Case Study: Foreign Operator DC Interference On An Existing Pipeline Systems

Picture for Case Study: Foreign Operator DC Interference On An Existing Pipeline Systems
Available for download

EN Engineering (ENE) completed an AC interference study over 68 miles of an operator’s transmission line. In addition, an ACVG survey of approximately one (1) mile of the pipeline was conducted at the take-off point of the 8” line. As a result of this AC interference study, evidence of elevated AC corrosion risk has not been found on the operator’s pipeline. However, a review of the provided data shows evidence of DC interference due to a nearby foreign rectifier groundbed at the take-off point of the operator’s line.

Close Interval pipe-to-soil Surveys (CIS), Alternating Current Voltage Gradient (ACVG), and In-Line Inspection (ILI) data suggested corrosion activity on a buried gas transmission pipeline. An analysis of the survey results and additional testing in the field determined a foreign operator was responsible for static DC interference on the pipeline. This paper is a case study for the testing, analysis, and design for the interference.

AC interference analysis between high voltage AC (HVAC) powerlines and buried pipelines is a matter of current interest due to the growing number of right-of-ways shared between powerline and pipeline infrastructure. This is only expected to increase as the worldwide energy demand grows considerably over the next 30 years,1 and stricter environmental regulations and policies are applied. Therefore, AC interference will continue to be an issue of concern for powerline and pipeline operators to protect the public, environment, and maintain asset integrity.
