The Most Reliable Offshore ILI Data

 

Robust Tools for Offshore Pipeline Excellence.

Ever-increasing demand for safe and reliable sources of energy has resulted in the growth of offshore oil and gas production, and the construction of pipelines to support these operations. NDT Global was among the first to address the complex operational and environmental requirements of offshore pipelines helping our customers to safely maximize their assets.

Our variety of tools offer best-in-class inspection technologies for offshore pipelines. Under ideal circumstances, detecting features like cracks, metal loss, and pipeline movement requires exacting tools with the ability to measure defects to within sub-millimeter accuracy. Additionally, offshore pipelines present the challenges of high pressures, heavy wall thickness, internal coatings, and varying pipeline diameters, all of which have made inspecting these lines with traditional magnetic tools less effective. Recognizing these challenges early on, we adapted our inspection technologies to provide the same accuracy and dependability in offshore inspections that our onshore customers have trusted for optimized integrity management programs.

Challenge Offshore Pipeline Threats with Unparalleled Accuracy.

NDT Global is at the forefront of addressing offshore pipelines' intricate operational and environmental demands. Offshore pipelines introduce challenges such as high pressures, high wall thickness, and varying pipeline diameters, which diminish the effectiveness of traditional inspection tools. In response to these challenges, ART Scan™ was developed as an innovative ultrasonic inspection solution specifically designed to detect and size metal loss features with sub-millimeter accuracy. 

First Run Success, Verifiable Results.

Next-Generation Inline Inspection Technology for Offshore Gas Pipelines.

ART Scan™, an ultra-wideband acoustic measurement technology is uniquely suited to deliver precise inline diagnostic data for difficult-to-navigate, multi-, and bi-directional offshore gas pipelines, all without the need for a liquid couplant. This novel solution holds significant implications for offshore applications, as it allows for a single-pass inspection that provides actionable metal loss insights in wall thicknesses up to 75 mm (3.0 in.). The captured data ensures the early identification of features that minimize disruptions to operations, enhance safety, and optimize integrity management programs.  

Elevating Offshore Pipeline Integrity with Seamless and Swift Detection.

Ultrasonic inspection technologies, such as our EVO series, deliver direct inspection of liquid pipelines. The implications for offshore inspections are significant; systems can be inspected in a single pass, providing actionable insights about dents, ovalities, and metal loss in wall thicknesses up to 75 mm (3 in.). The high resolution of the data captured by these inspections ensures that features are identified early, allowing for remediation that minimizes the impact on operations, safety, and budget.

Ultrasonic Insights You Can Trust.

Enhanced Speed, Resolution, and Reliability.

EVO Series 1.0 offered by NDT Global significantly improves tool performance by enhancing speed, resolution, and reliability. Representing state-of-the-art electronics and incorporating high-resolution sensor carriers, this innovative technology marks a milestone in the inline inspection (ILI) evolution. 

For each project, we identify your unique requirements and tailor our service accordingly to ensure high standards of reliability, expertise, and responsiveness.
