Master the technology of Pipeline Inspection Gauges (PIGs), from utility cleaning tools to smart In-Line Inspection (ILI

What you'll learn
- Pigging Basics: Define what a PIG is, how it moves, and the four critical functions they perform (Cleaning, Batching, Inspection, and Dewatering).
- Tool Selection: distinguish between Utility Pigs (Foam, Brush, Scraper) and "Smart" Intelligent Pigs used for data gathering.
- Smart Technology: Understand the difference between Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) and Ultrasonic Testing (UT) for defect detection.
- Operational Hardware: Master the anatomy of Launchers and Receivers (Traps), including Kicker valves, Barrels, and Quick Opening Closures.
- Operations & Safety: Learn the step-by-step sequence for launching and receiving a pig safely, including isolation and verification.
- Physics & Control: Analyze pig velocity, understand optimal speed ranges for gas vs. liquid lines, and learn how bypass flow and electronic braking control spee
- Surveillance: Explore tracking methods like Electromagnetic (EM) transmitters, Acoustic tracking, and the "Leap-Frog" strategy.
- Standards: Navigate key industry standards including API 1163, ASME B31.8S, and ISO 22504.

Requirements
- Basic understanding of fluid mechanics or engineering terminology is helpful but not required.
- A desire to learn about oil and gas midstream operations.

Description
Are you an engineer, technician, or oil & gas professional looking to master the critical maintenance process known as "Pigging"?

"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence."

Pipeline Pigs are the unsung heroes of the energy industry. They maintain flow efficiency, separate distinct products, and most importantly, use advanced sensors to inspect the health of pipelines from the inside out.

In this course,Pipeline Pigging Fundamentals, we break down the complex world of pipeline operations into clear, digestible modules. Whether you are dealing with routine cleaning or complex intelligent inspection runs, this course provides the technical foundation you need.
