1.0 Introduction
This document is prepared to identify the scope of activities for inspection of subsea pipeline
to enable capturing of data for Risk Based Assessment of system along with Engineering
criticality assessments (ECA) , as per requirement. This Inspection activity is to ensure GSPC to
Operate and manage their assets continuously with the highest levels of integrity and safety.
Optical fibre cable is piggy back. One umbilical is also laid alongside from PLQP to SSIV.
1.1 Scope
This document is applicable to the Deen Dayal Field (Block KGOSN/2001/03) situated offshore
from the Yanam Kakinada coast of Andhra Pradesh, India
This document is concerned with the subsea Pipelines.

Inspection of export trunk pipelines will involve the following activities to either confirm the
adequacy or condition/status of items mentioned below:
Adequacy of the CP system;
Damage or deformation to the lines;
Areas of free-spanning or buckling or determine the extent;
Monitoring stabilization including rock protection berms;
Debris around pipeline;
Marine growth measurements ,if any; and,
Internal pig inspection.
The inspection of pipelines requires traversing the total route of subsea pipeline either by
flying the ROV or Diver, and so it is different from that of static or Rotary equipment, the
ROV should have boom arms fitted with lights and cameras for total coverage in single trip,
as pipeline is of 20diameters.
In case the same ROV system is required for carrying out baseline survey then two runs will
be required:
1. To plot the position of the pipeline
2. To record any events or anomalies. Done by other group.
Internal pig inspections will be conducted to establish baseline wall thickness and defects
measurements for trending and future risk based inspection scheduling. Then, optionally,
will be repeated after 5 years, on basis of assessment of result of maintenance pigging
analysis along with Iron count & SRB.
A side-scan sonar inspection of the shallow water section of the export trunk lines and
Effluent line will be required in order to establish any exposures.
Pipelines End Terminations are treated as integral sub-components of the pipelines.
Risers will be treated and inspected with Platform jacket inspection, as the requirement will
differ. More over this forms part of structure section than pipeline. Risers and
appurtenances will be inspected as part of the PLQP jacket inspection.

4.1 Recording and Measurement for General Visual Inspection
The following needs to be recorded:
Damage
Free Span
Leak Observations
Scour
Stabilization
Crossing
The deliverables expected from inspection on this type of asset include:
1. Report of all events recorded, all anomalies observed and all measurements required at the
recorded KP from the baseline surveyed line-file.
2. Executive summary of the recorded events and anomalies.
3. Digital Video Media Files of the Inspection.

History:
The primary function of the pipeline is to convey the gas from the PLQP/WHP to
Onshore Gas Terminal (OGT).
Aim:
General Visual Inspection (GVI) is carried out to identify and locate any damage or
upset conditions which may have occurred in the system during service period
with potential to affect the production and protective systems.
After GVI, different methodology can be deployed for further ascertaining the
Integrity of pipeline system.
Inspection / survey will be carried out as per methods described elsewhere in
document in different water section.
Duration:
Materials:
Field CP Gradient system with qualified qualified Inspector having minimum 500
hrs of Inspection experience.
