Monitoring Casing Integrity: How are operators expected to monitor structural integrity of the casing and end seals?
PHMSA has not established prescriptive requirements for how an operator should monitor the structural integrity of the casing. PHMSA expects operators to develop their own technically sound processes. PHMSA has provided some guidance on monitoring of casings and some of the information contained in these materials section could be utilized. Each operator must determine which method(s) are applicable to their situations.
