Study Notes
Pipeline Integrity and Inspection
- Pipelines are vital for conveying high-value commodities like oil and gas, but they have vulnerabilities to corrosion and deposits that can reduce flow rates and cause failures.
Current Inspection Methods
- Traditional inspection techniques are time-consuming, costly, and disrupt operations, with frequencies counted in years, not months.
- Intelligent In-Line Inspection (ILI) pigs inspect pipeline internal conditions, but are not suitable for regular monitoring due to infrequent use.
Introducing SGS Smart Pigging Solutions
- SGS has developed smart pigging solutions that combine the simplicity of cleaning pigs with advanced ILI pig functionality.
- Powered by i2i Pipelines technology, smart pigs use sensor arrays to scan pipelines for internal corrosion and cracking, profiling pressure, temperature, and velocity.
Benefits of Smart Pigging Solutions
- Simplify pipeline inspection and cleaning into one operation
- Reduce operational disruption and cost
- Provide rapid data analysis and inspection results
- Suit complex geometry pipelines and low-flow pipelines
- Allow frequent reuse and can be deployed by local, non-specialist technicians
Incorporating Smart Pigging Solutions
- Owners can move from inspection to monitoring with frequent, low-cost data collection
- Simplify the inspection process with low-risk, low-cost tools
- Focus on problem-solving with bespoke tools
- Minimize the risk of leaks and failures between traditional ILI pig runs
