Large standoff magnetometry (LSM), a novel screening technology, has shown strong industry relevance in several pipeline integrity investigations. LSM is used to detect changes in the magnetic field of a pipeline due to changes in the magnetic susceptibility of steel. These changes are known as inverse magnetostriction (a.k.a. the Villari effect) and occur when a ferromagnetic material (steel) is subjected to mechanical stress, such as the presence of stress on the wall of a pipeline. Geometric anomalies (ovalities, dents, wrinkles), hoop stress, ground and slope movement, bend strain, thermal expansion, cracks, and material defects are examples of potential sources of stress that LSM can detect from aboveground.

This paper summarizes the use of LSM as a complimentary tool in several pipeline integrity assessments conducted on oil and gas pipelines, in this case, to pinpoint a lost inline inspection pig and to identify dents, cracks, buckles, slope movement, casing ends, unknown valve locations and other pipeline integrity and direct assessment applications. Ongoing development programs and lessons learnt from practical, real-life projects and validations of the technology are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of LSM for pipeline integrity investigations.

The reverse osmosis (RO) membrane fouling is a significant challenge faced by oil and gas plants, impacting their operational efficiency and overall productivity. The primary cause of RO membrane fouling in oil and gas plants can be attributed to the presence of various foulants, including suspended solids, organic matter, scaling minerals, and biological agents. Among these foulants, microbial activity plays a significant role in accelerating membrane fouling.

The Frøy field is in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea and is located in the Jurassic Sleipner and
Hugin formations at a depth of 2940 – 3176 m true vertical depth subsea. It is made up of a series of
reservoir units (RU), with the main units being RU3 to 5. The reservoir has a porosity of 15 – 23% and a
permeability of 15 – 1500 mD.

The global cost of corrosion is estimated to be US$2.5 trillion, which is equivalent to 3.4% of the global GDP (2013). By using available corrosion control practices, it is estimated that savings of between 15 and 35% of the cost of corrosion could be realized; i.e., between US$375 and $875 billion annually on a global basis. These costs do not include individual safety or environmental consequences which can occur due to near misses, incidents, forced shutdowns (outages), accidents, etc.

Use Of Potential Probes To Monitor Cathodic Protection: Accuracy Of The IR-Free Potential Measurement

Product Number: 51321-16765-SG

Cathodic protection (CP) is an electrochemical corrosion prevention technique, which is implemented by circulating a direct current between an electrode (anode) placed in the environment and the structure to be protected (the cathode): this current causes a lowering of the potential of the metal and reduces its corrosion rate, until it stops.

Pre-construction primers (also known as shop primers or pre-fabrication primers) are very thin films applied to blast cleaned steel plates and shapes to provide preservation of the blasted steel during the shipbuilding or construction process. SSPC is developing an industry guide document containing information regarding the use of pre-construction primers (PCP) on structural steel in shipbuilding.

Use of UNS S32906 versus UNS N02200 on the first effect evaporator in NaOH production

Product Number: 51323-19487-SG

Publication Date: 2023

The production of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) can be carried out by the membrane, diaphragm or mercury process. The biggest difference between these processes, with regard to fluid composition, is that the caustic soda (NaOH) produced by the diaphragm process has a higher chloride content during its production process.

Such aggressiveness in the environment generally calls for the use of special materials to increase the useful life of the equipment and avoid unscheduled shutdowns in the production unit.
