Failure analysis is a critical process in determining the physical root causes of problems. The process is complex, draws upon many different technical disciplines, and uses a variety of observation, inspection, and laboratory techniques

The Viking QA Team provides experienced and competent QA & TPI Inspectors around the globe, providing mill, post mill and vendor surveillance on critical casing and/or tubing strings, drill pipe, line pipe, downhole engineered equipment and accessory items.

GATE follows a similar methodology to threat identification in risk assessment (e.g. FMEA), and analyses the relations between possible causes, and prevention and maintenance measures to highlight the cause(s) to be addressed.

Provides fit-for-service evaluations, testing and analysis for evaluating complex downhole failures, pipeline failure investigations and forensic services for midstream and downstream clients and also provides services to the renewable energy sector.

The Corrosion and Materials Team for oil and gas developments and water and gas injection systems forms one of Viking’s core oil and gas engineering services.
