Bich Mr Nguyen N. Bich is the lead engineer with Pangea Solutions Inc, which is a consulting firm that specializes in providing comprehensive integrity management solutions for equipment and pipelines. He was also the Head of Corrosion Engineering with Shell Canada from 1993-1998. His expertise is in Pipeline integrity management and Corrosion mechanisms in oil and gas production. Since 1999, he had conducted Pipeline Integrity Management Seminars in Calgary, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Changsha (China) and Buenos Aires. He has also written numerous papers on Pipeline Corrosion in NACE and IPC Conferences. COURSE SUMMARY • To provide fundamental knowledge to suppliers, operators and service companies to understand basic issues and their practical solutions related to the design, construction, commissioning, operations, maintenance and suspension of pipelines. • Develop an effective and efficient Pipeline Integrity Management Strategy based on: o Understand and identify the deterioration mechanisms prevailing in all phases of operations and their consequences of failures o Formulate and implement dynamic mitigation measures appropriate to the prevailing mechanisms and not rely on a single static fixed program o Monitor the effectiveness of the mitigation measures based on a monitoring and sampling program appropriate to the prevailing deterioration mechanisms and implement in-time corrective actions if and when required o Validate/verify the physical pressure containment capability of the pipelines by suitable inspection techniques based on sound analyses of available and prioritized information • Develop highly effective performance-based corrosion mitigation programs to assure pipeline integrity and to comply with regulatory, industry and corporate codes, standards and recommended practices to extend reliable pipeline life. • Identify a suite of internal corrosion monitoring techniques and their inherent limitations for buried or submerged pipelines. • Understand corrosion economic evaluations which can be effectively used to gain senior management acceptance and buy-in for corr
