How to create outlook signature

yes good morning and thank you I'm not going to talk about me but uh here's a little write up somebody did but uh let's do the introduction and what it's all about B basically we're going to be talking about 192 195 we're going to talk primarily 1160 API 1160 and and the new 1185 and then also we'll be talking about uh ASB b31 eight uh subpart o and things things of that nature and then also uh the amp nce um um new document on Integrity management uh that just came out 0113 so so hang on to your hat uh uh we this is a great subject um and and it keeps evolving as as everybody could see but the bottom line is um not it's just not regulations but you know what operators need to be doing preventing third-party damage controlling corrosion detecting un unattended releases minimizing the consequences of unattended releases and course operating pressure reduction plays a big role particularly uh when we're dealing with uh cracking and other issues uh as I said what the learning objective was uh we'll be talking about that uh and and and the new new documents and things of that that uh nature so uh let's get started uh like I said the course agenda would be 192 we'll be talking about corrosion testing operations Integrity uh and then on the 192 side and then uh uh 195 would be onm and and corrosion uh omm doesn't have their own subpart did anybody ever wonder why because they speak with one voice where we're on the gas side multiple voices AG engga a and so on so forth GTI and so Southern gas we we have a lot of voices and then the industry strandard standards we'll be talking about is uh the 1160 primarily and but the the 1173 uh 3es come out and and that's um a management uh primarily P pipeline uh management uh to uh uh for uh and and then also we have the new um uh 1185 like I said the public engagement uh and then the B b318 um and so on so forth and uh primarily uh we're we're going to be talking about the nice documents too and how they just started integrating their new Integrity management uh program that uh standard practice that has come out so let's talk about 19 two requirements for corrosion control it's been around for ages since since uh 1971 and so uh it hasn't changed that much but uh there has been changes over the years but the biggest thing that has changed probably is the examination of buried pipe when exposed and of course it has the protective Coatings in there that uh we we should be thinking about CP external monitoring electrical isolation test stations and interference particularly today in today's world of AC AC interference uh that has been added in there uh and then we need to think about uh some of the other requirements for corrosion control I.E internal um you know what once once uh once it's been established that there's a corrosive environment you need to be taken care of that of course atmospheric issues uh General and um atmospheric corrosion and monitoring or medial measures and then da direct assessment uh for EC that's external uh internal and SCC and of course records and inline inspection of pipelines and and we'll get into that um um a little bit later uh as far as uh the regulations go for 192 and I'll get to 195 so hang on guys and ladies uh prescribes the minimum requirements uh for the the operation of the pipeline facilities uh of course uh we should have written procedures which the on andm and and also emergency response and what's that about well we're talking about uh not just uh any kind of an abnormal operation and then that includes unintended closure of valves it happens sometimes um uh things happen because of the multiple pipeline rideway systems and and things of this nature and and and temperature swings and U things go wrong sometimes and uh you have to go out and look and see see where that those valves closed uh if you don't have any any kind of scada systems on them um we need to look at onm and and and like I said the emergencies and the verification of the pipeline the material properties since the mega rule has taken place right uh we need to be doing more more or non or destructive tests examinations uh to verify material properties uh destructive of course would be hydro and and and uh in that regards and then and of course the biggest thing is TVC documentation and verification of material properties that includes the toughness and then the sampling and the sampling should be done at least uh one excavation per mile so so so so so many of the pipeline operators you know have to uh 2035 to finish that up regarding this is my favorite one and and this is the most ignored one it's continuing Ser surveillance uh it's overlooked and and this is why I bring this up and and I'm going to read this one uh because I think I think is it's very important each operator shall have a procedure for continuing surveillance of his facilities determine take appropriate action in the class location failures leakage history corrosion subst substantial changes in CP requirements back at back in my day we we kept track of that I don't see that today changes in CP requirements and we had to and we had to justify and find out why there was changes and in in unusual operating and maintenance conditions and and and and and even though this this was just in the RS this is something we took seriously years ago and and I hope we're we're still doing that the other thing is damage prevention uh subpart L and and of course uh for the purposes of this section the term excavation activities uh includes uh blasting and and and and this and this is a a pretty big deal we get a lot of um uh queries about our blasting calculations and things of this nature boring tunneling backfilling and things of this nature so and and and you really need to understand you know the explosives the mechanical means the the the wave that comes in and and and and and what's behind it uh particularly uh with uh vibration equipment and and and things of this nature so keep this in mind uh uh you know particularly uh uh when there's blasting operations subpar o the the gas regulations have their own subpart and then and then the specific regulations in in in that's that that are included as compared to the liquid it's combined with with with their uh op operations uh section so uh what uh you know what do they cover well of course it's going to cover the minimum requirements you know uh you know under this part but more importantly uh what are the elements high consequence areas Baseline assessment that needs to be done that's the first thing that needs to be done and understand you know what you you know how you're going to design your system identification of threats 22 threats let's not forget about about them all the threats not just some of them continual evaluation that's why we have risk programs you know how do we how do we know it's something's being done correctly you know uh and being Tak care being taken care of have we reduced the risk monitoring Provisions for meeting requirements mitigation performance measures recordkeeping and that's TVC management of change quality assurance and and a Communications plan the communications plan this this is something uh I think that has to be uh uh really looked at again because uh there was a time uh where I was located uh in in the in in the high consequence areas of the Northeast they had line Patrol every day the company did and one of the things they established was great Communications with the people who lived around the pipeline those people I uh I could tell you U for a fact kept the eyes and ears open and called the company when they saw things that didn't look right on the RightWay that's how important is it's another set of eyes and ears I I could never believe it why it's because those those those line Patrol had good Communications with with with those people around who lived around the pipelines subpar we talked about the high consequen areas the Baseline the actions uh the The Da uh uh you know ecda icda scda and of course confirmatory direct assessment you know where you only have to do one survey once once you get the others uh comp completed and and then um and then the prevention and mitigation and and where is direct assessment used on primarily on unpiggable systems okay and and it detects only the coding anomalies and then and then it has to be analyzed to determine if there's any corrosion going on so it doesn't directly look for corrosion it looks for coating anomaly so keep that in mind uh of course icda uh would be water HED up and things of this nature and and and or and SEC uh would be similar to the ecda but more on the environmental side you know to determine uh particularly where where the uh um where the shielding is occurring on the coding systems continual process it doesn't end this this stuff doesn't end and the same thing with the risk programs it has to be done when they say continual I say day today on a day-to-day basis and then and then you're reassessment intervals and Records what records of course you got to have your plan your threat identification your risk program I was involved in Risk uh at one time and and like I say uh it had to be a day-to-day thing one one of the things when I was involved in Risk is I visited every station on the pipeline why so I could get a feel of what their needs were I went out and asked asked each one of them questions I had probably 25 or 30 questions and I knew all the answers but it was just to see what they would say and and and how they perceived it and it was interesting uh EV every station said we're the best and that was a good thing I think that was a good positive thing however uh reality says something different uh because one of the questions I asked I says when did when did you guys have your last leak and nobody could remember no one of course I had all that information but these are the kind of things uh you know we have short memories and people change and things happen and your Baseline of assessment plan has to be one of the key elements before you could even start Integrity you have you have to have a DA plan if you're going to use direct assessment particularly for areas that are unpiggable like crossover piping and things of this nature small laterals Etc and documents to support your decisions even your telephone calls or team team calls they should be documented decisions analysis the processes any deviations from it implementations and actions and evaluations documentation is key just just have one one failure and you'll find out how quickly you need to know understand all of these and and it's a wakeup call so subpar you know stands by itself compared to the 195 now now which one's better they they're both they're both the same they have the same uh uh goals but but uh but you could see uh you you know uh when when a gas line fails it does do a lot more damage in in many cases as you know strictly by the product okay so let's go to 19 5 operations and maintenance well guess what the Integrity management uh portion is is in Part F and you know what are the elements you know the elements are all the same you know the Integrity program begins with the initial framework what what the gas people call the the Baseline and so on an operator must continually change the program to reflect you know the operating experiences conclusions and so on you know from the Integrity assessments and other maintenance activi and surveillance data and and and the consequence of failure it they're all basically the same and and and so keep that in mind and that's what you'll see you'll see 1160 your your industry standards and now you know to support what the regulations are stating and then we got uh uh subparts ghl you know and so on but the bottom line is is is which includes the pipe attribute data is your Hydro test your II your Clos intervals your R string calculations and and they mentioned it in there pressure reduction risk emergency uh failure uh you know devices verification records notifications and so on and so forth so so so this is what we're we're we're looking at also corrosion control has its own section uh you know uh and and so on so forth I'm not going to repeat a lot of this stuff but but here here we have a a flange on on top of a um vessel here and and as obviously we could see we got some uh uh on the flange faces uh inside here and you can see the gasket you can have uh you know uh we have uh corrosion coming out you know between the flange faces this is not a good thing uh and also running down through the bolts and and and everything else uh so so so these the so this is what we're talking about not just uh uh you know submerged pipeline but we're talking about above ground too uh offshore and so on so forth and then the biggest thing we should be thinking about is is is the environment you know we we spend a lot of time on you know trying to determine you know where the corrup is but if we if we understood the soils the environment itself uh you know uh what's you know are there power lines in that area you know uh that could impact it with AC AC uh interference but also the corrosive activity you get some very low soil resistivities and all of a sudden uh you could have both AC and DC corrosion very quickly and then and the mitigation of uh internal corrosion CO2 Inhibitors coupons and so on so forth uh and biocides of course so so what are we talking about I'm going to just go through these quickly what we want to do is identify and an analyze the actual potential precursor events that can result in pipeline incidents uh we we have to be a detective but also we have to be a prognosticator in the sense of we need to understand provide the comprehensive integrated means examination to compare the risks to the risk uh to uh reduction activities and that's why it's important to to have that risk Pro program uh U updated uh literally on a daily basis it shouldn't be a one big data dump you know a couple times a year you know I got my II data or I got my close interval data I or I got whatever data that came in you know um or or you're cracking data you know it has to be more than that that's just the means and then we need to provide a method and the communications to implement risk reduction so so the people that are in that risk program really need to know what they're dealing with you know it isn't just sticking somebody in there and and just running some numbers they need to know what the facilities look like what are they trying to uh manage you know understand like I said I knew every all 50 of those uh uh managers inside out I met each one that's how important but more importantly not just knowing them what their facilities had that was different from the next facility and that played played an important role so so when you're sitting in the office you know do you know running these programs it it's just not the numbers themselves and the values it's what's going on locally establish and track system performance this is all part of it but we need to go more than that and and that's why I bring this out okay so so I'm going to run into these bring them all out Integrity must be built from the initial planning and design yeah yes and and and you quickly find out about how quick you how good your data is that's another thing must be flexible you better believe it better be flexible integration of data uh and information is key if you don't have that data you know uh and and it can't and it can't can't be verified then you have then the company has a problem you can't if if you can't verify that data because a lot of times companies buy additional assets and that don't have data so so so what do we do and again I'm G to emphasize this risk because I I I helped establish the one of the risk programs for the company I was involved in that and and I was part of part of the team and then also it's a continuous process it's not uh once a year we're going to run the program and we'll see to see what we got no it's too late and mitigative actions for injurious defects and then of course keep up with the technology I I can't say enough on that and then re-evaluate the Integrity management programs and and we need to be looking at the uh um hcas and and not just to the high consequence areas but also the moderate consequence areas and things this nature but uh we should be looking at the nature of the product uh uh you know what type type of product is being uh pumped uh through uh you know through the pipelines uh and there's some some pretty rough products that go through so operations pressure temperature uh we got hydraulic gradients particularly with the liquid lines you have to deal with um and and the hammer effect and things of this nature diameter of the pipe and and and release volumes the physical Pathways to these hcas you know just just because you dumped it in a little creek doesn't mean it's not going to go into a big river or or or an area where there's High consequence areas and then we need to look at uh the natural forces such as flood planes of sidence earthquake uh activity and and and and and and in other issues so so um I can't say enough about that if we don't take those into consideration uh uh you know subsidence and and and uh uh you know the flooding issues uh that has really taken a you know a front moved up to the front is is is the FL flooding issues and the response capability are we able to detect it in time not after after the fact confirm locate and respond yes we detect it but somebody called in and says oh by the way this has been leaking for the last uh a week or so and already I don't know how many barrels of whatever came out so so let's uh keep that in mind 1160 again the data sources you know similar to um you know API um uh b318 uh or or U uh you know you're dealing with your P and D the linan sheets aerial so on so forth uh GIS right away your uh your as buils your onm procedures inspection um and and we shouldn't take this lightly we should know these requirements inside out because they're your requirements they're your law once it's written down in in your in your procedures it's it becomes your law not not the feds or or the states this is your law and your uh environmental sensitive areas the USA unusual areas uh you know your to you know topography and of course GIS plays a big role in that and the high consequences areas and then the incident and risk you know this is this is where your special surveys come in your your technical studies uh you know determine you know where where really are my areas of concern and of course TVC stands on top of it so you know 1160 internal external corrosion third- party damage you know ground movement which we talked about whatever it may be uh designed in materials which which is and this is common to every whether you're a liquid or natural gas or whatever uh population environmental business Interruption there's a there's a lot of times you know on the consequence side there's sometimes there's very little we could do if there's uh if there's major buildings there and and rivers or this or that they're there we're not going to move them you know there's nothing we could do about population we can't change the direction of the river because we don't like it so so so we have to work you know with you know within those uh issues so so and and of course business business Interruption you don't want to have that this unanticipated you know leaks in in in those in these areas and the other thing we should be thinking about is the uh risk assessment um again it it covers all all of these um uh inputs you know uh and and and and one of the things that again is is keeping up with you know all all this information you know whenever there's a pipe change out or relocation things of this nature we need to consider that we need to think think about you know the depth and and so on so forth of the pipe and public education I can't say enough about that again I gave you that U uh deal when you know when when the company was doing it they had such a good relationship with with with the uh Property Owners onm Leak Detection II Hydro spill plans temperature corrosion monitoring and so on so forth this all this all has to work together really as uh as it's totally it should be integrated one of the things I I continually find out and I hear you know since I've been been away you know I retired from uh from a large gas company uh oh about 22 uh years ago I haven't stopped working since then um is is is is still I hear uh the corrosion people don't talk to the to to the Integrity people and vice versa why you guys need to be that and the risk people are in you know in their own uh cubicle you know so to speak you know they don't they don't speak they don't really get into each other's uh hair so to speak they need to risk assessment must be integrated Daya day-to-day activities risk you know qualified individuals that understand what what's going on it must have a way to evaluate and update bring up the data and then data should be complete incomplete data results in poor in poor misleading results you bet and then I I underlined this one why because data must be regularly prepared and updated and maintained if you don't do that uh continually it isn't a a data dump you know two three times a year and we're going to look at the II data no it's more more than that it's environmental and things of this nature and I'll get into that in in in a few minutes and data can be specific and and the level of importance of waiting must be considered and and let's and let's take a look at this you know your risk variables again they mention environmental risk soil type resistivity impacts current distribution on on your systems type of codings we got codings that uh Shields such as high dialectric Coatings and where do we get we get unanticipated damage and and and leaks why because it's concentrated and then we could get uh SEC underneath those um uh shield and Coatings be because of the issue with uh uh shielding and lack of CP you can't get the CP through it and and acidity can increase your corrosion rates for internal corrosion and then diameter makes a differ difference wall thickness resistance to the third party damage but more than that how how about the toughness of the pipe you you could you could have a heavy wall uh you know with a with a a uh x30 pipe but but it has no resistance it's subject to cracking when it's hit no matter how thick it is additional ground cover reduces the likelihood of hits yes and what are we getting uh uh up and down our pipelines because of the flooding uh we're getting erosion soil erosion case Crossings help help but now now we do uh HDD so so deepers is not always better sometimes uh that's another issue uh H H HDD Crossings another subject another day but anyway uh we need to look at mitigation you know to prevent you know you know uh controlling uh preventing third party how do we do it who who's minding the store controlling corrosion detecting unattended releases minimizing con consequences uh maybe we have to reduce the pressure improvements you know what what can we do what's our risk control options uh you know modifications more testing maintenance activities repair replace renew Personnel training Leak Detection emergency response and so on and keeping keeping that Communications up with the public and Regulatory Agencies and of course reassessment and and and here's your reassessment factors I I highlighted this one the rate of degradation or corrosion rates everybody goes with that oh yeah uh yeah we got a corrosion rate of two or three Mills per year well what about the number of repairs what about the leaks what about the causes what about the potential consequences what about the quality you know what about like similar analysis in you know in other segments or sections of the pipe what's going on here changing service of or operating are we keeping up with you know what's happening on a pipeline it's not just the rate of degradation why are we even EX experiencing it we need to look at these things that's all part of reassessment not not just uh take one number okay we got our corrosion rate we know what's going on not enough okay so so we got a baseline plan and we got uh so we talked about the Baseline plan initial Gathering the factors we get the pipeline anomalies the various uh uh you know uh you know with II and hydro static or da data pipeline repair anomalies defects must be analyzed who gets out in the field and really looks at these defects and understands them how many people get out of the out of the office and really understand what's going on and then the tools and techniques and and I'm going to we're going to talk about AMP and nce a little bit later okay so so we could bring this in all right so so this is why I bring up a lot of these things okay the framework you know Gathering reviewing integrating data but it's more than a framework it's the people it's it's it's how how it's integrated the tools the mitigation you know do we have is it is it working like all the gears are turning in all in the same direction the program evaluation the communications plan your management of change does it really work you know does it go up not just up and down the hierarchy but across the company Integrity management plan quality control Assurance you know is that really happening I I wrote like I said I wrote a paper who's minding the store okay so what is the goal yeah we have great goals you know it must be comprehensive systematic and integrated is it really integrated prescriptive process must provide all inspection and detection and mitigation yeah yeah we could check the box on this kind of stuff but what about the performance-based utilizes more extensive risk analysis who's handling that risk program do they really understand you know how the how how the world Works in in in in that company and then you got to have smes that's what I'm talking about subject matter experts that have some experience that truly understand what's going on okay so we got guiding principles the impant shall sh you know shall be built into you know uh new pipeline systems that includes the planning design and construction it's too late if it wasn't included in other words feedback needs to come back from the field are we using the right codings I know one company is trying something different they're use using a a uh a a uh a two two layer cating now instead of uh just plain fbe they're trying it out that that has been my biggest complaint in the industry is is we haven't kept up with the Coatings as compared to the higher strength Steels that we've been using the x7s or x8s or even x100s the coding systems haven't kept up because they're the same Mill thickness that that goes on we got now now now now most most pipe new pipelines are in in in a uh uh Corridor with with power lines we're sharing the same RightWay are we thinking about that when we build that pipeline Integrity management is continually evolving information integration is the key component integration you know heard that word back in two back in uh when when the Integrity rule came out in 2003 and we're still not truly integrated maybe AI will begin to bring bring it in together this is this we need to get start moving on that you know that can look at all all of the factors you know and bring bring this data in of course again risk don't minimize risk and assessing risk to the pipeline Integrity is a continuous and then I just changed this this morning and say daily process I'm sorry uh I feel that strongly about it because I was involved in it and I know what it took new technology should be evaluated and Implement anytime you know with there's there could be a cost savings we should be looking at that uh you know the pipeline industry is a little bit stogy in a sense of not moving ahead sometimes this is this is just a plan uh I just took took this out of a u a document but this is the kind of thing we we need something like this you know that has it all in here and and how's it going to be done this is just Ju Just Just a format we need to go beyond that so so let's think about it threat identification 22 threats which ones are we after Gathering viewing and and integrating data what about the risk is the risk program you know is it detecting you know what threat or threats that need to be looked at are they evaluated we need to identify uh the potential impact by the threat and so on so forth then then we could do our in Integrity assessment and then we need to be looking at responses mitigation there there it it needs to be a fully integrated process with all the wheels turning you know with this threat identification do we really understand the threat or threats you know you know we have we get these unanticipated events that occur and and and and this this becomes a problem I got to watch my time uh so Integrity assessment overview uh you know this is the typical thing screening you got your mediates got to be done now scheduled monitored uh you do do your direct exams um do your AR string Cals your defects and then determine what what what type of defects they are whether they're time dependent like corrosion and things of this nature okay stable and and then time independent that means uh they are unanticipated we we got our class location potential impacts uh areas I'm not going to get into this but we all know about the schools hospitals and Child Care Centers retirement communities so on so forth uh your measurement uh uh and so on so for was based on the 30-inch pipe at a th000 PSI again very similar to what uh uh uh 1160 had communication uh necessary to ensure the appropriate individuals have the uh and authorities have the information about operator system uh and their integrity and then what appropriate uh Personnel are involved and so on so forth internal and and then then we need to be looking at U the management of change mocc reasons for the change and so on so so the authority the analysis of the implications the acquis position a permits documentation TVC traceable verifiable complete Communications have changed to affected parties time limitations and again smmes qualification of Staff performance measures metrics how many leaks have we had incidents number of miles of pipeline inspected versus versus uh program requirements number of scheduled repair and then of course the number of mediate repairs this is all part of the program so we kind of reversed ordered it but I I just just wanted to show you what uh we should be thinking about thinking about and immediate is like mediate we need to look at performance measures uh the processes lagging and leading I'm not going to get into this but uh you know uh but but we need to be looking at you know uh uh hopefully it's not leaks per mile and so on so forth but we need to get beyond that okay and here's some of the stuff uh we we need to look at is is the preventing controlling detecting minimizing and then last but not not least is pre pressure reduction uh here's some of the performance metrics uh again you could use this as as a guidance I'm not going to get in into the um specifics of it but I just wanted to uh get into uh Nace oh let's go back here uh spo1 0102 this is II because everybody does II okay at least they should be doing it and and and of course uh you need to look at that document that standard practice 012 they just come out with another docu um you know regarding uh um and and even the old document had Integrity management but now they come out with a new one you know pipeline Integrity management methods selection and implementation it's called SP 0113 s uh this SP provides the guidance for selecting and implementing the you know your pipeline Integrity management methods Technologies and processes so here's another p here's another tool in the tool box okay to assess mitigate threats to pipeline Integrity so we should take a look at this uh these are the kind of things we need to be looking at I'm going to spec strictly stick with these guys uh the 1102 uh I mean the 0102 uh uh that's the month in the year it came out in case anybody's wondering corelation oh I'm sorry a correlation of the II results using R string after removal you know so on so forth after sufficient sampling of soils pipe environment mag at mag particle H for cracking should should be conducted this is you know aut uh automated UT shearwave and other non-destructive techniques may be required and of course photo documentation not if required will be required I don't like that word if they have it in there so uh that's a minimum and and and and here's your um you you know your excavation data we should be looking at codings how how do we get you know you know it it was like the Columbia disaster you know the shuttle you know the tiles we should be looking at the coding we should be looking you know what's going on and and and what's behind it uh the history any existing uh construction and CP data it isn't just measuring the the metal loss we need to be look how how do we do a root cause Starts Here coating starts with the soils as long as that coating doesn't fail and and you don't have aggressive soils no problem unfortunately we don't understand that until it fails we should be looking at pipe modifications repairs and other operational issues this is a SPO 02 and I want to keep keep in line with uh our folks here you know to keep it to 45 minutes so we're coming to uh right into conclusions so I'll spend a little time here so we should be managing the Integrity you know of the pipeline system is the primary goal we got that it should be comprehensive systematic and integrated focus on integrated I think we got the comprehensive and all that other stuff but are we truly integrated you know are we talking to each other internally and externally that's the key and then the other one is performance-based integrity Management program utilizes data and more extensive risk analysis again risk you that's where it happens we're talking about Dynamic data that's your II data and static data that's that's your attribute data you know your pipelines that usually doesn't change unless you do a a a relocation or a change out or something and that enables the operator to achieve a greater degree of flexibility to meet or exceed the requirements of the regulations uh sorry I rushed a little bit folks but uh I appreciate you attending I'd like to thank you very much and now I'll turn it over to our staff
