This latest edition of the standard reference to pipeline pigging contains 41 new technical contributions from an international panel of expert authors. The book provides a wide-ranging overview of the best in pigging and integrity-monitoring technology, and thus makes essential reading for all involved in these increasingly important industries. The contents are divided into six sections, dealing with utility pigging, corrosion issues, intelligent pigging, case studies, and integrity management, and prefaced by a section with a number of important, but general, papers. The role of pigging in maintaining and expanding the pipeline infrastructure has becomemore critical due to projected increases in oil and gas consumption and thus transportation capacity. At the same time, the aging of networks in the US and elsewere to 60+ years (30-40 years beyond design life, by some estimates) - and the installation of new lines over greater distances and more hostile environments - have made the technical requirements and demand for pigging technology ever more acute. The science of pigging is developing to provide thetechnology required to keep these pipelines in the best possible condition, and to ensure their continuing integrity. There are few problems that the pigging industry cannot solve nowadays, and this book includes a number of case histories showing what can be achieved in practice.But pigging is not just about high-level inspection; rather, the basics of pipeline design and of utility pigging to accommodate the most mundane tasks, are in the long term probably even more important. The book provides a wide-ranging overview of the best in pigging andintegrity-monitoring technology, and thus makes essential reading for all involved in these increasingly important industries.

Since publication of the first edition of Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Technology 25 years ago, there have been massive advances the pigging and inspection industry: superb high-technology solutions have been developed, using some of the most advanced and reliable technology paralleling the aerospace industry, and feature assessments down to millimetric sizes are almost the norm. Inspection data interpretation has also developed to the stage where it's no longer a black art: survey results can be examined and analysed on a client's own PC or laptop, the thought of which was almost unheard of only a decade ago. But still some basic questions remain unanswered, probably the most basic of all being "how clean is my pipeline?" and "how best to design a pig launcher and receiver?" This book, as with previous editions, provides an overview of some of the latest thinking and achievements in the area of pigging technology and integrity management. Its content is 41 papers from the series of conferences entitled Pipeline Pigging & Integrity Management (now known as PPIM) that the publishers have organized in Houston and elsewhere between 2007 and 2012, chosen to represent a wide range of issues concerning the pipeline industry and maintenance of its integrity. Printed in full color throughout.

This practical reference book attempts to answer many of the questions and problems associated with pigging and pipeline inspection technology applied to oil, gas and products pipelines both on- and offshore. The book discusses why, when and how to pig a line, intelligent pigs, interpreting data, economics, environmental considerations and risk assessment, and rehabilitation and repair. Among the new features of this edition are on-line inspection techniques, US regulations, inspection of the Trans Alaska pipeline, gel pig technology, interpreting intelligent pig results, on-line repair, internal cleaning and coating, and when to renew a pipeline.
