Project Experiences & Successes
Pipeline Evacuation & Assessment
A GoM operator witnessed a leaking 6” pipeline. Upon repairing the visual leak and attempting to perform a successful hydrostatic pressure test a second non-visual leak occurred, ultimately resulting in extended production loss.
In order to perform a second assessment and bring production back online, the pipeline assessment required a 100% fluidpacked volume of seawater to ensure an oxygen-free environment.
6-Inch Re-Assessment
A midstream company operating a high pressure gas pipeline required assessment services in order to maintain regulatory compliance. The said pipeline asset was considered unpiggable for ILI technology. In order to comply with regulatory guidelines for an MAOP verification, the company demanded a hydrostatic pressure test assessment.
Hydrate Remediation Using Nitrogen
Provided complete hydrate blockage remediation support from initial onshore Engineering Assessment to execution planning and eventual successful field execution using nitrogen.
Hydrate Remediation
A Gulf of Mexico (GoM) operator in the process of decommissioning one of its fields requested the engineering assessment of a blockage existing in their flowline-riser. The reservoir fluid characteristics and the field’s operational history were extensively reviewed. The review indicated hydrates to be the likely cause of the blockage.
Paraffin Remediation
Custom solvent products and flow assurance engineering provide total approach to plugged GoM pipeline.
Pipeline Surveillance
LiquiGel® pig maps internal pipeline geography and provides target area for remediation pill with no shut-in required.
