As 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 presents an approach to management and interpretation of pipeline-integrity data, ensuring integrity, safety, and reliability of the operator’s critical pipelines.
This paper describes the development of a system for comprehensive mapping and asset registration using a digital-twin approach.
