3. SIG Overview SIG is a stand alone company set up by Genesis OGC / Technip
SIG established to develop and operate innovative inspection technologies - Pig trap to Wellhead
3 main product lines for riser & pipeline integrity
IMV – In-line Multifunction Vehicle
Non-intrusive – Mobile ROV / Diver units
Non-intrusive – Permanent Monitoring Systems
Focused on Integrity issues within the Industry
Un-piggable pipelines - Deepwater Risers –TOLC – Subsea tie-backs
4. Background Products use low frequency guided wave ultrasonics combined with HF ultrasonics for sizing.
Close co-operation & development with GUL
First subsea deployment July 2004 – Amerada Hess in NS
Physics worked – client saved Ł2M
ROV & Diver systems have proved very effective
Clients include - Amerada Hess - Exxon Mobil – Dana - Shell
Since 2004 - progressive development into new applications
Includes in-line inspection - IMV
Permanent corrosion monitoring systems – g-PIMS
6. Guided Ultrasonics
24. Summary Guided Ultrasonics has a valuable role subsea from both an external & internal application
Flexible enough to be deployed from pig trap to wellhead
Easy integration with subsea Ops – little tooling required
IMV option addresses the difficulties of ‘un-piggable’ pipelines
More like an internal ROV than a traditional inspection pig
Combining low and high frequencies has advantages
very good detection & sizing of defects
Low frequency more practical in dirty pipelines
