60 60 Challenge: Enforcement and Compliance Observations: Operational Lack of inspection focus on “critical path” Lack of inspection focus on “critical path” Corrosion based understanding is not sufficient Corrosion based understanding is not sufficient Company overall performance not part of enforcement view Company overall performance not part of enforcement view Need: Dialog

61 61 Challenge: Enforcement and Compliance Observations: Information Sharing Lack of opportunities for honest and open discussions about what works and what doesn’t Lack of opportunities for honest and open discussions about what works and what doesn’t Second round of comprehensives feels like starting over Second round of comprehensives feels like starting over Most knowledgeable inspectors seem to be moving to enforcement of natural gas rule Most knowledgeable inspectors seem to be moving to enforcement of natural gas rule Need: Dialog

62 62 Request: The hazardous liquid industry would like to sit down with OPS headquarters, OPS regions, and OPS contractor for open exchange of concerns and suggestions related to inspection and enforcement. We need to listen to each other!!

63 63 Challenge: Plain Dents Observations Current rule repair criteria are unsupported technically Current rule repair criteria are unsupported technically Remediating some dents may do more harm than good depending on service, metallurgy, D/t ratios Remediating some dents may do more harm than good depending on service, metallurgy, D/t ratiosNeeds Better methods for evaluating deformations and separating injurious from stable/non-injurious Better methods for evaluating deformations and separating injurious from stable/non-injurious Flexibility from OPS in application of the rule to some dent situations Flexibility from OPS in application of the rule to some dent situations

64 64 Example: What is a Dent? “Sharp” “Flat” Ovality

65 65 Example: What is a Dent? No industry method on calculating when a deformation is injurious (i.e., RSTRENG) No industry method on calculating when a deformation is injurious (i.e., RSTRENG) Little correlation between depth of a dent and the damage to the pipe Little correlation between depth of a dent and the damage to the pipe Deformation may reround when excavated and residual dent depth is affected by the line pressure at the time of measurement Deformation may reround when excavated and residual dent depth is affected by the line pressure at the time of measurement
