... Abstract Objectives/Scope This paper presents a methodology for the development of the bespoke risk-based inspection plan as part of the structural integrity management process of fixed offshore structures for the coast of Brazil. In this context, it is demonstrated how the local components...

... Abstract The incumbent need of sustainable and cost-effective solutions for subsea inspections of live assets installed on the seabed along with the increasing complexity of next generation subsea processing (e.g., boosting, separation, water treatment, desulfation), are some of the drivers...

... is not a simple task once the thinned areas are localized, which can occur at any place on the internal surface, and it is a huge area to inspect since a Caisson can have tens of meters and a large diameter. For this reason, punctual/spot ultrasonic thickness (UT) measurements are not effective, as it requires...

... where wellhead motion is observed during ROV inspection. The results of the analysis of an offshore wellhead displacement using the developed tool are presented, as well as the comparison of this outcome with data from BOP sensors. The results were used both to quantify the criticality...

... Depending on the winding angle of the umbilical, the scan can be circumferential or longitudinal. The average productivity is about 15-20 m of pipeline inspected per hour of scanning. HFEC – High Field Eddy Current HFEC – The High Field Eddy Current HFEC technique has been developed...

... inspections are mandatory and can be performed in air or in situ. Several techniques are available, with their advantages and limitations. This paper discusses the motivation and business driver for developing and implementing a new and cost-effective in situ inspection methodology. The approach is based...

... Abstract High resolution thickness mapping is a widely accepted method for fitness for service inspection and provides a permanent and quantitative record for remaining life assessment and through periodic campaigns can be used for comparative analysis. Subsea infrastructure introduces many...
