Dr. Bubenik is Vice President of Integrity Services at CC Technologies Services, Inc. Dr. Bubenik has over twenty years of experience in pipeline integrity assessments, in-line inspection tools and their capabilities, direct assessment techniques and methodologies, and field data collection. He has managed a large number of experimental, numerical, and analytical projects. Prior to joining Battelle, Dr. Bubenik worked for ten years with Exxon Production Research Company, where he conducted and led research programs related to pipelines, materials, welding, and structural analyses. Dr. Bubenik's research experience also includes the development of analysis tools for corroded and damaged pipelines and repair techniques for pipelines. This broad range of experience provides Dr. Bubenik with a strong technical background on the impact of defects and inspection on pipeline operations and maintenance.

Dr. Bubenik's research experience covers inspection technologies for pipelines, analysis tools for corroded and damaged pipelines, and repair techniques for pipelines. This broad range of experience provides Dr. Bubenik with a strong technical background on the impact of defects and inspection on pipeline operations and maintenance.

Dr. Bubenik's experience related to in-line inspection of natural gas pipelines includes studies on the design and operation of inspection vehicles, analysis and interpretation of inspection data, and design and operation of pipeline and compressor systems. Dr. Bubenik oversaw the construction of a pipeline flow loop used to develop and improve inspection technologies.

In addition, Dr. Bubenik has managed many failure investigations associated with welding-related defects, corrosion, cracking, and metallurgical changes. These investigations have given Dr. Bubenik an understanding of the multitude of defect types that cause pipeline failures and of the costs and consequences of such failures.
