Whitepapers
Leading innovation in pipeline risk assessment
and pipeline integrity management.
Creating impactful change in pipeline integrity management requires sharing ideas & demonstrating success rates.
JANA is active in the oil and gas industry as a participant in associations and standard development and in sharing our findings. Through both independent and collaborative efforts, we have produced and presented whitepapers on various aspects of modern risk modeling and the Mechanistic-Probabilistic (MP) model we use in our solutions.
