Non-Intrusive Inspection of Pressure Vessels - Reduces Costs While Increasing Safety & Maintaining Uptime
Non-Intrusive Inspection of Pressure Vessels - Reduces Costs While Increasing Safety & Maintaining Uptime
Project Overview: In mid 2021, Oceaneering started an 18-month project to complete non-intrusive inspection (NII) services as part of an ongoing contract with a North Sea operator. The project scope covers a package of 50 pressure vessels across several sites. The vessel characteristics were diverse and included varied materials, services, operating temperatures, and service histories. Challenge: The client required a solution that confirmed the condition of their pressure vessels and enabled them to reduce costs while increasing safety and uptime. NII is often considered an attractive option by many operators as the process used to plan and evaluate an online vessel inspection often allows replacement or deferment of internal visual inspection (IVI).
