asset integrity
-
SponsoredAs HPHT wells push equipment to the edge of material limits, operators are turning to advanced thermoplastics and sealed electrical assemblies to maintain system integrity. From ESP insulation to BOP control systems, the right component design can prevent failures, lower intervention costs, and extend equipment life in the harshest offshore environments. -
This paper describes the development of a system for comprehensive mapping and asset registration using a digital-twin approach.
-
By closely monitoring its subsea boosting system, Shell extended maintenance intervals and safely postponed pump replacement at its ultradeepwater Stones field.
-
New strategies for protecting metal infrastructure emerge as operators fine-tune a corrosion threat screening process and develop a new method for tracking inhibitor effectiveness.
-
A robotic arm, camera system, and virtual reality helped EniProgetti and University of Naples researchers overcome the major challenges of direct-contact nondestructive testing using a drone.
-
The latest phase of the Sureflex Joint Industry Project, which dates back almost 30 years, provides data-driven industry guidance relating to unbonded flexible-pipe population and damage/failure statistics, integrity management, and good practice.
-
The rolling ultrasound scanner was used to confirm the integrity of concrete-based structures.
-
Researchers from the Offshore Robotics for Certification of Assets Hub teamed with EDF Renewables to use a modified remotely operated vehicle to conduct what they say is the first autonomous underwater inspection of wind farm foundations.
-
The paper describes the steps that have already been taken to create an industry-wide group that includes operators, class regulators, and service providers to agree on the primary challenges and to encourage development of practical solutions in a cost-efficient way.
-
Asset integrity management encompasses the design, operation, and maintenance of an asset to preserve its integrity at an acceptable level of risk throughout its operating life.
