Historical failure data of corroded oil and gas pipelines helps estimate risk and reliability
using statistical models if the distribution of the characteristics of corrosion defects is known …

Corrosion is a major cause of the loss of hermeticity in oil and gas pipelines. Corrosion
defects affect the remaining life of in-service pipelines and can lead to failures, ruptures …

The reliability and risk of non-piggable, corroding oil and gas pipelines can be estimated
from historical failure data and through reliability models based on the assumed or …

This paper presents a methodology to evaluate the reliability of corroding pipelines by
simultaneously considering the growth and generation of corrosion defects. The non …

Locating internal corrosion damage in gas pipelines is made difficult by the presence of
large uncertainties in flow characteristics, pre-existing conditions, corrosion resistance …

Pipeline integrity management is currently undertaken worldwide using reliability/risk
analyses in a continuous effort to improve the tools to address integrity and environmental …

Defects in pipelines may corrode further and grow larger over time. Eventually the size of
such defects may threaten the integrity of pipelines and result in expensive repairs …

Corrosion in pipelines can lead to leak and rupture failures with significant consequences
for people, the economy, and the environment. Corrosion growth rates are often determined …

Pipelines are the most efficient and safest means for the transportation of oil, gas, and
refined petroleum products. Potentially severe consequences of pipeline failures make …

Quantitative risk assessment due to external corrosion requires an estimation of corrosion
rates which is a challenging task for pipeline engineers because of the uncertainty in data …
