Piping — Our Goal: Maximized Uptime, Predictable Performance & Safe Operations

Viking’s comprehensive integrity management program provides a centralized engineering and field operations team to safely design, operate and maintain a facility at its maximum value and capacity, while ensuring compliance with legislation and company policies.

Comprehensive Integrity Management

Our proactive and comprehensive integrity management approach provides well-defined and cost-effective pathways and solutions to maintain the integrity of our client’s assets by combining the engineering studies such as modeling, risk identification, planning and management, and field techniques for inspection, maintenance and surveillance, process efficiency and optimization, and rehabilitation operations.

We understand that effective decisions are not made in silos! Our corrosion and integrity experts leverage the experience of process engineers, production chemists, flow assurance specialists, production and completions engineers to make recommendations you can use!

A Simplified, Yet Rigorous Approach to Root Cause Analysis

We have many options for conducting root cause analyses (RCA) including TapRooT™ and CAST/STPA. The method described here is the method developed by GATE to simplify the analysis while maintaining adequate rigor.

Development of the NACE “MR-01-75” and NACE “TM-01-77” Standards: Part II – Accelerated Material Qualification Testing in Sour Environments at Near Atmospheric Pressure

This paper is Part II of a two-part series intended to narrate the history, some of which has been forgotten over time, leading up to the publication of the first Material Requirement (MR-01-75) standard prepared by NACE and its subsequent auxiliary standards.

This is Part I of a two-part series intended to narrate the “lost” history leading up to the publication of the first Material Requirement (MR-01-75) standard prepared by NACE (now AMPP) and its subsequent auxiliary standards.

BSEE'S New Approach To Inspections

In recent years, the BSEE Safety Inspection Program section has been developing a risk-based approach to augment these inspections.

Choosing & Using Condition Monitoring Locations (CMLs)

The building blocks of a robust inspection program are condition monitoring locations (CMLs). As defined by API 510 and API 570, CMLs are designated locations on pressure vessels or piping systems where periodic external examinations are conducted to assess condition.

Fit-For-Purpose Integrity Management Of Seawater Injection Systems

Seawater injection is a vital tool for the economic success of some projects and those projects need to ensure that the seawater can be effectively delivered from the seawater source to the reservoir.

Integrity Management Plan Pitfalls & Best Practices

This article will outline the challenges during integrity management, and the best practices that ultimately deliver a coordinated, effective, and cost-optimized IM plan.

Risk Based Inspection

In determination of consequence and risk assignment, multiple aspects are considered such as the impact of failure on the health and safety of personnel and community in the impacted area, environment, cost of recovery (cleaning, maintenance, extent of operation, repairs) and business.

Subsea Integrity Management: Materials Selection & Monitoring

In this GATEKEEPER, the philosophy around the materials selection and corrosion monitoring is discussed as the primary design barrier to corrosion and cracking in critical parts of a subsea system.

The following material properties are important when understanding the limitations of API 5CT high strength steels: yield strength (YS), Charpy V-notch (CVN) impact energy, hardness and tempering.

NACE 11099: Further Analysis on M13CR-110 NACE Tm0177 Method A Test Acceptability Prediction

An empirical method for improving the predictability of NACE TM0177 Method A Tensile tests on modified 13Cr 110 ksi grade martensitic stainless steels based on an H2S/Chloride/pH function has previously been developed based on published data in order to address this uncertainty.

Collapse Strength Of Casing Subjected To Combined Load

Casing and tubing that are subjected to combined loads have higher collapse strength than previous formulas would predict, permitting the use of thinner walled, or lower strength, pipe than formerly required.
