<p>Prediction of the Financial Losses of Subsea Pipeline Failure</p><p>The consequences of subsea crude pipeline failure drastically affect the continuity of oil supply and inability of the operating company to meet the market demand. Moreover, it reduces clients’ confidence and the reliance on the operating company. There are mainly two types of failure that severely affect the integrity and operability of a pipeline. These are the leakage caused by gradual thinning of the pipeline due to corrosion and the leakage caused by a rupture pressure. The first form of failure results in a constant slow leakage that go over time without being noticed. While the second form of failure takes place without warning which makes the restoration effort extremely difficult and time consuming. Both forms of failure result in delayed production, environmental damage, legal claims as well as financial losses that the operating company could incur. Leaked oil products adversely impact other industries which bring these industries into a halt. Such industries may include fishery, transportation, and tourism industries. &nbsp;This paper presents a method for predicting the financial losses that a company could incur in the event a pipeline undergoes the abovementioned failures. Basically, this method can be used as a standard estimating tool for predicting the financial losses if such events occur. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Supporting the need among researchers worldwide for additional online and multimedia content, ASME now offers the ASME Conference Video Collection. This platform will collect and provide long-term access to conference presentation videos, encompassing all technology areas within ASME's technical conference and events program. About 30,000-40,000 engineers across all mechanical engineering and related disciplines participate in ASME conferences each year. This includes authors of approximately 6,000 to 8,000 technical papers published by ASME, the majority of whom also submit video presentations for our virtual conferences. The video collection will be available as an add-on to existing product packages or as a separate subscription.
