Banff/2001 Pipeline Workshop

Due to the aging condition of existing pipelines, a need exists to be aware of new managing techniques for pipeline integrity. The subject workshop will discuss such issues and provide a forum for the exchange of information. The Banff/01 Workshop, to be held in Banff, Canada, is the fifth in a series of workshops that Natural Resources Canada (NRC) has organized to address new pipeline technologies. The workshop will review the progress achieved from the 1999 workshop and will carry out intensive group discussions on such topics as risk assessment / risk management, abandonment issues and in-line inspections. The workshop will be sponsored by NRC and a number of industry participants to include the MMS.
