Course Overview
The energy transition has not removed the need for rigour in internal pipeline inspection; it has added to it. Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations both accrue interest. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with this area of energy and hydrocarbon operations. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make internal pipeline inspection hard in practice. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations and revise it on evidence. Mature organisations treat this aspect of energy and hydrocarbon operations as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Improvement in internal pipeline inspection stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this strand of energy and hydrocarbon operations it covers ends in something applicable. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the energy and hydrocarbon operations capability broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
