This recommended practice document provides a process...

... to hold the position automatically when the algorithms indicate the detection of anomalies like corrosion, torn parts, scratching and the like thus increasing the resolution of data acquisition relevant to the identified anomaly. High-resolution image sets are taken during the inspection and exported...

... for the inspection of insulated and thicker coated flexible risers with outer sheath thicknesses of up to 70 mm. The sensors are able to detect wire breaks and wire disorganization in the outer tensile layer. The HFEC robotic scanner is self-driven and propelled by hydraulically operated wheel sets, it covers...

... that the novel level measurement system is able to detect levels of sand and liquid as well as clean water/oil interface levels with very high accuracy. Flow had no significant influence on the measurement results and the sensor output remained stable over the cause of one month. After the successful testing...

... methodologies for these devices. This project aims to develop a comprehensive solution comprising hardware and software components for the online diagnosis of dry-type transformers, primarily focusing on the detection of Inter-Turn Short Circuits (ITSC) in conjunction with Partial Discharge (PD) signatures...

... consequences. Even if all subsea systems are designed not to leak, leaks have and will occur, in smaller and larger volumes. Any leak, small or big, should be detected and stopped to avoid environmental disasters following the As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) philosophy as described by Offshore Norway...

... on or inherent dangers that O&G workplaces can offer to the workers such as machinery and dangerous areas with risk of collision and accidents. Detecting the lack of PPE can prevent injuries during work. For this purpose, we propose a surveillance system solution to automatically analyze video footage...

... systems for the detection of outer sheath breaches, the most common form of damage seen in flexible pipe during service, and in the application of the MAPS® stress measurement technology. The latter can provide a unique insight into the integrity of the primary load bearing elements within the pipe design...

... In the deep water pre salt Santos Basin Petrobras is interested in potential monitoring technologies for detection of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) in seawater at depths between 1200 and 2600 meters. At these depths, CO 2 is not a gas but a buoyant liquid with densities similar to sea water, which...

... The authors have developed an active acoustic Automatic Leak Detection Sonar (ALDS) designed to detect hydrocarbon leaks (mono and multi-phase oil and gas) at significant ranges, allowing coverage of wide areas from a single sensor. The system's single subsea sensor offers 360 degree...

.... Fuses and diode-based circuits protect each device from overcurrent and overvoltage. Each module has a microcontroller capable of detecting anomalies based on received signals, such as device currents/voltages from the protection circuits or information about the module temperature and humidity...

... operational parameters (such as pump pressure, bottomhole pressure, torque and drag). The software detects abnormal behaviors (such as an unexpected increasing trend on bottomhole pressure) and establishes quantitative criteria in order to identify a possible cause, suggesting corrective and/or preventive...

... pipeline blockages. Therefore detection and localization of the formation of blockages at its early stage is very important for remedial actions before catastrophic effects occur. In recent years, detection of blockage in pipelines has been an attractive area of research and several methods have been...
