Pipelines are the most vital energy-transportation mediums of today's energy-intensive
economies. To a level, pipeline integrity is tied to the continuous development and …

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 …

This paper proposes a practical implementation of robust ensemble learning models for
accurate prediction of the internal corrosion rate in oil and gas pipelines. A correct …

Pipelines are economical and efficient modes of transporting oil and gas. Pipelines will
inevitably confront various risk factors throughout their lifespan, which could lead to defects …

Underground pipelines suffer from corrosion in the soil. In this work, weight-loss testing,
electrochemical measurements and surface analysis techniques were used to investigate …

This paper aims to evaluate time-dependent reliability of a corroding onshore underground
natural gas pipeline system over its lifetime. The reliability analysis is segment-based, as …

A continuous time non-homogenous linear growth pure birth Markov model was used to
predict the future pit depth distribution of internally corroded oil and gas pipelines. A …

A new Bayesian methodology for the analysis of external corrosion data of non-piggable
underground pipelines has been developed. It allows for the estimation of the statistical …

Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) initiation is usually simulated at the mesoscale, and these
computations are usually expensive. This is made more computationally challenging or …

This paper presents a new methodology for estimation of small posterior failure probabilities
for underground energy pipelines, based on external corrosion inspection data. The …
