Observations and Recommendations
PIM System Goal

To ensure protection of the public and the
environment by continuously managing
threats to pipeline integrity

Show operator compliance with Annex II of
DS 081-07

Minimize operating risk to ensure Corporate
goals a met
PIM Scope

Applies to all pipeline systems that
transport natural gas and petroleum liquids

Pipeline system includes all parts of
physical facilities through which gas and
liquids are transported:
 Line pipe
 Valves
 Compressor, meter and delivery stations
 Liquid pump stations and tank farms
Why PIM?

Operatorsrecognize serious potential
consequences of pipeline operations

PIM enables operator to demonstrate to
OSINERGMIN that pipeline and facilities
are:
 suitablefor initial commissioning
 safe and reliable for service years after they
have been put into service
How Does PIM Work?

PIM employs a systematic, integrated
approach to manage the long term safety
and integrity of pipeline systems

Through operating history, potential threats
to safe and reliable pipeline operation are
identified and mitigated
How Does PIM Work? cont’d

Management systems and programs form
the foundation of integrity management
 records management
 condition monitoring
 data analysis
 mitigation programs developed in response to
hazards presented to the pipeline

Risk Management
 ASME B31.8S-2004
Managing System Integrity of
Gas Pipelines
ASME B31.8S

Scope
 Applies to onshore gas pipelines.
 Designed to provide Operators with
information to develop and implement an
effective integrity management program.
ASME B31.8S

Integrity Management Principles
 Engineered into new pipeline systems
 Customized to meet unique pipeline conditions
 Program must be flexible
 Periodically evaluated and modified to meet
changes in operating environment
ASME B31.8S

Integrity Management Principles Cont’d
 Assessing risks is important
 Information integration key when performing
risk assessments
 Requires commitment from all operating staff
 ASME B31.8S

Integrity Management
Program Elements

Integrity Performance Communication Change Quality Control

Management Plan Plan Management Control
Plan Plan Plan
ASME B31.8S

Integrity Management Plan includes:
 Description of risk analysis method
 Documentation of data for each section
 Analysis for determining assessment intervals
and mitigation methods
 Performance matrix that confirms performance
based options
ASME B31.8S

Performance Plan - Requires operator to:
 Collect performance information
 Periodically evaluate success of program
 Evaluate effectiveness of its management
systems and processes
 Evaluate new technologies for use in the
program
ASME B31.8S

Communications Plan
 Plan for effective communication with:

Employees

The public

Emergency responders

Local officials

Jurisdictional authorities
ASME B31.8S

Change Management Plan
 Pipeline systems and operating environment
seldom static.
 Plan includes a systematic process to ensure
that risks associated with:

changes to the pipeline system are evaluated before
being implemented

Changes to environment in which pipeline operates
are evaluated
ASME B31.8S

Quality Control Plan
 Includesdocumentation for integrity
management plan
 Allows operator to demonstrate that they meet
requirements of integrity management program
 Requires integrity program audit including:

Processes

Inspections

Mitigation activities

Prevention activities

Management Plan Process Flow

Identifypotential pipeline impact by threat

Gather review and integrate data

Assess risk

Assess integrity
ASME B31.8S Integrity
Management Plan Process Flow

Develop response to integrity assessment
including:

Repair methods

Prevention practices

Setting inspection intervals

Update, integrate and review data

Reassess risk
Decreto Supremo 081-2007-EM
Reglamento de Transporte de
Hidrocarburos por Ductos
DS 081-2007-EM Development

Previous edition DS 041-99-EM did not
include specific requirements for pipeline
integrity management plan

Regulators (US &Canada) started to require
pipeline operators to have integrity plans

OSINERG started to prepare requirements
with support from CIDA
DS 081-2007-EM

Establishes regulations and standards for the
transportation of hydrocarbons by cross
country pipelines

Regulation Includes provisions:
 To grant Concessions
 To establish Transportation Service Conditions
 To establish Transportation Rates
 To establish and safety regulations
 To establish environmental regulations
DS 081-2007-EM

Includes 4 Annexes
I - safety provisions for design, construction,
operation and abandonment of pipelines
 II - new requirements for pipeline integrity
management
 III - scope diagrams from B31.4 &B31.8
 IV - emergency procedures
 DS 081-07 Gives OSINERGMIN

Authority to Supervise/Oversee:
 Compliance with the safety regulations for
design, construction, operation, maintenance
and abandonment of the pipeline (Article 70 b)
 Establishment and execution of pipeline
integrity system (Article 70 e)
DS 081-07 Gives OSINERGMIN

Authority to Request Reports from the

Operator:
 technical information in the form it requests
(Article 36 g)
 the information it requires for the compliance of
its functions (Article 37)
 The integrity system reports and documents
(Annex II Article 24)
 DS 081-2007-EM

Annex II Pipeline Integrity System

ANNEX II Title I General

 PIM audit
Annex II Title V OSINERGMIN

OSINERGMIN is required to supervise the
Operator’s PIMS

Supervision includes
 determiningfrequency of its inspections
 Requirements for reporting, testing and
documentation
Annex II Title VI High
Consequence Areas

Determined in several ways:
 Class 3 or 4 locations are considered high
consequence areas
 Locations inside the Area of the Circle of
Impact that has a specified number of occupied
buildings
PIM Implementation Schedule

Operator to present OSINERGMIN PIMS
implementation program by November
2008.

OSINERGMIN has 6 months after receipt
to approve implementation plan
Annex II Ongoing Pipeline
Integrity Management

By actively managing threats to integrity, a
pipeline will remain in good condition for
many years

Operators must take integrity matters
seriously and aggressively manage risks
Observations and
Recommendations

Article 21 Annex I requires that high
consequence areas have a SCADA but
SCADA must apply to the whole pipeline

Article 1 Annex II indicates that PIMS
applies only to high consequence areas but
should apply to entire pipeline

Article 94 defines the ROW as 12.5 meters
on each side of center line of pipe making
maintenance difficult
Observations and
Recommendations

Importantto appreciate everyone's role
responsibilities
 Operator has the total responsibility for the
safety and integrity of their pipeline
 OSINERGMIN has the responsibility to
oversee and supervise the application of the
regulations
