| Abstract | ||||
| Pipelines represent a large capital cost for oil organizations. Therefore, corrosion failures have significant economic impact with several cost components, particularly repair and loss of transportation capacity. Corrosion is a growing cause of failures in aged pipelines. Thus, corrosion analysis is a vital task for the management of pipeline integrity. This paper presents a simple routine to monitor the corrosion defects in pipelines based on control charts and simple statistical analysis. A real life case is studied based on maximum corrosion volume (MCV). Other dimensions can be adopted to make auxiliary conclusions. This routine enables maintenance personnel to predict the reliability of pipelines and effectively modify inspection and maintenance plans for next part of pipeline life | ||||
