This project involved the installation of a corrosion monitoring system
(CMS) for a 105km crude oil pipeline, as part of an initiative to improve
the integrity of strategic crude lines in Iraq. The project scope included
engineering, procurement, and installation of the CMS, as well as the
necessary training and handover to the client.
The specific activities carried out during the project include:
- Pipeline route survey: A survey was conducted along the 105km crude oil pipeline route to assess the condition of the pipeline and identify potential areas of corrosion.
- Intelligent pigging report analysis: An analysis was carried out on the results of the previous intelligent pigging of the pipeline, which identified areas of corrosion and damage to the pipeline.
- Detailed engineering: Detailed engineering studies were carried out to design the mechanical, pipeline, instrumentation, and civil aspects of the CMS system to be installed.
- Procurement: The necessary equipment and materials for the CMS system were procured and delivered to the site.
- Installation and commissioning: The CMS system was installed along the pipeline route and commissioned to ensure that it was functioning optimally and in accordance with the project specifications.
- Training and handover: Training was provided to the client's personnel on how to use and maintain the CMS system. Finally, the CMS system was handed over to the client.
The successful completion of this project required close collaboration between the client, contractors, engineers, and project management teams. The end result is a modern and reliable CMS system that will enable the monitoring and detection of corrosion along the 105km crude oil pipeline.
