Downstream

The Oil and Gas industry is commonly divided into the three major sectors: Upstream, which includes oil and gas exploration and production;
Inspection

Inspection is the practice of examining the physical condition of materials, components, or entire pieces of equipment in order to determine if and for how long it will operate as intended. Inspection plays a vital role in any
Maintenance

Maintenance is the practice of protecting or restoring equipment in order to maintain function and integrity. As a critical component of an asset integrity...
Mechanical Integrity (MI)

Mechanical Integrity (MI) can be defined as the management of critical process equipment to ensure it is designed and installed correctly, and that it operates and is maintained properly (i.e. no leaks and all elements are fit for service). A mechanical integrity program should...
Midstream

The Oil and Gas industry is commonly divided into the three major sectors: Upstream, which includes oil and gas exploration and...
Nondestructive Testing (NDT)

Nondestructive Testing (NDT) consists of a variety of non-invasive inspection techniques used to evaluate material properties, components, or entire process units. The techniques can also be utilized to detect, characterize, or measure the...
Pigging

Pigging is an in-line inspection (ILI) technique in which devices referred to “pigs” are inserted into pipelines to perform cleaning and inspection activities. Pigging can be conducted on a...
Pipeline Integrity Management

Pipeline Integrity Management (PIM) is the cradle-to-grave approach of understanding and operating pipelines in a safe, reliable manner. PIM programs are systems managed by pipeline owner-operators that consider all stages of the pipeline life cycle, from conception, to...
Pipelines

Pipelines are metal or plastic tubes of varying sizes used to transport petroleum (e.g., crude oil, hydrocarbon liquids, refined petroleum products, etc.) and natural gas products long distances (generally underground) from production sites to...

New inline inspections and integrity management systems allow operators to understand the complexities and economics of terminals’ and station’s complex aging pipeline infrastructure.
The Current State of Pipeline Integrity Management

September/October 2014 Inspectioneering Journal

The pigging industry has developed a tremendous range of techniques and technologies, and it is probably fair to say that there are few pipelines in the world that cannot be cleaned and inspected, although the success of such operations will often...
Gains with Advanced Data Assessment in ILI: Leveraging pipeline data to eliminate risk, prioritize and schedule necessary repairs

May/June 2015 Inspectioneering Journal

For traditional in-line inspection (ILI) vendors, considering 21.4 miles of a piggable 4” diesel pipeline is typically not a big deal. However, significant threats like 3rd party damage and external corrosion seem to come with the territory in...

Overview

The Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Management (PPIM) Conference & Exhibition is the industry's only forum devoted exclusively to pigging for pipeline maintenance and inspection, engineering assessment, repair, risk management and NDE. In 2025, the 37th international PPIM Conference will draw roughly 4,000 attendees and over 170 companies exhibiting the latest tools and technologies for pipeline pigging, inspection, repair and integrity management.
