CER Girth Weld Workshop

The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) is hosting a technical workshop on under-matched and low-strength girth welds.

This one-day technical workshop will provide an in-person forum to:

• investigate, discuss and explore the girth weld area strain-induced failure incidents that have occurred internationally, their causes, and contributing factors;
• observe the current state of research and knowledge of the issue;
• examine any progress that has been made internationally and within the Canadian context to prevent and mitigate incidents from occurring in Canada; and
• explore whether any gaps remain and how to address them.

Below are eight interactive forms to facilitate dialogue on the subjects discussed at the workshop.
