This VR simulation for oil and gas pipeline inspector training and testing starts inspectors in a scenarios with a simulated gas line in an outdoor environment. Pipeline inspectors will focus on completing the requirements of looking for Abnormal Operation Conditions (AOCs) along a mile long stretch of line, and inspecting, documenting, and correctly reporting any found AOCs. There are three different scenarios in this certification training: residential, a dirt road, or a bridge. Once a scenario is selected, the inspector must read the work order, then demonstrate their knowledge of performing a pipeline inspection for safety hazards. Potential hazards they could encounter during testing include: a locked gate, bent or broken marker, gas leak, broken and blowing pipe, tarnished signage, sign with incorrect phone number, an exposed pipe, a broken or bent pipe, and a damaged or broken pipe hanger. AOCs identified during inspection must then be documented and reported to the correct persons such as supervisors or dispatchers. The exam ends when all documentation is completed and submitted through the system. The pipeline inspector is then taken to a grading room where they can view the results of their exam, then retry the VR simulation as needed to achieve certification.
