Pulse Engineering and Consulting Limited successfully executed the MFL (Magnetic Flux Leakage) pigging operation for the 12″ Ebube-Oghale pipeline of Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC). Our expertise in pipeline integrity assessment and pigging operations ensured the reliable and efficient inspection of Line 2.
Scope of Work:
- Planning and Preparation: Collaborating closely with SPDC to develop a comprehensive pigging plan, taking into account pipeline specifications, operational conditions, and safety considerations. We conducted thorough pre-inspection assessments, including pipeline cleaning and preparation, to ensure the optimal conditions for pigging.
- Pigging Operation: Deploying advanced MFL pigging tools and equipment to perform the inspection of Line 2. Our highly skilled technicians executed the pigging operation, monitoring the progress and ensuring the smooth passage of the pig through the pipeline. We utilized real-time data acquisition systems to capture accurate measurements and identify any anomalies or integrity issues.
- Data Analysis and Reporting: Collecting and analyzing the inspection data using advanced software and algorithms. We generated comprehensive inspection reports, presenting the findings, anomalies, and recommendations for further actions. Our team provided accurate and actionable information to assist SPDC in making informed decisions regarding pipeline maintenance and integrity management.
- Integrity Assessment and Mitigation: Conducting a thorough assessment of the inspection results to evaluate the integrity of Line 2. We collaborated with SPDC to develop mitigation strategies and implement necessary repairs or maintenance activities to address any identified integrity issues.
