Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This document contains amendments to the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board Technical Standards and Specifications including Safety Standards for Natural Gas Pipelines Regulations, 2009. These amendments, titled the 2017 Amendment Regulations, focus on environmental safety, risk assessment, plastic pipe usage, and testing procedures for natural gas pipelines. The regulations come into force on the date of publication in the Official Gazette, January 5, 2018. Key Points / Main Content: * **Amendments to Appendix I:** * The phrase "Environmental friendly fire extinguishing flooding system for closed space" is replaced with "Environmental friendly fire extinguishing system for closed space." * **Amendments to Schedule 1D - Steel Pipe:** * For existing pipelines with a pipe size of 4 inch and above where the pipe thickness is less than 6.4 mm, a Quantitative Risk Assessment must be carried out, and the risk level reduced to As Low As Reasonably Possible (ALARP). * **Additions to Schedule 1D - Plastic Pipes:** * Plastic pipes and components must meet IS 14885 or ISO 4437 standards. * Pressure in the PE pipeline network shall not exceed 7 kg/cm². * PE pipes can only be laid in class 3 and class 4 locations. * PE pipelines must comply with PNGRB technical standards for city or local gas distribution networks. * Clear battery limit demarcation of specification changes is required during the design construction stage. * The material must conform to IS 14885, ISO 4437, or ASTM D251314e1, and fittings shall conform to ISO 8085 Part 3. * **Amendments to Schedule 1D - Pipeline System and Component:** * The requirement for "Environment friendly Flooding" is replaced with a requirement for "Environmental friendly fire extinguishing system" in control rooms, switch gear and battery rooms, and computer rooms of compressor, terminal, or tap-off stations. * **Amendments to Schedule 1D - Testing After Construction:** * Minimum test pressure requirements in Table 5 are updated for location classes 3 and 4: * Location Class 3: Test Pressure = 1.50x Design Pressure * Location Class 4: Test Pressure = 1.50x Design Pressure * **Amendments to Schedule 1D - Above Ground Station Piping:** * Station piping must be tested at a minimum test pressure of 1.5 times the design pressure. Impact Analysis: * **Pipeline Operators:** * Impact: Must adhere to the new technical standards and specifications, including safety standards for natural gas pipelines, particularly regarding risk assessment for existing pipelines, the use of plastic pipes, and testing procedures. * Action Required: Review and update pipeline operation procedures to comply with the amended regulations. Conduct Quantitative Risk Assessments where required and implement environmental fire extinguishing systems. * **Natural Gas Regulatory Board:** * Impact: Responsible for enforcing the amended regulations and ensuring compliance by pipeline operators. * Action Required: Update inspection and audit procedures to reflect the new regulations. * **Manufacturers of Pipeline Components:** * Impact: Plastic Pipes and components must be manufactured to meet IS 14885 or ISO 4437 standards. * Action Required: Ensure that new or existing products meet the updated requirements.
