In the oil and gas industry, pipelines are subject to corrosion and material degradation over time. Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is routinely employed to inspect the thickness of pipeline walls. In a notable case, a pipeline operator in Alaska identified a significant reduction in wall thickness in a remote area using UT. This early detection allowed for timely repairs, preventing a potential oil spill disaster. NDT has proven to be a crucial tool in maintaining the reliability of pipeline networks in the ever-evolving landscape of the oil and gas industry.

Did you know that we have a blog? Check out our latest entry - Flexible Riser Annulus Vent Port Inspection and Cleaning System: A Breakthrough in Riser Integrity Management Flexible risers are widely used in offshore oil and gas operations to transport fluids from the seabed to surface facilities. These risers are equipped with annulus vent ports, which are essential for releasing permeated gases and liquids from the pipe annulus. If these vent ports become blocked, it can lead to overpressure and rupture of the outer sheath, potentially resulting in environmental damage and operational disruptions.

Did you know that operators that rule out powerful permanent magnet motors for artificial lift operations are constraining environmental and efficiency gains? Permanent Magnet Motors are poised to redefine performance standards in the oil and gas sector, offering significant enhancements over traditional Induction Motors. Learn more in this great article from World Oil 👇. #BakerHughes #WorldOil #WeAreBakerHughes #OilAndGas #Innovation #Efficiency

Subsea pressure boosting Subsea boosting as shown in Figure reduces or eliminates the backpressure on the wells resulting from the riser hydrostatic head and the riser and flowline pressure drop caused by high viscosity. The pressure increases between the output of the boosting and the backpressure on the well will increase the flow from the well. Components of a subsea boosting station may include: • Subsea gas compressor, normally used for gas re-injection into the reservoir for pressure maintenance; • Subsea multiphase pump, used for reduce the back-pressure on wellheads thus increase the transport distance; • Subsea wet gas compressors, used for gas transportation to remote offshore host facilities or onshore factory Subsea pressure boosting system enables longer subsea tiebacks, which potentially could enable the economics of exploiting small, remote, marginal fields. Subsea separation could provide an economic alternative for debottlenecking existing surface process facilities, allowing better utilization of these installations by adding new subsea tiebacks which currently would not be economic to develop.  Subsea boosting may require high consumption of the electric power during the production thus the power sources should be considered. #subsea #oilandgas #offshore

Preserving and extending the life of high value oil and gas wells involves regular maintenance and capital investment. Malfunctioning valves present a range of problems, from difficulties with wellbore access to fluid loss, loss of primary well barriers, and potential production shutdowns. In this example, an operator in Trinidad & Tobago utilised EV’s Optis technology to help evaluate the integrity and function of a Surface-controlled Subsurface Safety Valve in their gas well. The safety valve in the 7-inch tubing was leaking and several inflow tests were performed and confirmed the leak rate exceeded the operator’s integrity standards. With the integrity of the well at risk, the operator needed a complete understanding of the situation downhole.

Great case study out of Latin America showing the value of downhole visual inspection - in this case, a suspected leaky DHSV. EV #visualanalytics #wellintervention #offshoreoilandgas #wellintegrity #downholetools

How gas travel in a dual fuel generator engine? 1) • The gas regulating unit is a device that controls the pressure and flow of the gas to the engine cylinders. 2) The gas regulating unit consists of filters, pressure regulators, shut-off valves, and ventilating valves. 3) After the gas regulating unit, the gas is mixed with air and ignited by a small amount of pilot oil in the engine cylinders 4) • The gas combustion produces power and exhaust gas, which is recirculated to reduce emissions and improve efficiency. • The gas combustion produces power and exhaust gas, which is recirculated to reduce emissions and improve efficiency #lngindustry #dualfuel #engineeringrecruitment #engineeringcareers #engineering #lngjobs #lngbunkering #lngshipping Maritime Operations DNV - Maritime LNG Prime

11-year-old Elijah recently supported Secc in a major Subsea build. 2 Hot Make Hot Break (HMHB) Turret Swivels integrated onto a Riserless Light Well Intervention (RLWI) system. Elijah not only built the Intervention stack, but commissioned a bespoke ROV with another 1 due to be built. Thanks for the support, Elijah. This Baker Hughes model really helps people understand the scale and detail of RLWI equipment.

Which of the following operations do you think we are performing in this gas lift well? 1. Rocking valves. 2. Integrity test (no gas emissions). 3. Identifying the gas operating point. 4. Detailed gas lift troubleshooting. 5. Gas lift valves malfunctioning or leaking. 6. All of the above using a Dual Shot technique. Do you need this on your gas lift well ?

Natural Gas Compressor Stations Compressor stations are an integral part of the natural gas pipeline network that moves natural gas from individual producing well sites to end users. As natural gas moves through a pipeline, distance, friction, and elevation differences slow the movement of the gas, and reduce pressure.  Compressor stations are placed strategically within the gathering and transportation pipeline network to help maintain the pressure and flow of gas to market. Safety Considerations Compressor stations incorporate a variety of safety systems and practices to protect the public and station employees in the event of an emergency.  For example, every station has an emergency shutdown system (ESD) connected to a control system that can detect abnormal conditions such as an unanticipated pressure drop or natural gas leakage.  These emergency systems will automatically stop the compressor units and isolate and vent compressor station gas piping (sometimes referred to as a blow down).  Compressor stations periodically test and perform maintenance on the emergency shutdown system to ensure reliability.  It is advisable for landowners, neighbors, and first responders to become familiar with safety systems, testing procedures, and emergency response protocols for compressor stations in their area. #naturalgas #compressor #station #test #maintenance #vent #emergency #safety #pressure #LNG #LPG #energy #shutdown #pipeline #flow #piping #pipe #temperature #inspection #engineering #learning
