Steel pipeline is the optimum choice for transporting oil and gas due to its excellent strength,
material properties and cost. Some pipeline services require special attention to avoid
corrosion or erosion, e.g., corrosive water injection systems. To address this, internal liners
have been introduced, including cement-lined to protect the pipelines from such conditions.
Even though cement-liners enhance the reliability of the pipelines, there are still challenges
related to inspection. The inspection of cement-lined pipelines is difficult with in-line
inspection tools (ILI) due to surface roughness of the cement, which impacts the movement.
Also, the cement lining is too thick for the sensors of the ILI tool to measure the steel
thickness through the liner.
Cement-lined pipelines are frequently used for water injection system facilities where
common inspection techniques cannot be used due to inherent limitations. As safety,
reliability and continuity are important at Saudi Aramco operations, the team spare no effort
to ensure the integrity of these pipelines utilizing different inspection techniques. In 2017,
electromagnetic acoustic transmission (EMAT) inspection technology was utilized for the first
time on cement-lined pipelines at the water injection facilities. This paper describes the
capability and successful deployment of EMAT inspection technology.

Pipelines are one of the essential elements in the upstream oil and gas operation network. Transportation of the produced products to the end client is ensured through maintaining the pipeline integrity. Internal corrosion is one of the major problems that could directly affect pipeline integrity and, in severe cases, lead to failure. Different internal corrosion monitoring techniques are available to assess and evaluate fluid corrosivity and monitor it. Online Corrosion Monitoring (OCM) that uses corrosion coupons are widely utilized to measure the corrosion and pitting rate, in addition to fluid and bacteria analysis for fluid sample collected from cleaning pigging processes that qualitatively and quantitatively reflect the fluid corrosivity. Inline inspection (ILI) is a very sophisticated non-destructive inspection technique conducted for identifying pitting corrosion, erosion, cracks, and other types of pipeline defects. This paper presents a case study on correlates the Online Corrosion Monitoring (OCM) data, Wet chemistry analysis of the fluid, cleaning pigging samples, operational Data along with Inline inspection (ILI) data for one of the main and critical North Kuwait crude export pipeline. The paper's outcome could be utilized for implementing a good corrosion mitigation plan and prioritizing and following up on the action plans of the Crude pipelines.

Use of Large Standoff Magnetometry in Pipeline Integrity Investigations

Large standoff magnetometry (LSM), a novel screening technology, has shown strong industry relevance in several pipeline integrity investigations. LSM is used to detect changes in the magnetic field of a pipeline due to changes in the magnetic susceptibility of steel. These changes are known as inverse magnetostriction (a.k.a. the Villari effect) and occur when a ferromagnetic material (steel) is subjected to mechanical stress, such as the presence of stress on the wall of a pipeline. Geometric anomalies (ovalities, dents, wrinkles), hoop stress, ground and slope movement, bend strain, thermal expansion, cracks, and material defects are examples of potential sources of stress that LSM can detect from aboveground.

This paper summarizes the use of LSM as a complimentary tool in several pipeline integrity assessments conducted on oil and gas pipelines, in this case, to pinpoint a lost inline inspection pig and to identify dents, cracks, buckles, slope movement, casing ends, unknown valve locations and other pipeline integrity and direct assessment applications. Ongoing development programs and lessons learnt from practical, real-life projects and validations of the technology are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of LSM for pipeline integrity investigations.
