| Description |
This was a Joint
Industry Project (JIP). The objective was to develop risk-based models and software tools
for estimating the risk levels associated with a given segment of pipe in a pipeline
system. The program focused on risk associated with failure of pipelines, rather than
facilities such as compression and pumping stations. The program consisted of the following
five projects: (1) Risk-Based Methodology for Pipeline Integrity Maintenance; (2) Model
for the Assessment of Failure Consequences; (3) Risk-Based Optimization of Corrosion
Maintenance Activities; (4) Risk-Based Optimization of Large Ground Movement Maintenance
Activities; and (5) Risk-Based Optimization of SCC. MMS
extended the contract for the project in 1998 to: a) add new modules to complete the
offshore suite of computer programs; b) add new capabilities to improve existing programs;
c) further testing and verification of existing beta programs; and d) on-going activities
related to program management, software quality assurance, user support and training. |
| Progress |
The structure of all
costs in the model was finalized and associated influence diagram nodes were developed. An
environmental impact model was developed which defines the potential impact severity at a
given site. This measure of spill site damage potential was combined with the residual
spill volume and a measure of product toxicity to develop a final descriptor of spill
impact. Utility functions for cost, effective spill volume, and loss of life were
developed. All tasks planned under the original
contract are complete and all deliverables were submitted to JIP participants.
Although some of the reports are marked confidential, the
proprietary period ended in 2004. |
