Subsea Pipeline Integrity Management Course Overview
September 10-12 2008 • Houston, Texas
Technical innovations in integrity management of subsea pipeline systems have been
characterized by new design concepts and advanced engineering analysis techniques.
The advanced engineering analysis is mainly based on finite element analysis,
computer and information technologies and applications of risk and reliability methods.
The purpose of this course is to review the new concepts and analysis methods and
criteria, as well as to explain the mechanics theory that is the essential underpinning for
these technical advances. Read the course program.
Learning Objectives
This course will provide an in-depth review of engineering principles and practical operational considerations in integrity management, including theory, analysis and assessment for subsea pipeline systems.
Benefits of Attending
Participants will receive a comprehensive set of Course Notes, and the book Subsea Pipelines and Risers (by Prof. Yong Bai and Dr. Qiang Bai, Elsevier, 2005). The delegates will learn industry practice in integrity
management for subsea pipeline systems.
