| Abstract | Many of the subsea pipelines around the world are reaching the end of their design life, and some are already under operation beyond the design life. Inherently, it is expensive to replace or repair subsea pipelines. This is mainly due to the fact that cost of replacement or repair necessitates the cost of loss of production during the shutdown period. Hence, it is vital to maintain the integrity of pipelines at an anticipated level to optimize replacements and repairs. To conserve the integrity of pipelines, it is necessary to allocate a larger proportion of budgets for inspection, maintenance and subsequently for necessary replacements and repairs. In addition, in the light of a number of high profile incidents, political and regulatory pressure has grown on asset owners to certify that they maintain pipeline integrity at an anticipated level. Regulatory authorities shall check up on the integrity assessment and control (IA&C) process of pipeline systems to confirm that the risk of a potential failure is as low as reasonably possible (ALARP). Assessments of the risk of potential failures of ageing pipelines provide an opportunity to optimize expenditures on IA&C. In this context, setting economic inspection intervals to prevent failures, limit risks to ALARP, quantify the present integrity (using available design data and as-built data, inspection data, loading and environmental data), and predict the future integrity (forecast operating conditions using past and present operating conditions) play a significant role. There is a need to employ expert systems to undertake risk based IA&C to minimize the variability in the assessments and evaluations caused by frequent migration of experts from one organization to another and new recruits with lack of experience. This manuscript provides the state of the art of the IA&C of subsea systems and proposes an expert-systems-based approach to minimize the variability caused in the IA&C process. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
