Image Webinar: Offshore Inspection Challenges
+

 

 

Offshore in-line inspections come with their own set of technical challenges, which distinguishes them from onshore pipeline inspections.

Typical challenges for offshore inspections may include:

  • Pipeline design and subsea installations
  • Choice of measurement technology
  • Operating conditions (low or high gas speeds, low or high pressures)
  • High wall thicknesses
  • Multi-diameter pipelines
  • Limited access to launch or receive ILI tools
  • Subsea launching/receiving
  • Tool tracking
  • and combinations of the above

Not knowing how to best tackle these challenges may result in pipelines being left uninspected or inspections falling short on requirements, thus creating potential risks to their integrity.

Therefore, on July 21st, ROSEN will conduct a webinar which discusses the available technologies that can successfully overcome them and allow a complete pipeline data set to be acquired.

 

The webinar will be presented by:
