Did we intentionally film an AI episode in front of robot monster art? Maybe…

As machine learning becomes more prevalent, the industry is actively exploring how to leverage AI's capabilities to its advantage. On the newest episode of Pipeline Things, Christopher De Leon and Rhett Dotson are joined by Adrian Belanger as they explore the application of machine learning and his IPC 2022 paper: “Not All Data Is Good Data: The Challenges of Using Machine Learning ILI.”

While machine learning efficiently analyzes data and uncovers patterns for analysts, Rhett, Chris, and Adrian discuss the critical role that quality inputs play in actionable outputs. Bad data can arise from mismatches between ILI data and field data, or from incomplete data that has been excluded. Belanger discusses the importance of screening data and looking for anomalies in data when utilizing AI.

Rhett, Chris, and Adrian discuss the growth and use of machine learning, what good data is, and how machine learning can effectively be utilized in the industry.

Highlights:

• What type of data is fed into machine learning, and what goes wrong?
• Is the future of machine learning to replace jobs in pipeline integrity?
• Is parameter data leveraged in machine learning rather than just ILI signal data?
• What does good and bad data look like from Adrian’s perspective?
• What are the common mistakes with data?

You know what they say about history and repeating itself. In an episode that we wouldn’t mind listening to over and over again, we get the answers to important questions about modern-day pipeline integrity.

Join us on the newest episode of Pipeline Things, where Christopher De Leon and Rhett Dotson are joined by special guest Andy Drake to discuss the history of pipeline integrity regulations and best practices. Rhett, Chris, and Andy discuss prescriptive and performance-based regulation (and Rhett takes a stance!), what “zero incidents” means, and moving forward in the industry.

Highlights:

• What is the relationship between performance and prescriptive-based regulations?
• Why are U.S. operators operating in the regulatory environment that exists today?
• What does it mean to “stand on the shoulders of giants” in the pipeline industry?
• Where did “zero incidents” come from, and what did the original creators mean by it?
• How are we seeing environmental impacts influence regulations?

ILI tools have developed exponentially over the past few years, but understanding their real capabilities is essential for integrity management. On the newest episode of Pipeline Things, Christopher De Leon and Rhett Dotson are joined by Bruce Nestleroth to discuss how to get educated to ensure the tools you are buying from ILI vendors are what you actually need. They also dive into MFL sensors and Bruce’s history in the pipeline industry.

Highlights:

• How did Bruce Nestleroth get started in the pipeline industry?
• What does Bruce mean by “science is about truth; engineering is about compromise”?
• Why is there such a wide range of MFL sensors?
• How should people understand the specifications for ILI tools?
• Why is it important to ask the right questions when speaking to ILI vendors?
• Can MFL tools provide a river bottom profile for RSTRENG?
