Course Description
This course delves into the unique challenges and considerations involved in maintaining the integrity and operational efficiency of CO2 pipeline systems. Drawing from established industry frameworks such as DNV RP F104, the program provides comprehensive coverage of integrity management systems, operational controls, risk assessment methodologies, and contingency planning specific to CO2 transportation.
Participants gain valuable insights into contaminant and water management, inspection techniques including intelligent pigging, corrosion prevention strategies, and flow management protocols essential for safe CO2 pipeline operations. The course incorporates emerging lessons learned from pioneering CCUS projects worldwide, including Chevron's Gorgon, Denbury Gulf Coast pipeline failures, and ENI Liverpool Bay CCS.
What you will achieve
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Identify and mitigate emerging threats unique to CCUS pipelines
- Manage contaminants, water content, and hydrate formation risks
- Address polymer compatibility and material degradation
- Improve operational decision-making using real lessons from global CCS projects
- Translate lessons learned into practical inspection, repair, and contingency strategies
- Evaluate inspection and monitoring strategies for dense-phase CO2 service
- Understand intelligent pigging, leak detection, and cathodic protection monitoring
- Strengthen emergency preparedness and regulatory compliance for CCUS infrastructure
How the course is delivered
The course combines expert-led lectures with case studies drawn from pioneering global CCS projects and real pipeline incidents. Participants work through practical inspection, repair, and contingency scenarios based on the DNV RP F104 framework.
The programme emphasises translating lessons learned from existing CCS projects into actionable integrity strategies.
