System-wide ECDA application advances integrity management

摘要

Applying an initial external corrosion direct-assessment program to Kuwait Oil Co.'s pipeline network advanced integrity management of the facility despite initial setbacks. Based on the initial ECDA program, KOC determined that a single entity should have accountability and responsibility for all the four stages of ECDA in future programs, thereby improving data acquisition and related quality assurance-quality control, data integration, and postassessment processing to tie in all the stages of ECDA.
