Abstract: Pipelines are subject to multiple threats, often requiring the integration and engineering evaluation of data from multiple in-line tools and other data to discovery conditions defined by regulation. Pipeline operators must determine the impact of such conditions on immediate integrity-pipeline integrity at the time of the assessment. They must also consider future integrity-the growth of time-dependent threats prior to the next inspection. Depending upon the number and the condition of pipelines to be assessed, data evaluation can be a relatively straightforward task or can become extremely complex. In the case of large amounts of pipeline data or numerous discovered USDOT Conditions, the application of computer algorithms to align data and higher-level assessment methods can conserve valuable discovery cycle time and minimize costly repairs by allowing operators to leverage actual data rather than rely on conservative assumptions.
