Enbridge:资产完整性和可靠性
Enbridge:资产完整性和可靠性
此版本的多媒体
We believe that pipelines are the safest and most reliable way to transport the oil and natural gas that fuel our economy and enable modern society. While infrequent, spills or releases of oil or gas are possible and have the potential to affect people, communities and the environment. Our asset integrity practices are aimed at ensuring that our pipeline systems are maintained in the condition they were designed to be—so that the environment and those living around pipelines are protected, and that we can ensure the reliable and safe delivery of energy to our customers.
从设计和构造到预防和资产完整性,再到持续的监视和泄漏检测,我们对系统安全的生命周期视图。我们已经稳步提高了使用预测可靠性建模来支持风险知名决策的方法。我们的业务部门不仅基于法律要求或已知退化问题进行检查,而是通过可靠性模型补充了适合服务评估,这些模型可以解决我们的管道状况监测中的不确定性和潜在差距。可靠性评估和适合服务评估的这种结合已大大改善了我们液体管道的完整性管理,现在正被应用于企业。
我们的完整性管理计划包括必须采取预防措施的特定触发器。来自近乎失误和事件的经验教训,包括其他管道公司经历的事件,在公司内分享,经常审查,并为我们的程序和实践提供了持续的改进和质量控制。调查还将员工的声音带入了有关持续改进的对话,以确定挑战,机遇和创新。
To underscore our commitment to our goal of zero incidents, we implemented a new voluntary industry standard (CSA Z260-19: Pipeline system safety metrics) for pipeline system safety performance enterprise-wide in 2020. The heightened transparency around leaks and releases is resulting in conversations about the cause of, and how to prevent, even very small incidents with the most senior members of Enbridge’s leadership and has been used to establish a baseline for setting business unit targets going forward. This new integrity management standard is intended to drive industryleading practices across Enbridge so that safety of our assets is demonstrated, not assumed.
通过此探索我们对管道安全,在土地和水上的承诺互动体验。
Disruptive technology for inline inspection
内联检查工具是高度复杂的设备,使用高级传感器从内部检查管道墙,以搜索微小的瑕疵,凹痕,金属损失,腐蚀或开裂。
Enbridge和NDT Global开发了下一代裂纹工具(NGCT),以支持我们的检查工作。该技术从不同的角度检查了管墙的内部,并检测和尺寸以前无法检测到的功能,可以仔细研究。最终,这意味着在我们的管道网络上更好的健身性评估,并通过证明线完整性而无需进行静水测试来减少用水的使用。NGCT在2020年沿我们的主线原油和液体网络检查了约524公里的管道,在检查约524公里的管道中收集了239个数据,这使我们能够确保我们的管道网络比以往任何时候都可靠,更安全。
基于无人机的航空通行权监视
自从我们从2018年开始在整个公司中使用它们以来,我们对无人机的使用已迅速扩展。无人机操作包括洪水监测,施工监测,调查工作和3D映射。我们还支持开发新功能的开发,例如《超越视觉视线操作》(BVLOS),这将开辟一系列新用途。
In 2020, Enbridge team members participated in two key initiatives to advance BVLOS capabilities. In the U.S., we’re involved in a collaborative project, sponsored by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Pipelines Research Council International (PRCI), which is demonstrating automated detection of threats to pipeline operations on a long-endurance (17 hours) unmanned platform.
在加拿大,我们一直在支持加拿大运输公司(Transport Canada)启动的工作,加拿大运输公司(Transpling Canada)发放了第一份BVLOS许可证,用于检查平民领空中的偏远石油和天然气资产向总部位于艾伯塔省的加拿大无人机。2020年底,我们成功完成了八公里的BVLOS飞行,该飞行在Athabasca地区的Enbridge管道中的一段路线上,捕获了高分辨率可见和热成像,同时展示了航空公司级的安全基础设施。
Emergency preparedness and response
While we plan for safe, reliable, incident-free operations, potential threats to our business can come in many forms—including pandemics, natural disasters or emergencies involving workers and damage to oil and gas facilities—and we must be prepared. As an operator of critical energy infrastructure, we have measures in place to anticipate risks, and to respond to and minimize impacts should an incident occur.
通过我们的经验和学习以及行业最佳实践,定期测试和增强了我们的应急准备和响应系统。我们与当地的急救人员,应急管理小组,行业协会以及省/州和联邦机构合作,以确保我们的准备工作是正确的,并且在发生事件时协调将有效。
Employees and contractors are well trained and equipped to ensure a safe, rapid and effective response. We also maintain the Enbridge Enterprise Emergency Response Team (E3RT), a cross-business unit group trained to respond to large-scale events in Canada and the U.S.
In 2020, we conducted more than 186 exercises and emergency response drills based on real-life scenarios to hone our skills and capabilities. We took a big step forward by greatly increasing Indigenous participation in these training exercises. We also created a new incident notification protocol for informing Indigenous communities and small communities about incidents.
