Intero Integrity Services demonstrates how advanced ultrasonic ILI technology can inspect short-radius, previously unpiggable pipelines, delivering critical integrity data for aging infrastructure.
Automatic pig valve launchers enable simplified pigging automation, reducing site visits, costs and emissions for high-frequency and remote pipeline operations.
The global gas pipeline pigging tools market is projected to reach $1.8 billion by 2030 as pipeline expansion, integrity management programs and smart inspection technologies drive demand for cleaning and inspection tools.
Current Magnetometry Inspection (CMI) uses multi-frequency AC fields, AI/ML, and dense aboveground sensing to 3D-map pipelines, calculate EIR-free, and distinguish passivated versus actively corroding defects—enabling targeted digs on unpiggable lines without disrupting CP or operations.
A new pipeline system, MASiP, uses embedded fiber-optic technology to deliver real-time monitoring of pressure, stress, strain, and vibration. The innovation enables smarter pig tracking, reduces stuck pig risks, and could significantly cut costs and downtime for pipeline operators.
Petrobras is expanding its subsea pipeline integrity program with new inspection tools and strategies for both piggable and unpiggable lines. The initiative focuses on advanced crack detection, hybrid PIGs, and external screening technologies to enhance safety and extend pipeline life.
(P&GJ) — Pipelines can accumulate deposits and debris, with fouling influenced by fluid composition, contaminants like hydrogen sulfide and heavy metals, and operating conditions such as temperature, pressure, and flow.
DB Progetti provides designers, engineers, and manufacturers with a wide range of products for the oil and gas sector, including quick opening closures (QACs), Pipeline Inspection Gauge (PIG) launchers and receivers, pig signalers (intrusive type), various filtration solutions, and more.
T.D. Williamson’s innovative recovery tool and SmartPlug technology successfully resolved a stalled pig issue in an offshore pipeline, restoring normal operations and avoiding costly disruptions.
The pipeline-pigging service market is projected by Nestor to reach $12 billion by year-end 2036, thriving at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period. The industry size of pipeline pigging garnered $9 billion in the year 2023.
For the most part, the equipment meant to keep pipelines up and running remains up and running itself. When something goes wrong, a routine repair is often all it takes to set things right.
