RCP will conduct a 2 day workshop on DOT Pipeline Regulations on May 15 and 16th in Houston. This workshop will present an overview of all the current DOT regulations for pipeline operators, including recent regulatory initiatives such as operator qualification and pipeline integrity management. It will be followed by a half day workshop on May 17th dedicated to OPA-90 oil spill response planning for DOT pipelines. Both of these workshops are suitable for personnel who need a general introduction to DOT pipeline regulatory requirements. Additional information is available on our website HERE.

RCP will repeat our 2 day workshop on Pipeline Integrity Management on July 17 and 18th in Houston. This workshop presents a detailed analysis of the recent federal Pipeline Integrity Management regulation and the management programs / elements that it requires. We will also review recent state initiatives / proposed rules on pipeline integrity management. On the 18th we will discuss various methods of actually conducting a risk assessment for pipeline segments, and will work though several hands-on examples. We received very positive feedback from the Pipeline Integrity Management workshop that we conducted in March, and expect the July session to fill up rapidly.
