Ensuring pipeline safety and compliance has never been more critical for today’s operators. This intensive course offers a comprehensive, practical understanding of Pipeline Integrity Management Programs (IMPs) for Hazardous Liquids Pipelines, while also covering key principles that apply to Natural Gas and Other Gas pipelines regulated by PHMSA. Participants will gain a clear understanding of both the similarities and critical differences between liquid and gas pipeline integrity regulations.

Whether you are new to pipeline integrity or seeking to sharpen your expertise, this course is designed to strengthen your skills in compliance, risk management, and program effectiveness.

Key topics include:

  • Understanding PHMSA regulations
  • Identifying pipeline segments and High Consequence Areas (HCAs
  • Developing Baseline Assessment Plans
  • Conducting risk analyses with a focus on threat identification and risk modeling
  • Selecting and applying integrity assessment methods
  • Creating repair and remediation plans
  • Implementing preventative and mitigative measures
  • Mastering information analysis and data integration for continual compliance
  • Preparing for PHMSA Integrated Audits and State Special Program Audits with practical strategies

Register now to acquire actionable knowledge and the tools needed to confidently support or lead effective integrity management initiatives within your organization.

Learning Outcomes

  • Define key terminology and understand the historical development of Pipeline Integrity Management Programs (IMPs).
  • Identify PHMSA’s jurisdiction and distinguish between regulatory requirements for liquids (Part 195) and gas (Part 192) pipelines.
  • Recognize methods for segment identification and High Consequence Area (HCA) determination for both liquid and gas pipelines.
  • Develop Baseline Assessment Plans for new construction, newly identified segments, and service conversions.
  • Conduct comprehensive risk analyses using different types of risk models and threat identification techniques.
  • Select appropriate integrity assessment methods, including in-line inspection, hydrostatic testing, direct assessments, and emerging technologies.
  • Create effective repair and remediation plans based on discovery and repair criteria.
  • Perform facility assessments of breakout tanks and other critical pipeline assets.
  • Apply preventative and mitigative measures, such as Emergency Flow Restricting Device (EFRD) analysis, rupture valve spacing, and leak detection systems.
  • Integrate required data sources to perform thorough information analysis and support decision-making.
  • Implement continual assessment protocols, including regular reviews and reassessment interval planning.
  • Measure and evaluate the effectiveness of Pipeline Integrity Management Programs.
  • Assess recent regulatory updates impacting IMP procedures and compliance requirements.
  • Address integrity management considerations for non-HCA pipelines.
  • Prepare for PHMSA Integrated Audits and State Special Program Audits through effective program documentation and management.

Instructor

Carmen Seal brings over 25 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, specializing in corrosion control, metallurgical analysis, pipeline integrity engineering, and program management. Throughout her career, she has supported and led numerous state and federal regulatory audits, including playing a key role in the NTSB investigation of a major pipeline failure.

Ms. Seal began her career as a corrosion engineer for ExxonMobil, overseeing all upstream production in the U.S. She later served as a senior pipeline integrity engineer for Enterprise Products, where she was responsible for managing the NTSB investigation into the Dixie Pipeline long-seam failure in Carmichael, Mississippi. Most recently, she retired from CITGO Petroleum, where she managed the Pipeline Integrity Program for Terminals and Pipelines and supported the Integrity Management Program for their refineries.

In addition to her professional roles across upstream, midstream, and downstream operations for three major petroleum operators, Ms. Seal has been an active member of the API Pipeline Integrity Group for the past decade.
