Casino pipeline: novel pipeline integrity inspection

open access: yesThe APPEA Journal, 2017
The Casino offshore pipeline required inspection to demonstrate the integrity of the pipeline and allow the operating life of the pipeline to be extended. There were numerous challenges in performing a conventional internal pipeline inspection which would have required diver operations to install and operate subsea pig launchers.

New Techniques of Pipeline Inspection

SPE Offshore Europe, 1981
Abstract The Frigg Field Transportation System was commissioned in 1977. Since starting production, Total Oil Marine has initiated and maintained an in service inspection programme designed to identify any condition of the line which may lead to failure of the line either in the short or long term. Until 1980, the main problems on the

Ultrasonic inspection of pipelines

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1979
A method and device which are suitable for the in-place inspection of pipelines are provided. A completely self-contained, mobile inspection station is placed inside a pipeline. The station runs through the pipe and transmits Lamb waves within the pipe wall, receives reflected and transmitted portions of the waves, and records the amplitude and phase ...

On Stream Inspection Of Pipelines

Offshore Europe Conference, 1979
Introduction 'They don't make it the way they used to,' or words to that effect are often heard these days and invariably reflect sadness (or frustration) that the high standards of a bygone age are no longer applicable. The pipeline industry could perhaps use the same expression but the meaning would very different.

Pipeline inspection with AUV

2015 IEEE/OES Acoustics in Underwater Geosciences Symposium (RIO Acoustics), 2015
This paper shows the preliminary perceptions of pipeline inspection with AUV (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle) in oil and gas fields. The intent of this new technology is to increase productivity and reduce costs related to facilities inspection. The AUV used is a Kongsberg HUGIN 1000 equiped with Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS), Multibeam echosounder ...

Optimizing inspection routes in pipeline networks

Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2020
Abstract Maintaining an aging network is a challenge for many water utilities due to limited budgets and uncertainty surrounding the physical condition of buried pipeline assets. The deployment of robotic inspections provides high quality data, but these platforms have limited use due to cost and operational constraints.
