Intelligent Solutions for Inspection of Challenging Pipelines- Case Study: 10” Rigid Offshore Oil Riser Inspection for Wall Thickness and Cracks

ROSEN Group
ROSEN Group
Since the introduction of in-line inspection tools (ILI) more than 50 years ago, there have always been pipelines that were considered unpiggable. Typically, it is a combination of various circumstances relating to pipeline design, operating conditions, and/or characteristics of the medium that prevents a successful in-line inspection using...

Innovation Brings Pipeline Back to Normal

Before the operator of a gas export pipeline offshore Asia could isolate the line and replace leaking pig trap valves on their platform and perform in-line inspection (ILI), they had to remove a serious obstacle: a cleaning pig that had stalled just beyond the pig launcher. Because there is no standard tool for recovering a stalled pig, at least...

Apart from typical technical and operational challenges of onshore pipelines i.e. 3rd party, corrosions, geohazards; offshore pipelines and subsea facilities have additional challenges i.e. logistics and weather-related, ultra-high pressure/temperature for ultra-deep/deep water. Thus, that’s the reason why the front-end loading (FEL)/design stages...

Leak Detection for Energy Transition

KROHNE
KROHNE
With a shift from fossil-based energy production and consumption to renewable sources also comes a shift for the transportation. To guarantee safe and efficient monitoring of pipelines, leak detection systems (LDS) must be adapted to the new requirements. The article describes how existing LDS can handle the requirements of energy transition...

Safely repurposing existing pipelineinfrastructure for CO2 transport – Key issues to be addressed

DNV Høvik-Norway
DNV Høvik-Norway
In the context of carbon capture and storage (CCS) or utilization (CCUS), offshore pipelines are foreseen to play an important role for the transport of large quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) from sources sinks/consumers. There is currently a strong interest within the industry to explore the possibility for repurposing of existing pipeline...
