Presentation Overview • Direct Assessment Overview • Application of ECDA in Difficult to Assess Environments – Challenges Posed by Facilities and Casings – Traditional Tools – Area Potential – Earth Current Survey (APEC) – Other Technologies – Guided Wave Testing (GWT) • Case Study and Examples • Guided Wave Testing - Overview of Fundamentals, Technology, and Applications SLIDE 2
Direct Assessment (DA) • DA is one of the four methods used to verify pipeline integrity as mandated by DOT – Hydrostatic testing – In-Line Inspection (pigging) – Direct Assessment (DA) – Other Technologies (such as GWT) • This method requires filing a Notification with PHMSA (OTN) • Based upon the threats of concern for a pipe segment, DA can be used to assess pipe integrity in regards to: – External Corrosion – Internal Corrosion – Stress Corrosion Cracking • DA is an applied practice consisting of four well documented steps – Pre-Assessment – Indirect Inspections – Direct Inspections – Post Assessment SLIDE 3
