产生影响

When it comes to pipeline 完整性 decision-making, predictive models are at the heart of it. 这些模型帮助我们回答一些重要的问题，比如, 我们应该在何时何地对其中一条管道进行完整性挖掘?

Preventative maintenance activities are critical to keeping our assets safe. This work often involves mobilizing a team to site to conduct 完整性 digs, revealing sections of pipe where corrosion features may exist and inspecting those features to gather data.

虽然这项工作至关重要, 它可能成本高昂，并对环境造成影响, particularly if the dig reveals that additional maintenance is not required. 但, what if there was a way to more accurately predict the condition of the pipe without having to conduct so many digs? 这就是P平方模型的用武之地.

The model provides a more accurate representation of corrosion features in pipelines; allowing operators to make better decisions for preventative maintenance, 完整性挖掘和其他管道完整性活动.

“提高安全就是行动 正确的工作，而不是更多的工作，沙哈尼说。.

“This has both economic and environmental benefits – preventing unnecessary ground disturbances and making our maintenance activities more efficient.”

引领我们行业的道路

Development of the P Square Model involved an immense collaborative industry review and validation process, which culminated in 2019 with endorsement from Pipeline Research Council International industry experts. The current industry model was published in 1989 and is incorporated by reference in Federal regulations worldwide.

“The P Square Methodology is the first industry-wide improvement to that model in the ensuing 30 years and work is ongoing to incorporate this into referenced standards,沙哈尼补充道。.

TC Energy has a long and successful history in developing and mobilizing industry changing research and technology. We publish dozens of technical research papers each year and our work has been adopted by operators and regulators across the world.

We are honoured to be considered for this award among our peers who continue to push our industry towards higher safety and environmental standards.
