SESSION 1

The Role of In Line Inspection Standards in Pipeline Integrity Management

The Presenters SGA is proud to have Bruce Nestleroth, Battelle; Neb Uzelac, NDT Systems; Bryce Brown, Rosen Group; Bernie Selig, Process Performance Improvement Consultants; Keith Leewis, Process Performance Improvement Consultants; Peter van der Veer, Shell Global Solutions; Pam Moreno, Tuboscope and Bryan Melan, Marathon Pipeline as presenters for this session and thanks them for their participation q q

Bruce Nestleroth is Senior Research Scientist in Battelle's Pipeline Technology Center. Bruce earned his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia where he studied ultrasonic wave propagation. He is responsible for the inspection technology development effort at the Pipeline Simulation Facility at Battelle. For the past 18 years, he has been advancing magnetic flux leakage and other electromagnetic technologies for internal inspection of pipelines, developing and quantifying methods for detecting corrosion, cracking and mechanical damage. Bruce organizes a workshop on Pipeline Inspection Using Intelligent Pigs held twice a year in Columbus, and presents the MFL portion of the workshop.

SESSION 1

Dr. Neb Uzelac Technology Consultant NDT Systems & Services AG

Neb Uzelac has B.Sc., M.A. and Ph.D. in engineering science from University of Belgrade, Yugoslavia. He joined Pipetronix GmbH in Karlsruhe, Germany in 1993, as manager special applications in In-line inspection. In 1995 he moved to Pipetronix Ltd. in Toronto, Canada, as technology manager and moved on to be a technology consultant in the merged Pipetronix and PII. Hes dealt with application of NDE techniques for internal pipeline inspection, in recent years mostly for crack detection. As a member of NACE he has chaired the Task Group which prepared the state-of-theart report NACE TR 35100 "In-Line Nondestructive Inspection of Pipelines", and is a member of the task group that prepared the NACE Standard RP0102-2002 and is vicechair of TEG 267 In-line Inspection of Pipelines. He was a member of APIs work group that created API 1160 standard and member of the work group preparing API1163 (ILI performance standard). Neb is working in the field of pipeline integrity, in-line inspection, especially ultrasonic methods and crack detection, and represents NDT Systems & Services AG from Germany in America.

Bryce is the Manager of Integrity and Compliance for ROSEN North America in Houston, Texas. He has been with the company for 14 years and is responsible for pipeline regulations and integrity as they relate to the companys pipeline inspection business. He received a Bachelors of Science Degree in Civil Engineering from Texas A&M University. He is a member of ASME and NACE. He has held the position of President for both the In-Line Inspection Association (ILIA) and the Pigging Products and Services Association (PPSA). Bryce also represents ROSEN on the PRCI Inspection and Maintenance Technical Planning Committee. He served as the Vice-Chair of the working committee which developed API 1163, Inline Inspection Systems Qualification Standard.

Bryce Brown Manager Integrity and Compliance ROSEN North America

Bernie has consulted for the pipeline industry for more than 10 years, especially in the areas of risk, risk management, safety and industry consensus standards. Recently, Bernie was the editor of ASME's B31.8S supplement to B31.8, Integrity Management Programs for Gas Pipelines. He is presently assisting the pipeline industry in the development of standards to qualify in-line inspection systems- API1163 , ASNT ILI PQ-2003 and NACE RP 0102 and is acting facilitator for the development of B31Q, Pipeline Personnel Qualification.

SESSION 1

Dr. Keith Leewis Consultant P-PIC

Keith Leewis has an extensive engineering analysis foundation honed while managing the US industry's gas and oil R&D Program, and as a tenured professor, plus an excellent knowledge of pipeline construction, welding, maintenance, metallurgy, and full scale mechanical testing, developed while a senior engineer for one of the largest gas transmission systems, in two large integrated steel mills and as Director of the Welding Institute of Canada. He has recently chaired several symposia, technical sessions and workshops for a variety of organizations: GRI, INGAA, ASME, CEPA, NACE. He was the technical representative on the DOT Office of Pipeline Safety Joint Risk Assessment Quality Action Teams that wrote the Risk Management Standard and Guidelines for Performance Management to demonstrate alternative regulatory management to Congress. While at Gas Technology Institute and Gas Research Institute from 1995 to 2003, he managed the technical programs supporting pipeline integrity which included the INSAR programs for both GTI and PRCI. Optical, IR and radar satellite technologies were evaluated for methane leak detection, notification of unapproved heavy equipment encroachments onto pipeline rights of way, plus the quantification and prediction of land slides and subsidence. Keith continues to transfer his broad range of integrity knowledge and experience as a member of ASME B31.8 for the design of Natural Gas Pipelines, B31.8S Gas Pipeline Integrity Standard, NACE RP0502 for External Corrosion Direct Assessment and supports the development of an ILI umbrella standard API 1163 for systems, ASNT for people and NACE RP0102 for operations.

Peter van der Veer has more than 30 years experience within Shell in the area of materials and inspection, the last 10 years focusing on the inspection of pipelines and pipework
