The Advanced Infrastructure Integrity Model (AIIM) is a multivariate, multi-machine learning modeling technology applied to evaluate the integrity of offshore energy infrastructure (e.g., pipelines, platforms) in the U.S. Gulf Region. An offshore pipeline (also known as marine, subsea or submarine pipeline) is a pipeline that is laid on the seabed or below it inside a trench. In some cases, the pipeline is mostly on-land but in places it crosses water expanses, such as small seas, straits and rivers. Offshore pipelines are used primarily to carry oil or gas, but transportation of water is also important. A distinction is sometimes made between a flowline and a pipeline. The former is an intra-field pipeline, in the sense that it is used to connect subsea wellheads, manifolds and the platform within a particular development field. The latter, sometimes referred to as an export pipeline, is used to bring the resource to shore. Sizeable pipeline construction projects need to take into account a large number of factors, such as the offshore ecology, geo-hazards and environmental loading \u2013 they are often undertaken by multidisciplinary, international teams. ", "description": "
The AIIM Dashboard provides a user-friendly interface to view, access, and query predictive data generated by the Advanced Infrastructure Integrity Model (AIIM). AIIM is a foundational, pre-trained AI model developed to evaluate the physical integrity of offshore energy infrastructure including pipelines, platforms, and wells in the U.S. Gulf.<\/p>
As many offshore structures approach or exceed their original design life, understanding their structural health is critical. This application allows users \u2013 including researchers, regulators, and industry - to interact directly with AIIM\u2019s data and predicted asset lifespan, helping them identify opportunities for infrastructure reuse, plan hazard prevention strategies, and target areas for remediation.<\/p>
To forecast remaining operational lifespan of offshore oil and gas infrastructure assets, the underlying AIIM model conducts a comprehensive, multivariate machine learning assessment. The application allows users to query and visualize how various factors impact structural integrity, including:<\/p>
\u2022 Operational Wear-and-Tear: Daily operational stressors.<\/p>
\u2022 Environmental Loadings: Short- and long-term effects from waves, storms, and ocean currents.<\/p>
\u2022 Geohazards: Specific environmental risks, such as submarine landslide likelihood.<\/p>
\u2022 Asset Characteristics: Structural age, materials, and platform or well types.<\/p>
\u2022 Incident Reports: Historical incident event data.<\/p>
