Description

Workshop on Pipeline Safety, Inspection & Compliance as per PNGRB and OISD Regulations

Master India's Regulatory Framework for Pipeline Integrity and Third-Party Inspection Compliance

 

In India's critical oil and gas sector, ensuring pipeline safety and regulatory compliance is paramount to protecting people, assets, and the environment. The PNGRB (Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board) Regulations and OISD (Oil Industry Safety Directorate) Standards form the essential regulatory backbone for pipeline operations. This specialized workshop provides a comprehensive understanding of these national standards alongside the critical compliance requirements for Third-Party Inspection Bodies (TPIs) as per ISO/IEC 17020 and ILAC P-15. Through expert-led discussions and real-world case studies, you will gain the competence to implement robust safety systems, manage inspection protocols, and ensure full regulatory alignment.

 

What You Will Learn

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Interpret and Apply key PNGRB Technical Standards (T4S) and OISD Standards (e.g., OISD-STD-141, 226) for pipeline design, operation, and maintenance.

  • Understand the Compliance Framework for Third-Party Inspection Bodies, including ISO/IEC 17020 requirements and ILAC P-15 application.

  • Implement a Pipeline Integrity Management System (PIMS) as mandated by PNGRB, covering risk assessment and integrity assurance.

  • Evaluate Inspection Methods such as In-Line Inspection (ILI), hydrostatic testing, and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT).

  • Develop and Assess Emergency Response and Disaster Management Plans (ERDMP) in line with regulatory expectations.

  • Apply Knowledge Practically through incident case studies, root cause analysis, and compliance scenario exercises.
