10 COLLABORATION Why do we need Collaborative Research? How does this come together with Company Internal Research and Development? What are the Results and Benefits of Collaborative Research? Slide 10

11 COLLABORATION Programmatic / Process Driven ILI pro gram mat ic adjective: programmatic 1. of the nature of or according to a program, schedule, or method. "a programmatic approach to change" Slide 11

12 COLLABORATION Current Subject(s) ILI Slide 12

13 PIPE PROPERTIES Pipeline As-Built Data Validation: line installations - valves - tees - taps girth welds / long seam welds objects attached to the pipe or touching the pipe; - sleeves - cathodic protection points - metal objects in proximity eccentric/shorted casings Slide 13

14 PIPE PROPERTIES Seam Welded vs. Seamless (MFL) Slide 14

15 PIPE PROPERTIES PRCI Project NDE 4A; Determining Pipe Properties Using ILI Technology The objective of the analysis is to determine if information, direct or anecdotal, can be derived from existing ILI data that relate to line pipe properties. Slide 15

16 PIPE PROPERTIES PRCI Project NDE 4A; Determining Pipe Properties Using ILI Technology Slide 16

17 PIPE PROPERTIES Pipeline As-Built Data Validation: Verifying "as-built" status In-Line-Inspection data are utilized within the operators GIS Data Integration for Assessment Discrepancy Analysis Addresses current requirements; Traceable, Verifiable & Complete Slide 17

18 ILI AS ALTERNATIVE OPTION EMAT ILI Service Dedicated process for qualified and validated crack detection, coating identification and disbondment detection ILI Crack Detection Coating Disbondment Coating Identification Slide 18

19 ILI AS ALTERNATIVE OPTION ROSEN Operator Secondary Information ILI Pipeline Integrity Management Program Preliminary Report Verification NDT / DT Data Analysis Feedback Loop Final Report Result Validation NDT Technician Onsite Slide 19

20 ILI AS ALTERNATIVE OPTION ILI ILI is but just one part of the overall process. Slide 20

21 COLLABORATION Participation in Conferences and Symposia (Presenting, Sharing, Influencing the Technology Community) Development of Industry Standards (API, ASNT, CSA, NACE, POF) Development of Industry Training Programs (Clarion, NACE, others) Participation in Joint Industry Projects (JIP) (Operator Driven, Engineering Consultancy, University) Participation in Industry Research Programs (APIA, EPRG, INGAA, JIP, PHMSA-BAA, PRCI, University) Slide 21

22 COLLABORATION - INDUSTRY ASSOCIATIONS Slide 22

23 SUMMARY Innovations are ideas and inventions which are successfully applied in the market ROSEN as a technology driven service company invests substantial capital into internal research & development Current development trends are closing the gaps on operational challenges in the field of pipeline inspection technologies Technology driven service companies rely on Collaboration with Industry to turn internal research into innovative and process driven solutions ILI Slide 23
