TOTAL Indonesia (TI) operates a network of onshore and offshore pipelines in the Mahakan Delta in East Kalimantan Province on the island of Borneo.
The pipeline system consists of a network of over 240 pipelines ranging in diameter from 6” to 42” and with a total combined length of 1150 kilometres.
Ionik, through our Indonesian sister company, PT Wood Group Indonesia, was contracted by TI to develop and implement a Pipeline Integrity Management System (PIMS) which included a Risk Based Inspection (RBI) program.
The two-year, multimillion-dollar project included a detailed assessment of the company's existing management system using an assessment matrix developed by Ionik. The matrix identified fifteen key management elements including aspects such as HSE, procedures, communication, integrity management and audits.
The company's system was analysed and assessed against industry best practice, and we developed a framework of benchmarks to be used to improve the existing management system. These benchmarks were also used during the audit purposes, to analyse system effectiveness.
Ionik also conducted risk assessments on all the pipelines, the results of which were modelled using 4-Site (Risk Based Inspection software developed by Netlink Inspection in association with Ionik) to rank the associated risks and provide a schedule for risk-directed inspection of the pipelines.
The Pipeline Integrity Management System, once implemented, was interfaced with TOTAL Indonesia's Global Information System (GIS).
