Many assets utilized for the processing, storage, and transportation of products are owned by companies operating in the petrochemical sector. Components such as pipelines, pressure vessels, and aboveground storage tanks (AST) are examples of assets. Because of their complexity and the number of components they include, these assets need to be inspected and subjected to nondestructive testing (NDT) at regular intervals.
Inspection technologies like rapid ultrasonic gridding and robotic ultrasonic tank floor inspection have evolved considerably in the last decade. This paper considers some pros and cons of this evolution and discusses the results of recent inspections.
In Oil Sands In-Situ operation bitumen is often extracted from underground oil sands deposits through SAGD (Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage) technology. This method involves forcing steam into sub-surface oil sands deposits, usually those at depth greater than 150m (492 ft), to heat the bitumen locked in the sand, allowing it to flow well enough to be extracted [1]. This process technology makes it possible to access the underground deposits otherwise difficult to access through the open mine method. It is particularly relevant in Canada because it is the most common method of in situ extraction used in the oil sands.
