An Innovative IR 4.0 Solution Against Leaks Utilizing a Fully Integrated Pipelines Management System

Abstract

This paper demonstrates the Saudi Aramco Khurais Facility (KhPD) successful commissioning of the A Fully Integrated Pipelines Management System, in an effort to enhance its environmental emission performance. The project team conducted an assessment conceptually right from the beginning, to ensure that the value creations from this initiative can be realized, and the project remain cost effective and safely executed while meeting environmental objectives. Following successful deployment, the Khurais team carried out post installation performance assessment to ensure the outcomes and objectives from this project has been impacted positively. This paper covers the fully implemented solution to manage pipelines assets and enchantments followed by Saudi Aramco Khurais producing facility (KhCPF) Objectives: Share how a corrosion challenge of multi-phase flow within pipelines led to installation of a comprehensive solution to Pipeline Management Systems (common header connects all compressors) and how it was resolved through integration between two different systems. In addition, highlight how this approach enhanced the pipelines reliability, safety and most important the big environmental impact that helped Saudi Aramco to reduce its carbon footprint.
