Integrity assessment selected by Ocensa Internal inspection tool capable of Detecting corrosion and deformation Anomalies including dents, gouges and grooves
Necessary considerations • Cleaning • Remove internally for old deposits of sands, wax and sediments. • Restrictions identifications • No impacts to crude oil transport program • No receiver trap installed • No environmental impacts • Inspection metal loss with a High Resolution Tool • Sizing and location accuracy. GPS location. Detection of anomalies on welds
Necessary considerations • Identification and location of mechanical anomalies • Identify, locate and size dents,ovality, wrinkles, deformations. • Identify possible defects in the pipe were the intelligent tool could be stuck. • Processing and analyze data • Review the data, identify defects, prioritize and define plan to go forward. • Anomalies assessment according B31G and R Streng • Finding’s repairs . • Data validation and repairs according with the report and priority
