Features: Pipeline transportation is one of the five major transportation modes in the national economy. In recent years, the security of oil and gas has become a significant issue of concern for both national leaders and people in urban and rural areas. This book introduces the integrity management system for long-distance oil and gas pipelines, focusing on the identification and detection of hazards, as well as risk assessment techniques applicable to long-distance oil and gas pipelines. It also presents the integrity management practices of the Shaanxi-Beijing gas pipeline and the initial risk assessment and maintenance decision-making system of the Qinjiang oil pipeline. Pipeline integrity management involves the planned implementation of inspection, evaluation, and maintenance measures to reduce the failure rate of pipelines to an acceptable level. In recent years, countries in Europe and America have established supporting regulations and standards to implement integrity management for long-distance oil and gas pipelines, and China has also begun to pilot such systems. This book introduces the integrity management system for long-distance oil and gas pipelines, focusing on the identification and detection of hazards, as well as risk assessment techniques applicable to long-distance oil and gas pipelines. It also presents the integrity management practices of the Shaanxi-Beijing gas pipeline and the initial risk assessment and maintenance decision-making system of the Qinjiang oil pipeline. This book is a reference for technical personnel engaged in the planning, design, operation, and safety supervision of oil and gas pipelines, as well as for students and teachers in relevant disciplines at colleges and universities.
