BASELINE SURVEY
The ongoing assessment of inspection findings will involve comparison of data with that recorded during previous inspection campaigns. This will allow trends to be extrapolated and judgments made regarding the urgency of remedial action. This process necessarily commences with the acquisition of the measurement of internally and externally taken values at the commencement of pipeline service, known as a Baseline Survey. On completion l of f the h installation ll of f the h d deepwater Pipelines, l an as-built b l survey will be undertaken by the Installation Contractor to ensure that the construction is fit for service. Similarly the Subsea Commissioning Team will undertake d t k surveys t to establish t bli h correct t functionality f ti lit and d initial i iti l i integrity t it of f th the system. Together g the As-Built and Commissioning g surveys y will f form the Baseline Survey y against which future inspection will be measured.

Traditionally, external inspection, of deepwater pipelines is performed using work ROVs deployed from DP ROV support vessels. These vessels are expensive, and they may not be available when they are needed most. In deep waters, ROVs become heavy to handle from these vessels, because of long umbilicals; and they become prone to breakdowns. ROV inspections of long transmission lines can be very slow and may take many months to complete end to end Weather downtime is also an issue for ROV support vessels when working in harsh and hostile environments

An optimum IMR plan aims to strike an appropriate balance between the f ll i objectives: following bj i maximising the availability of the pipeline system during its operating life by maintaining and preserving its integrity, thus maximising revenue; minimising inspection, intervention and rectification measures through the life of the pipeline system, thus minimising through-life IMR related costs. reducing to as low as is reasonably practicable all risks to people people, the environment and assets, in accordance with legislative, societal and business requirements, thus minimising the costs of failures.

Pipeline Maintenance
Preventive maintenance Because of the high cost and potential delays associated with intervention, preventive maintenance should be eliminated at the design stage, wherever possible. ibl Routine maintenance Routine maintenance tasks are required q where the elimination of f specific p f intervention is uneconomic or technically problematic. Normally such maintenance would be undertaken during repair activity, or combined with planned inspection p p campaigns. p g Corrective Maintenance Intervention to rectify breakdown or degradation (Corrective Maintenance) is referred to as Repair Repair .
Normally Subsea Facilities shall possess sufficient reliability to ensure availability throughout the field life. Subsea equipment that is susceptible to failure should be designed to minimize the effort/cost required for replacement of the failed assembly.

Based on the damage scenarios and risk assessment it is clear that: The pipeline installation contractor should have fully developed procedures and all necessary equipment mobilised and ready for implementation in the event of dry or wet buckles, prior to the start of deepwater pipelay operations.
The operator p should have fully y developed p procedures and all necessary p y
equipment ready for implementation prior to the start of operations, to cater for the following scenarios:
Hydrate formation. Localised damage (i.e. dent or pinhole leak). Local Rupture. Rupture over extensive pipeline length.

Several potential damage scenarios exist during the operational phase. The most
significant are where a damaged section of pipeline needs to be reinforced, replaced or cleared of a hydrate blockage. Where a replacement pipeline section is required, the length could vary significantly d depending di on th the nature t of f th the event t causing i the th damage d (a ( f few meters t to t several l kilometres in the event of a geohazard (i.e. slope instability). There is a wide range of qualified or nearly qualified equipment for the subsea repair both currently available and under continual development. repair, development The equipment exists both as individual components (equipment, tools and fittings) and full systems. Some repair systems are owned and operated on a club club basis, basis by a group or consortia of pipeline operators. The clubs at present operate in specific geographical locations. The need to access the p pipeline p at both ends for the p purpose p of re-commissioning g (i.e. flooding, cleaning, dewatering, etc.), is inherent in many of the repair scenarios. Access facilities and the provision of adequate space for equipment (particularly dewatering) are significant.
