New cleaning solution from Holdtight proves popular in oil and gas sector
It’s no secret that coatings last longer and perform better on a clean surface. Most cleaning methods, however, cause problems of their own. Dry blasting shatters the rust and coating on the surface and embeds abrasive contaminants to become stuck into the roughened surface. Wet abrasive blasting with untreated water causes flash rust. Other salt […]
Ultrasonic Inspections Safer Than Radiography
Oil and gas pipelines require regular inspection to detect faults that can cause leaks. Welds in particular need careful examination as many types of weld defect can lower the overall strength of a pipeline and form a site for potential pipeline failure. Defects can occur in a weld, either due to incorrect operation of the […]
Can AI decrease risk and boost efficiency for oil and gas companies?
In recent years, a new trend has enthusiastically grabbed the attention of the oil and gas industry, and that trend is digitisation. The promise is, through the use of new technologies – in particular those related to the collection and analysis of huge amounts of data – digitisation will bring oil and gas companies considerable […]
