Failure of deepwater pipelines and risers A masterclass in risk mitigation

Formerly Integrity management of subsea pipelines - Part 2 Course information
Level: Duration: Practitioner 4 days

This course builds an in-depth technical knowledge of integrity management issues affecting deepwater risers and flowlines. Learn directly from case-studies of real pipeline failures, reviewing why the failures occurred and understanding how lessons learned can be applied to your pipelines. Delegates will develop an understanding of efficient ways to perform integrity assessments and manage corrosion defects in order to build integrity into all phases of offshore pipeline projects to improve operating costs and reduce the risk of pipeline failure.
