After a 24-inch crude line MFL/UT combo run last week in Reeves County, we logged 312 metal loss calls and 9 dents; how are you ranking threats when MAOP is tight and hydrotest isn’t on the table? I’m leaning on B31.8S threat matrices, tool tolerances, CP trends, and limited outage windows to build a defensible plan that cuts risk without over-digging — curious what’s worked for you in the field.
And > threat matrices, tool tolerances, CP trends, and limited outage windows to build a defensible plan that cuts Agree — first pass should be burst-margin only: run PCORRC/RSTRENG on the 312 with worst-case MFL/UT bias and dig anything with burst/MAOP <1.25, plus any dent at/near a weld or with metal loss interaction. With no hydro, hold a 5–10% derate until those are cleared; on that 24-in Reeves segment, bump road and water crossings even if %WT is about 55–60. Do your CIS/AC data show shielding at crossings?
