PIPELINE SAFETY AND INTEGRITY
Examples of Safety and Integrity
Activities/Processes
• Cathodic protection
• Internal cleaning and inspections
• Pipeline control center
• Pipeline marker signs
• Ground/aerial patrol• High consequence areas
• Periodic leak surveys
• Operators of Transmission and Distribution

PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION
12
• Pipelines are constructed in
“spreads”
• Pipeline construction
activities are continuously
inspected by trained and
qualified inspectors
• Pipeline welds are x-rayed to
ensure quality
• The pipeline is inspected
and tested before it is placed
into service to transport
products
Pipeline Construction
✓ Clearing & preparing the right-of-way
✓ Excavating the trench
✓ Stringing the pipe
✓ Welding pipe joints together and coating joints
✓ Inspecting pipe joints and coating
✓ Lowering the pipe into the trench and back-filling
✓ Grading and restoring the right-of-way
✓ Pipeline hydrostatic or internal device testing
PIPELINE INTEGRITY OVERVIEW
13
• Pipeline Safety Act of 2002
mandated landmark new
regulation called the Gas
Pipeline Integrity
Management Rule
• Liquids Pipeline Integrity
Management enacted in
2000
• Both regulations require
pipeline operators to identify
“High Consequence Areas”
along the pipelines and
further identify “covered
segments”
• Once covered segments are identified the pipeline
operators must develop specific plans to assess
the condition of the pipeline in the segments
• Emergency officials have a role in assisting
pipeline operators in confirming the location of
“Identified Sites” along the pipeline
PIPELINE INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT
KEY TERMS
Highly populated or “other” populated areas
Impaired mobility (hard to evacuate)
Ecological resources, wetlands….
14
• High Consequence Areas (HCAs) for gas or
Unusually Sensitive Areas (USAs) for liquids - an
engineering process is used to model the
impacts to the local area of a pipeline release.
Areas with certain population density or those
containing identified sites would be deemed
HCAs or USAs
• Identified Site – areas of congregation or limited
mobility along the pipeline segment
• Assessments – testing techniques used to
determine the condition of a pipeline segment
Schools DayCares Hospitals Prisons
PIPELINE CONTROL CENTER
Operates 24 hours a day / 7 days a week
Monitors pressure, flow and volume
Uses SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)
Some may have remote shut off capability (DO NOT shut off valves – wait for a pipeline representative)
15
BATCHING – LIQUID PRODUCTS
16Source: Association of Oil Pipe and Pipeline101.com
• Liquid pipelines can transport multiple products
ONE-CALL REQUIREMENTS
17
Routine Excavation Steps:
•Dial 811 (48hours in advance of project)
•Wait the required time
•Respect the marks
•Dig with care
Emergency Excavation Steps:
•Wildfire (fire break, access road)
•Tornado (recovery, clean up)
•Flooding (recovery, clean up)
WILDFIRE & FIREBREAK NOTICES
▪ OKIE811 processes emergency
notices during incidents of danger to
underground facilities
▪ Fire departments are expected to
contact OKIE811 to report wildfires
18
RIGHT-OF-WAY
▪ Protects the pipeline from excavation damage
▪ Provides prompt access in the event of an emergency
19
New construction in a right-of-way
Mature right-of-way
ENCROACHMENTS
▪ Structures that could impede the operation of a pipeline or
cause damage
20
REPORTING DAMAGE OR SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY

LEAK RECOGNITION:
– SOUND – SMELL
26
LEAK RECOGNITION:
SIGHT – – SMELL
27
• Quiet hissing to a loud roar
LEAK RECOGNITION:
SIGHT – SOUND –
28
• Odorless, may contain a hydrocarbon smell
• Can be injected with Mercaptan in certain areasGas Gathering /
Transmission
• Odorized with Mercaptan (or other similar chemicals)
• Odorant may smell like a skunkGas Distribution
•Can be odorless
•Odorants may be added to many HVLs to assist in detection of a leak
Highly Volatile Liquids
• OdorlessCarbon Dioxide
• Pungent and unpleasant odor similar to the smell of rotting garbage.
Landfill Gas
•Sweet Crude – Sweet petroleum smell.
•Sour Crude – Contains Hydrogen Sulfide, a poisionous gas. May smell like rotten eggs but can quickly deaden the sense of smell and appear odorless.
Crude Oil
Unusual smell, petroleum or gaseous odor
ATMOSPHERIC MONITORING
29
Atmospheric monitoring during a product leak or spill is an important
tactical step to ensure public safety! Pipeline operations personnel have
the equipment and training to assist you with this activity.
An Example…
The flammable range of natural gas is 5-15% . These numbers can vary
slightly due to characteristics of the product.
Less than 5 % 5 to 15% Greater than 15%
The only way to accurately assess for accumulation of flammable
products is through the use of monitoring equipment, namely a
Combustible Gas Indicator or CGI.

DISASTER RESPONSE
37
• Disasters will occur that require resources and
response beyond the capability of local
responders
• Under the National Incident Management System
(NIMS), public and private sector entities can
work together to respond to a disaster event
• Major disaster events can affect infrastructure
including pipelines
• When the State Emergency Operations Center is
activated, pipelines are represented within
Emergency Support Function (ESF) 12
• Under NIMS resources are requested from the
local area, to the state, and if needed, by the
state to the federal government
• Reestablishment of service and outside force
damage prevention are major priorities for
pipelines during disaster response

INCIDENT COMMAND - ICS
38
• Incident Command is the standard
for managing emergencies
• Pipeline operator first responders are
trained to report to the Command
Post and seek out the public sector
Incident Commander
• Many private entities including
pipeline operators have adopted the
Incident Command System for
Emergency Situations
IF YOU ARE FIRST IN …
39
• Establish Command – ICS
• Notify the Pipeline Operator
• Relate as much information as possible
• Allow only trained pipeline personnel to close valves
• If you don’t know – Don’t go!
