, SECURE Energy Services
Cost: $45 SPE Members, $55 Non-members, $15 Students

Abstract:

Free standing liner installation in a pre-existing pipeline is a common remediation technique for failed and failing pipelines. New pipeline materials, typically spoolable non-metallics, are pulled through the old line leaving a new pipeline in place at a far lower cost than traditional pipeline installation. A new emerging trend in SECUREs customer base is the purchase of discontinued and abandoned pipelines purely for use as conduit. In this presentation, SECURE will cover the following:

• Freestanding Liner Process
• Project Planning Basics
  • Overview of Product Selection
    • Composite Pipeline Materials
    • Small Diameter HDPE
    • Non-Spoolable Products (Large Diameter HDPE, and Fiberglass)
  • Clearances, Bends, Pull Lengths and Locating Bellholes
• Common Failure Modes and Mitigation
• SECURE Capabilities and ISO Certification
