At this year’s Pipeline Pigging and Integrity Management Conference (PPIM) in Houston, Texas, ROSEN will unveil its new technology which provides laser-like 3D metal loss profiles derived from magnetic flux leakage (MFL).
The most widely used in-line inspection (ILI) tools employ MFL technology which are particularly well suited for the inspection of gas pipelines when applying electro-magnetic principles.
Until now, 3D profiling has not been available for ILI tools utilising MFL technology but ROSEN’s new technology, known as Deep Field Analyze, will do so to enable a true understanding of what is in the ground.
Owed to high-quality data from axial and circumferential MFL inspections being used and processed, laser-like 3D profiles of a metal loss feature will be provided for visualisation of the true shape of any corrosion or gouging prior to a dig up.
Deep Field Analyze will also benefit operators by providing information of maintenance optimisation, such as dig up priorities allowing faster decision-making processes for future activities and integrity conformation that will demonstrate calculations of safe burst pressure.
As a unique technology to the ILI market, ROSEN will incorporate its use into a new service on offer by the company, the ‘Virtual Dig Up’.
Representatives from ROSEN will be available at PPIM 2020 to discuss the company’s services at Booth 707.
