1. INTRODUCTION
The WG-ICDA methodology is performed to assess the pipelines’ integrity for the threat
of internal corrosion. Whereas, External Corrosion Direct Assessment (ECDA)
methodology is used to assess the threat of external corrosion. Whilst, SCCDA
methodology is utilized to assess the threat of Stress Corrosion Cracking.
The application of these three (3) methodologies simultaneously provide great
advantage to the Asset Owner. Coincidence on the location of indications predicted for
the threats of internal corrosion, external as well SCC will assist in further optimizing
this turnkey DA Program.
This report contains the Pre-Assessment conducted for the 8” Wet-Gas Loop Pipeline
from OIL’s Kathaloni Oil Collecting Station (OCS) to Wilton Grantt via Tengakhat
Junction. The subject pipeline has been given a Line Code#26 for the purpose of positive
identification by AE.
A schematic of Line 26 has been included below in Figure 1. The flow in this line is Bi-
directional. The line carries product from Valve V115 at the Kathaloni GCS to Valve V2
at Wilton Grantt which in between injects the product to 8” line at Tengakhat Junction
going towards Tengakhat OCS.

2. DATA COLLECTION
In compliance with NACE SP0110-2018 for Wet Gas Internal Corrosion Direct
Assessment (WG-ICDA) - execution of the Pre-Assessment step for ICDA includes
following activities:
To collect all essential data and obtain as much information as possible, AE commenced
a site visit with OIL for data collection, data integration and data analysis. This was
initiated on 4th October 2019. Although, data collection based on AE’s ICDA Pre-
Assessment Protocol have continuously being exchanged with OIL via email up to the
mentioned date. The Pre-Assessment data / observations / results for the subject
pipelines’ operations are described in this report to the best of AE’s understanding.
The data to be used for the Indirect Inspection Step that includes flow and corrosion
rate simulations is presented within Table-1 of Section 2.1.

Based on the data and the operational parameters, the selected WG-ICDA regions are
reflected in Figure-2 below:

Line 26 – Kathaloni to Wilton Grantt Loop Line
Based on the data provided and the analysis of it by the Subject Matter Experts (SME),
the feasibility to perform WG-ICDA is confirmed and it is as follows:
Flow Rates provided by OIL (Refer to Table-2), for the month of November and
December 2019:
• There is 25% flow in the direction of Kathaloni to Wilton Grantt and 75% flow is
in the direction of Wilton Grantt to Kathaloni.
• The average flow as provided by OIL is 9,000 SCMD in either direction.
• Flow rate from Tengakhat Junction to Kathaloni GCS / Wilton Grantt is 4,000
SCMD
In consideration of above points, AE has decided to model the pipeline in 2 regions with
the following Scenarios:
FLOW MODELLING
19
Oil India Limited
Line 26 – Kathaloni to Wilton Grantt Loop Line
• Flow modelling for Scenario 2 = Scenario 1 plus 0.065 bbls of free water
continuously. Includes both Region 1 and 2 with free water.
• The flow modelling for Scenario 2 = Scenario 1 plus 0.065 bbls of free
water continuously. Includes both Region 1 and 2 with free water.

Oil India Limited
Line 26 – Kathaloni to Wilton Grantt Loop Line
CORROSION MODELLING
• Scenario 1 = 9,000 SCMD over 19 years and Water Vapor Saturated Gas.
• Scenario 1 = 4,000 SCMD over 19 years and Water Vapor Saturated Gas.
o 6 months operating wet gas (water vapor saturated gas) only for 19 years
i.e. in total 9.5 years wet gas
o 6 months operating wet gas (water vapor saturated gas) plus 0.065 bbls
of free water per day continuously
➢ Scenario 2 = For a total of two modelling run for Region 1 and two for Region 2.

Dissolved Oxygen test was done in the field and for rest of the tests these were performed at AE offices (Base Camp).
These results were used to calculate in-situ pH and as part of the input to the corrosion model.
